Web 2.0 – It’s about REALLY connecting

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:11:54 +0000

Web 2.0 is a huge buzz-phrase among web developers, hosts, and designers these days. To the naked eye it presents some pretty cool stuff … one of the most obvious components to come along with the Web 2.0 movement is a software library called jQuery, which provides most of those newer effects you see on web pages with sections fading in and out, sliding up and down, immediate error & help messages if you don’t fill in part of a form properly, and quite a few others. jQuery also does some less obvious things which brings us to the HEART of Web 2.0 … servers from different websites sharing information in real time so hundreds or thousands of websites can be kept up-to-date ‘hands free’ through interaction every time a site visitor loads a page or a site owner changes their content.

Web 2.0 is powerful stuff. We like it, we use it a lot between AgilityEvents.net, Click-2-Run.com, and our clients’ sites. It saves countless hours of work for our clients and provides a better user experience for site visitors. Whenever possible we’re employing Web 2.0 technologies in our clients’ sites … definitely keeping them well ahead of what any Do-it-Yourself site could ever produce!

Dynamic Event Calendar Feed

Anyone who has ever tried to keep their website up to date with event info knows just how quickly this chore “gets old”. Sometimes that’s due to the sheer number of events you’re tracking, but more often it becomes quite tedious because of the WAY that the info is stored.

If your site’s event calendar is not being kept in a database, you’re working WAY too hard. That’s why more clubs and instructors are taking their event feed from AgilityEvents.net, North America’s most comprehensive online calendar of Canine Agility events!

Just a single line of code will put our calendar on your site – CUSTOMIZED so the info you want is presented like it belongs there!

Tired of fiddling with text sizes, html tags, and manually updating the website to keep info timely? Let our database do the work FOR you!

Anti Virus – Really?

Well if this isn’t amusing, frustrating, and telling all at once, I can’t think of what would be.

For the past week I have been dutifully attempting to remove a virus from my office PC. A virus that SHOULD have been prevented by Webroot Anti-Virus with Anti-Spyware, but wasn’t.

After over 2 hours on hold between three calls to ‘Customer non-service’ and several attempts to follow through with information Webroot has requested … this is the screen I see at the conclusion of a full system sweep.

(For those who may not recognize the irony here – the grey popup box came up at the end of the sweep and shows an error caused by the virus which still resides in my system.)

What can we learn from this? The moral to the story is (from my experience) Webroot’s products may APPEAR to be a value, but probably not worth the investment since I was looking for real antivirus and antispyware protection. Not a pretty box with a CD and a phone number to nowhere.

If you’re the “hands on” type or if you are fortunate enough to have a reliable volunteer with the skills to design and maintain a site, then all you need is absolutely reliable hardware to host your site and a connection to the internet that will never let go.

We can do that for you! State of the art hardware, a fully redundant communications backbone, multiple power sources, security like a brick wall (in fact, all the walls ARE brick!), and a 100% up-time guarantee from the 24/7 support staff. It doesn’t get better than this. MySQL, php, ASP.NET, Coldfusion … they’re all supported at a reasonable monthly fee.

Looking for a place to call home? Problems with your current host? Contact us and we’ll get you online … and KEEP you online!

Website Design & Maintenance

The foundation of our business, we provide website design and “upkeep” for Agility Clubs, Trainers, and Breeders across North America. We don’t focus on implementing every last bit of the latest and greatest technology in a site. Instead we find out what our client expects the site to do (”What’s your goal?”), then use the appropriate tools to get the job done effectively, efficiently, and in a way that will be easy to update and maintain in the future.

Check out the Client sites listed along the side of this page … they each have a unique design to meet the needs of the site owner.

What can we do for you? Contact us and we’ll get you started!
