Note from Allen

“We get a lot of client questions about SEO and ‘how to I show up on the first page of Google?’ and the simple answer is update your website often.”

Content is King for SEO

Write new job announcements, highlight company news, write tutorials, – all with your relent keywords.

Most clients are too busy working on their own business to deal with website updates, so have a new Content Update Service that we are introducing to existing clients. Contact me to discuss your specific website content requirements.

Technical & Security Updates

Website Technical & Security Updates
We’ve already done some major website technical updates through our Website Technical & Security Updates process. To provide you with extra protection from hackers, we have been proactively updating your website programming code to make it as secure as possible. Nothing will keep a determined hacker out, but we don’t have to make it easy for them.

Technical & Security Updates invoices ($75.00) will be issued at the end of each quarter. Save $40.00 plus HST by requesting annual billing ($260.00).  Contact me for more information.

Sitemanager Code Maintentance Upgrades
Clients that utilize our Sitemanager Content Management System will be contacted this quarter to discuss what needs to be done to continue to keep their website code inline with on going server updates.

Karen is buzzing off to Australia

Website updates might take a little longer in March as Karen will be exploring Australia and leaving us short staffed. We will respond to all requests as quickly as possible, but probably slower than usual.

Be Ready for Trade Show Season
For many of you, January to May is busy with the trade show season. Please provide sufficient time to properly update your booth display, hand-out materials, and to tie in your website to your marketing efforts. Contact me to get started on your trade show projects now.

Holiday Hours
So that we can spend some quality time with family and friends during the Christmas season, we will close on Friday December 21, 2012, and reopen on Monday January 7, 2013. During this time, we will be available for scheduled and emergency website updates.

2013 Website Hosting
Annual Hosting invoices for 2013 will be arriving in January so that clients may take advantage of HST input credits. 

Website Technical & Security Updates
All clients should be transitioned to our Website Technical & Security Updates program by the end of the December. To provide you with extra protection from hackers, we have been proactively updating your website programming code to make it as secure as possible. Nothing will keep a determined hacker out, but we don’t have to make it easy for them.

Technical & Security Updates invoices ($75.00) will be issued at the end of each quarter. Save $40.00 plus HST by requesting annual billing ($260.00).  Contact me for more information.

Note from Allen

The Mobile Movement Study reported that 22% of smartphone shoppers purchase via apps. Is your business missing out on potential sales because it doesn’t have an app? Yes, people will purchase from your website, but as more and more people adopt smart phones, they will choose an app for reasons of convenience.

Mobile App Development for Business

When you think of a mobile app, you probably think of a game. When we think of an app, we think of an effective, information-focused communication tool for building, engaging and maintaining client relationships.

If you want to know how a mobile app can help you build customer loyalty and increase repeat business, contact me or visit www.honeycombapps.com, our new website dedicated to our mobile app development service.

Add some fresh content to your site, even just a few lines about a new client or a new project, on a regular basis and, over time, this practice will increase your search engine ranking. If you’re too busy to do this, contact Honeycomb for help.

Kudos to Senwi House Inspections for practicing what we consistently preach. Senwi frequently updates their website with home inspection news directed towards its primary target market, house buyers.
