Our client Nordin Door Service, Inc. wanted a website and logo design at an affordable price so we worked with them to give them the right package deal to meet their unique needs. It's so important in 2008 for small businesses to have a web presence. Joe Nordin (owner) can now add www.nordindoor.com to all of his marketing. The website allows potential customers the opportunity to learn more about him and his business before choosing to work with him. They can view the long list of testimonies from past and present customers and view a list of services he offers. Nordin Door Service now accepts credit/debit card and paypal payments online as a new feature offered on their new website.

J. Lacey Designs includes SEO(search engine optimization) and registering the website with the major search engine in all of it's website design packages. This will allow more business to come to Nordin Door Services through search engine searches. For example, when someone looks for "Jacksonville Garage Door Repair, Replacement or Installation" NDS will be on the list. 

Blogging continues to be one of the most cost effective ways of improving your ranking in SEO. Just another benefit of being a client of J. Lacey Designs...we'll blog your way to the top.

Rocket Ships are the new fascination around our house. So when my son, Jake, needed a theme for his birthday party I quickly came up with the Rocket Ship idea. I sat down last Sunday and sketched out what I wanted with paper and pencil, scanned it into my computer and went to work coloring it in (like a coloring book), adding the text details of the party and adding Jake into the Rocket Ship.

We're trying to keep his birthday simple. So many now-a-days are over-the-top. However, these little personalized birthday invitation are great for sparking his imagination and a great token to for him to keep to remember when he Launched into Outer space!

We now offer slide shows! A client of ours was in need of a slide show and while the old process would have worked (similar to the rotating banner ads), the new technology makes it possible to add audio and smoother design elements. To check out our test slide show go to our What's New page. 

Call us today to add a slide show to your website.

Do you like those little icons that appear in the url bar next to a website's domain name, next to the website title on browser tabs and next to website names in your bookmarks? Those little icons are called favicons and they are just one of those little details that makes your website special. We recommend that when and if you have the time and/or money, pay attention to the details. Favicons are a great example of something you can do to impress your website audience.

Here is the process if you want to create them for your site.

1. Simply create a 16 X 16 icon that you desire. Save it as a gif.

2. Find a Favicon generator online to convert the image to a .ico format. Name it "favicon.ico"

3. Upload the image to the root of your site. 

4. Add the html code <link rel="shortcut icon" href="www.yourwebsiteurl.com/favicon.ico> to your page and upload the page with the new html code.

If you are completely confused by what I just wrote but would still like favicons for your site, call today and discuss it with us. We'd love to help you with it.
