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.

A prospective customer came in to see me today, and right away I found several things in their website that were holding them back from better search engine results and sales. One of the first things that I do when I evaluate a website is to look at the domain name registration of the domain name. The most glaring thing I found right away was that their domain name was about to expire in TWO MONTHS. This is most likely having a negative affect on their Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Delaware.Net has built many websites for municipalities, and one of the major reasons why we are chosen for projects is our integration of the public website with complaint systems, content management systems, mass emailing systems, intranets, project management and – online bill-pay systems (or OBPP). A solid municipal website design effort requires all of these components to be successful, and an online bill-payment is one of the most important features that municipalities need. In this article, I will provide an overview of what is involved in building one of these systems, so that your city/town can plan how to integrate a bill-pay system. Read the rest of this entry »

Posted in Articles, Content Management System, Delaware.Net, Inc., Web Design, Web Development at 10:41 am by john
There are many Content Management Systems (CMS) software packages on the market if you want to manage your own website content. Some are very inexpensive or free, and other enterprise CMS suites can cost over $100K. Delaware.Net offers our own system, called Team-Logic. It is neither costly nor free, and it is incredibly powerful but still easy to use. Prices start at $50 per month for the whole system.
There ARE cheaper open source solutions out there, and on the low end you have systems like Drupal, PHPNuke, PostNuke, .netNuke, Joomla, and others. These can be made to work if you have the time and patience, but for the most part they are solutions for non-profits and companies that don’t want to spend a lot on their website design work. I would never recommend them for a growing business that really cares about their website. Especially if they don’t have an in-house IT team. These low-end systems are well suited for a website where it is OK to use design templates for someone that wants to get up and running quickly. But there WILL be problems when using these systems, and like everything else – there is a trade-off.

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.

One of the biggest (if not THE biggest) challenges in building a new web site for a client, is getting quality written content for the web site that is provided by the client. Jason Cockerham, a web developer at Delaware.Net, just wrote a good post about this in the Delaware.Net blog.
