Summer has been going by so fast it has been hard to keep up with writing here. Between working on projects and enjoying time with family. One of the projects I have been working on is a website for a Regina Auto Glass company called Expert Auto Glass. They are a new auto glass repair and replacement company here in Regina and it was fun to put together their website for them this summer.

Their site features a nice clean look that is easy to read. We also feature their recently made television commercial on the home page of the site. There website is also mobile browser friendly, so if you are out driving around and you get a stone chip you can easily navigate the website and find their location to get your stone chip repair quickly by their staff.

Check out Expert Auto Glass for all of your glass repair and replacement here in Regina. Of course if your local Regina business needs a web presence get in touch with me and I will be happy to help.

I am happy to announce that The Saskatchewan Valley News website has been launched to the public. The design of the site was inspired by the paper version of the weekly newspaper to provide a consistent look between the print version of the paper and the electronic version.

The website itself is powered by WordPress and allows The Saskatchewan Valley News staff to add new content weekly, edit existing pages and manage user subscriptions. The website also uses the Your Members Membership WordPress plugin by Cambridge New Media Services. The Your Members plugin allows The Saskatchewan Valley News to sell yearly subscriptions to readers using PayPal as the payment gateway. Members also have the option to purchase single copies of the newspaper every week.

The newspaper archive features PDF versions of the weekly newspaper for all of 2009. Paid subscribers can access all of the newspaper archive. Trial members can purchase the latest weekly issue and have access until the next issue comes out. Yearly subscriptions for the electronic version of the weekly newspaper are only $31.00/year and is a saving for those people that subscribe to the paper that live outside of the local area now. There is also the added benefit that delivery of the electronic version of the paper is as fast as a click to download the newest issue. No more waiting for Canada Post to deliver the paper a week after the publication date.

If you currently subscribe to the paper version of The Saskatchewan Valley News you can gain access to the electronic version as well. Contact the paper through email with your current subscription information and your account will be setup. It has been great working with the staff of The Saskatchewan Valley News to create their website. I look forward to working with them to add new features to the website and helping them make their website a success.

It has been awhile since I blogged about any of my clients so I thought it was about time that I highlighted one of my more recent web projects. Ontario Mortgage Online is one of my most recent web projects for Kimberly Lefebvre who is a mortgage broker in Ontario. When she got in touch with me about creating a new website and blog for her to help her promote her mortgage broker business in Ontario I was excited about the prospect of helping her with her project.

The site itself runs on WordPress and allows Kimberly to update the content of the pages easily. She is also able to run the blog herself and post new and interesting articles about buying houses, arranging your mortgage and the latest news in the housing and mortgage market in Ontario.

The domain name OntarioMortgageOnline.com was chosen to highlight Kimberly’s service area. She specializes in arranging mortgages in Ontario so if you are in the market for renewing or a new mortgage in Ontario, particularly in the Toronto area Kimberly would be glad to give you a hand. Having recently bought and sold a house and moved it is fresh in my mind how stressful it can be trying to find just the right house and arrange for a new mortgage and a mortgage broker can really help to let you concentrate on the many other details that need to be taken care of.

It has been a pleasure working with Kimberly on her website and blog and I look forward to working with her by giving her some search engine optimization tips, regular blog maintenance and watching as her site grows.

I don’t talk about my clients very often, but I recently finished doing a site upgrade for my friends over at Calow Networks and I wanted to write a little post about them. I have hired Calow Networks in the past to install networks and they do an outstanding job. The work is always done quickly, and more importantly done well. If you run a business and need network cabling installed Calow Networks should be the only number you call.

Redoing their website was a pleasure! Their original website was all done in flash. It looked not to bad, but it did not do so great in the search engines. Since we have updated the site to a tableless, CSS based design the search engines have been busy indexing the website and traffic has already been more steady. Google Analytics has also been installed so we can see how the site is doing better. There web hosts statistics program was less that stellar. It will be interesting to see how the site evolves over time.

I enjoy working with all of my clients and it was a pleasure to redo the Calow Networks website. If you live in or around Saskatoon and need some networking done or any other the other services they offer like a home theatre or whole home audio installed Calow Networks are the people you need to talk to. Ask for Mike and tell him Lee sent you.
