BGW 2 – Reality Check
This is the second post in my series tentatively titled “Business Guide to Websites” where the goal is to help business owners & busy professionals better understand the hows & wherefores of getting a new website built. If you’ve not yet taken a look at the previous post, perhaps do that now (it just sets the tone for the overall thang though).
1. Buyer Terror & Websites
Not so long ago we had to buy a new car. Not new new, a second hand one. This filled me with terror for two key reasons:

A Thankyou to 2011
2011 has been a good year here in Jojet Towers. I’d love to say that was down to my meticulous planning but, in truth, this was more the coming to gather of a lot of hard graft as well as (probably) a little bit of luck; not that I’m complaining! I have taken stock from how 2011 simply roared by and I will be setting down concrete goals and planning for 2012 (as I don’t want to be saying the same thing this time next year!).

Keeping your website content fresh
This article is part of the guest post series. It’s author is Ali Turnbull, web content editor and strategist (see bottom of post for contact details).
Keep it fresh
What’s lurking in your salad drawer? Yesterday I rescued an elderly tomato, and once I’d cut off the white furry bits it was fine for soup. I should have eaten it without the furry bits, before the newer, fresher ones that called out to me from the front of the fridge.
Many people treat their websites like fridges. So concerned are they with how the site looks at the front end that they rarely take stock of what lurks beneath.
Seeding Facebook Pages
I deal with a lot of clients who are finding their feet with social media; they’ve used platforms like Facebook personally but never for business – it’s a frightening new world for them.
One problem is that, whilst they have managed to create a Facebook Page (which is a wise choice as it’s typically a better option than promoting solely via your Facebook Personal profile), they are completely clueless as to what to do next. How do you get some traction on the Page?
