New Year Resolutions - A New Website

Happy New Year!
Have you made any New Year resolutions?
I plan on expanding the business in a few different ways. One way is to broaden our network of designers and developers so we can accommodate our growing client base. Another is a new website for MJS Web Solutions. You know the old adage, “A carpenter’s home never gets built”? Well, us web designers know the saying. We were so busy last year, we didn’t have time to concentrate on ourselves, especially our website.
Which brings up an article I saw last weekend, in the SF Chronicle, about small-business owners making New Year’s resolutions. What caught my eye was this quote from someone who had setup her new website:
“Creating a Web site is a lot of work when you’re a small business without a marketing department,” she said. “You’re constantly proofing text and bringing people together to answer e-mails from the Web designer. It was an odyssey to get it done.”
She’s right. It takes a lot of time and patience when building a new website. There is a lot involved.
- Strategic planning
- Site structure design
- Visual design and proofing
- HTML/CSS coding production and testing
- Backend programming and testing
- Search engine optimization
- Launch, measuring, and future updates
The major challenge is time. Know that you will have to spend quality time on your new website. That’s good because it’s your business you’re showing to the world.
Happy New Year!

It Happens Website Launches
Hello again.
As promised, we are announcing another website launch, designed and developed by MJS Web Solutions and Gunderson Design.
The Town of Danville’s Transportation department has a program called Street Smarts for educating kids on traffic safety. Gunderson Design and MJS Web Solutions were brought in to develop the It Happens website exclusively for high school students.
To get high school students to learn more about traffic safety, we partnered with Planet Jam/Stickyfish on designing a rewards program where students could watch traffic videos, submit their own stories and earn points by doing so. With these points, students can purchase prizes such as iPods, Nintendos and Playstations.
The local media has received the story too.

Two New Websites Launched by MJS Web Solutions
 Hello.
We’ve been very busy around here the last couple of weeks and that’s lead to a limited amount of postings.
What could be taking up so much of our time around here, you ask?
Well, it’s preparing and launching 3 separate websites in a week.
- Our most impressive work to date (I’m so modest), and just launched last week, is Matsco.com, a dental, veterinary, and optometric practice financing firm. We’ve been working on this site for quite awhile and you can see why it took the time it did.
- We also launched Red Condor, an email and spam filtering firm.
- We’ll tell you about this one tomorrow. It hasn’t officially launched.
Both sites were created exclusively using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and built for maximum search engine exposure.
Mike Swartz says, “Check ‘em out”.
