Google is making a giant change this week that could crush millions of small businesses

I read an article (http://www.businessinsider.com/google-mobilegeddon-2015-4) explaining how Google's new search algorithm stands to hurt small business mobile websites.  In short, if you're website isn't "responsive" which means it automatically resizes itself to fit any sized screen, you will not make it to the top of the search results.

The other part of this that makes it detrimental to small businesses is that there are unscrupulous web design businesses out there charging exorbitant fees to create websites for small businesses.  I have many friends and clients that have been taken advantage of by these types of people.

This was the reason I originally began designing websites.  A friend opened a very small ice cream shop and couldn't afford the price quotes he was getting.  Then another friend, who own's a 50 year old family business said the same thing.  Now I am proud to say I am a website designer that specializes in affordable web marketing solutions for small business.

So here's the good news for you if you own a small business and need a responsive website design...I can help!  I refuse to price gouge.  I am open and honest about my pricing.  Website design pricing starts at $999 plus a $60 per month non-negotiable fee.  Let me impress you.  Set up a FREE DEMO please fill out THIS FORM and we will construct a full functional we site for your business and schedule a free 45 minute walk-through presentation to show you how our technology can benefit your business.

I hope I can help you and your business stay on top!

K9 “Hero” finds missing three year-old

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. A child goes missing for no apparent reason. In an instant, fear turns smiles and happiness into panic and despair.

In the case of a three year-old boy who wandered off into the woods following a stray puppy, the outcome could have been much worse without the search and rescue effort of a Connecticut State Police K9 appropriately named “Hero.”

After searching the area for more than two hours with friends, neighbors and local police officers, Connecticut State Police K9 “Hero” was called into action with his handler Trooper Mike Zella. 
“Hero” was given a scent article by the missing boy’s mother and Trooper Zella sent “Hero” on a search of the deep woods. “Hero” carefully worked through the area previously contaminated by the well-intentioned human search party seeking the boy’s scent. Following his training and his nose, “Hero” quickly located the boy wandering another trail around a pond.

Trooper Zella said, "without “Hero”, the outcome could have been much worse. "Hero" is a godsend and has not only assisted me in finding missing people, he also excels at apprehending criminals." Appropriately named at birth by his breeder, the Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation, “Hero” was provided to the Connecticut State Police.
