Boagworld recently did an article on business and their websites entitled
5 options when website budgets get slashed . More to the point, what to do about your old and tired website when the budget for a redesign is low. Boagworld is the blog of web strategist Paul Boag and has some great stuff on it.
The article deals with some very simple things that can be done regarding how to tackle your website with such topics as “should I redesign or realign my website” (an article we wrote about back in Nov 09) or “prioritize and phase development”. The article is great and right on target with steps any business owner can take when it comes to tight budgets without compromising quality. If your business has questions about an aging site and need a new look, contact MosaicTeam.

Or What Caffeine Actually Does to Your Brain
Caffeine Boost
As a business owner or employee there are times when we have had to pull a late night to get that budget report done, make the final touches on a proposal, or the project completed that was just handed to you. All to often, as Americans work longer hours as it is, we are exhausted. Most of us turn to a trusted and warm favorite…coffee or another form of liquid caffeine.
Recently in LifeHacker, they looked at the well known stimulant that we know very little about. The general consensus on caffeine studies shows that it can enhance work output, but mainly in certain types of work. But, don’t expect it to replace a week long work-a-holic binge. Read this interesting article on caffeine and what it does to productivity and the human brain focusing on an excerpt from the book “Buzz: The Science and Lore of Alcohol and Caffeine”, by Stephen R. Braun.

Comment Strategies
As a business owner today you have heard and read that having a blog can be a vital part to getting your message out and creating a community around your brand or company. It is also a great way to share information with others and get feedback from your readership. As blog owners, the way we get our feedback is thru comments. The question comes into play is how do you deal with your comments.
Comment Strategies
A recent article on Contentini.com titled “When Bad Comments Happen to Good Websites: Strategies for Managing Comments Online” talks about the different strategies that you can take to not only promote great discussions on your site, but to also make sure the noise (and spam) stays to a minimum. {continue reading…}

Menu iPad App
Looking around the web today I found an interesting site for restaurant and cafe owners. It is a tool to help
turn your menu into an iphone/ipad app. This marketing tool is free to use and can take your online menu to a whole new level. The site is
mobilehunger.com.
The signup/registration was quick and easy. Once logged in you go right into giving mobilehunger your restaurant information. It will ask everything from whether you recycle, your hours, if you have a bar, all your contact info and social media information. It even has a Food Borne Illness Disclaimer built right in.
After that you can change your background colors as well as your text colors and upload your logo. As soon as the main part of the site is created you can start building your menu. Over all the process was very simple to use.
If you have a business that uses a menu then mobilehunger is for you. If you happen to try it out, let’s us know what you thought of it.
