John McKown: President of Delaware.Net, Inc.
Microsoft FrontPage is a web design program designed for beginners. In early 2006, Microsoft reported that they will not release any further versions of their web design tool. They decided to stop making the product for several reasons:
Adobe invited me to give and advanced web design presentation live online, and it happened today at noon EST. There were over 1200 attendees. The presentation will be available on-demand on the Adobe web site in about a week. I demonstrated how Delaware.Net is using the latest Adobe Dreamweaver and ColdFusion tools to build Web 2.0 web sites.
Blogs are continuing to explode in popularity. In a recent post, I explained why you need a blog, and how to set one up. If you aren’t familiar with blog software and what it is for, then you should read that post first. I also explained some of the pitfalls and potential misuses of your blog in another post. With this article, I want to give a bigger picture for folks that need a web site quickly, and who are considering blog software to run their ENTIRE web site. There ARE cases where blog software can work as the main web site for a business under rare circumstances, and I will go over this as well.
2007 is our best year ever for R&D
In late 2006 and into 2007, I hired a bunch of new talent for Delaware.Net, and we also improved our internal web development process greatly. This was due to customer demand for more responsiveness from us, and I am happy to say that we achieved this goal. The new team and our business plan is literally transforming our company and taking us to a whole new level.
I market socially in local networking groups, national trade shows, local trade shows, and here on my blog. To do that much marketing, I have to expose some of my techniques and secrets behind online marketing and what works. That being said, it takes a LOT more than a couple of tricks to be successful with your online marketing. A good example is blogging.
We just installed ColdFusion 8 on some new servers that arrived this week.
Dreamweaver CS3
Adobe recently released their CS3 suite, and we upgraded our installations of Dreamweaver around the office. Overall I really like the improvements that I see.
We’ve made a ton of progress with our Store-Logic Ecommerce platform this month, in preparation for our launch of our next version of our commerce and CRM platform.
Real estate is once again a hot market - for web developers. Why? Because the real estate market has softened in 2007, and this means that real estate companies finally need to market once again - at least here in the Mid Atlantic region.
The purpose of this article is to explain what is involved in showing real estate listings dynamically in your real estate web site, whether you are an agent or a real estate broker. I’ll explain how it works, what you will need, what is new in 2007, and what the costs are.
A friend of mine sent me a link to a web site that said that one of my domain names was worth a lot of money. It was quite entertaining. You can enter your domain name and it will tell you the general value based on its length, and whether it is a TLD (.com, .net, .org). It also checks Archive.org to see how long the domain name has been in use, since this can also have an affect on how search engines will rank the domain name.
