In the web design world, web design professionals HATE HATE HATE Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser. Its the one topic that even feuding web designers agree on. Typically, our customers look at us funny when we suggest that they stop using Internet Explorer. It feels to me as though the customers think we are being tech snobs because we use web browsers that might have a few more toolbars and tools than Internet Explorer. Or they might think that we use the other browsers because they are open-source.
These are not the reasons we want you to stop using Internet Explorer!

A few months ago, I became inspired to improve our office environment. My goals included:
- Open up the space – we knocked down three walls in the office, combining the tech and design areas.
- Bring in more natural light – knocking down the walls allowed more light in from the perimeter offices.
- Get rid of barriers between people – all office desk hutches were disassembled and removed.
- Improve lighting – replace flourecent lights with halogen spotlights and track lighting.
- Improve the colors of the walls – we had the office painted with a warmer color.
- Add more markerboards – we use markerboards a lot, so we got industrial markerboards from www.uwco.net.
- New flooring – I wanted to remove all carpet from the floors, but we settled for having the carpets professionally cleaned.
- Hang examples of our work – we created a wall of work examples that you pass as you walk into our office now.
After accomplishing all of these goals, I stepped back to admire our office space, and to see what else it needed to turn it into a true design studio. The thing that really jumped out at me is that we have collected quite an array of different computer desks over the years. Some were 6 feet wide, some were 5 feet wide, and two were 4 feet wide. All were made of that particle board that I hate. So the next goal became:
- Get new desks.

I got this email inquiry from a potential customer yesterday:
Comments: I recently started a website with (deleted name of host) which is a do-it-yourself web hosting site. After a week or so, I think I’m about ready to throw in the towel! The problem is that I’ve paid for my domain for the next 4 years!! Can you all build my site through the existing host so I don’t lose my money? I want a great website at an affordable cost (I’m sure you’ve never heard that before!)
I work in the area and could stop by your office at some point. My website is (deleted)
Thanks,

We updated our Store-Logic and Team-Logic CMS applications to take advantage of a new way to handle page URLs, which will make our client’s websites come up higher in Google and other search engines. I posted an in-depth article about how this works on our company blog today which you can view here. These new SEO features will work right now for all existing customers that are using Store-Logic 2.0 and Team-Logic CMS. Call me for more information if you are interested in adding these latest generation applications for your website if it was built before August 2008.

The City of Harrington, Delaware recently awarded Delaware.Net the contract to rebuild their website. Harrington researched web design companies from around the country. The proposal from another competing municipal website design vendor for the city’s website was over $30,000 and a included a 3-year contract commitment for hosting the site. By contrast, Delaware.Net prepared a strategy for the city to prepare a new website interface, install our proven content management system for cities, a request tracking system, a city Intranet, a new police department website, a mass emailing system, live training, and much more. Delaware.Net saved the city over $15,000 with the project, and was able to offer more features and better support. Read the rest of this entry »

ICON Enterprises (doing business as ‘CivicPlus’) is a company in Kansas that specializes in building municipal websites. My company (Delaware.Net) competes with companies like this from around the country when we bid on municipal website design projects. We lost a couple of prospective new projects to CivicPlus in 2007 when we were in the middle of producing our own Content Management System (CMS) for government websites. But in 2008, we had completed building and testing our CMS system for eGovernment websites, and we have won many municipal projects from around the USA ever since. Our new system is called CivicLogic. In this article, I will explain why our solution is better than some of the other options out there, and how we can help municipalities to migrate to our solution.
Here are some of the differences between us and our competitors;

Anyone can setup an ecommerce store online. There are many ways to post products for sale in minutes, even using sites like ebay. I speak with people that want to sell products online every day. While many people want to make lots of money and come up high in Google, most of them aren’t ready to commit the time and resources that a true ecommerce store takes. Those who understand the demands and that are willing to commit the resources are the ones that have the most success.
