What is “SSL” and why does your website NEED it

While they are several factors that we know of that can improve your website’s ranking, Google started warning developers back in 2017 that websites needed to start being secure (http:// to https://) and true to their word they are now flagging websites that do not have the correct security certificate applied. Just this morning, I did a keyword search for “carpet cleaning” on google to see how my friend’s unsecure and pretty old website was faring in this new security climate. Well I an tell you that there were 10 pages of Google business listings and their listing for their well established carpet cleaning business was not on one of those pages. Carpet cleaning is a pretty competitive industry around my parts and not only does having the “not secure” showing up whenever someone visits your page look unprofessional it’s so easy to resolve this issue and inexpensive so why NOT get it done? If you need help with this, just drop me a line and I’ll be happy to help you get your website secure!

  • We LOVE our new website! It's been a few months now and we are still hearing compliments weekly on how gorgeous our website is.  Additionally, we are a local, service-based business and since the website redesign we have seen a noticeable increase in new, organic leads.  We were so happy with this new relationship that we took the plunge and had them migrate all our files and emails to Microsoft 365 thus transitioning fully to the cloud.  As a small

  • To say our interoffice computer setup was outdated and inconsistent would be an understatement.  Every station was piecemealed (and OLD) and we were all working on different versions of software, with odd quirks and bugs constantly needing to be handled, which just became part of our everyday.  The bugs got to the point that we were forced to make changes.  In came Josie who had the knowledge of exactly how to set us up from spec’ing the exact right hardware,

  • Josie got our whole company operating on the cloud, including our email and documents as well as both Mac & Windows platforms. Everyone is now so much more efficient, using the same email platform and able to find and access documents quickly. The whole process was seamless and Josie was a pleasure to work with!

  • Josie took over all of my Hair Studio’s marketing and promotion in 2016. She rebranded our name/logo and designed a website that captured new emails and she integrated Vagaro, which is a an online booking service. I can honestly say that I have seen a tremendous amount of new clients as a result of my local search rankings improving tremendously. Josie knows what she’s doing! She’s extremely smart and she’s always on top of the ever changing digital marketing world.

  • Our small business needed a website and we had no idea how to turn our idea into a simple, clean one page site. We contacted Josie and she was very knowledgeable and understanding of what our needs and wants were. She validated our hard work we had already invested into building our site and made our dream a reality. We had already built a site that was a confusing jumble on Wix and she was able to turn that into

  • I always struggle with technology. I have taken computer classes which offer good overall information, but it's the one-on-one learning that has been the most helpful to me. I have been very happy with Josie’s help regarding my projects, questions, and concerns. Josie has helped me understand computer language and programs, she has helped me organize my information, and she has provided “How To videos” of our sessions for me to refer to later on. In addition, Josie helped me
