Website Redesign for Seattle Executives Association Now Online!

5月

12日

Recently we released an updated design to the Seattle Executives Association’s website. It had been a number of years since their website’s design had last been updated and they were looking for a modern design. Any time we look to help customers redesign their website we put a lot of thought into the decisions we make both in design and the end user’s experience with the website.

 At the beginning of this process, we spoke with the SEA team to discuss their goals with the website beyond the visual refresh. Web browsers have become more powerful and new design trends have emerged since the last time their website’s look and feel had last been updated.

One of their goals was to make it easy for people to find the businesses they need so our Developers upgraded the search feature on the Member Directory to pick up additional keywords. We also added a new feature allowing members to add their social media icons to their member profile page. This enhancement provides website visitors with the ability to connect with businesses through social media and increases the chances of being picked up by search engines such as Google.

When it came to the visual design we added a video banner to the home page to draw the website visitor’s attention. The ability to add video has become a powerful trend as it is more visually engaging than images, can convey a lot of information, and can add a more personal touch than plain text.

Throughout the site, we selected photos from the client’s library to break up large sections of text and to showcase the professional and fun networking style that SEA brings to their weekly meetings. We also used Seattle imagery and a color palette that best represented the Seattle Executives Association to members and visitors of all types.

It was a pleasure to work with the team at Seattle Executives Association to help deliver a website that not only looked beautiful but met their goals in what they wanted out of their website!

Learning Japanese-Online

5月

1日

Vol. 09

Back in the mid 90’s we were publishing software products enabling non-Japanese Windows PC’s to display and input Japanese characters called KanjiKit and KanjiWORD. It was used by a variety of people outside of Japan. Nowadays, there is no need for you to buy a Japanese version of Windows to display and input Japanese.

As an extension of that service, we started Japanese-Online.com on November 11th, 1996. Yes, this site has been in operation for the last 24 years. It has been revised many times in the past but for the last few years, it had not been updated, and as a result subscriptions went down.

Recently, we started updating, modernizing, and reviving the website. We are now collaborating with a company in Japan to resell Japanese learning video lessons. If you have time please take a look at the site. We also have a blog using Bloguru, another service of PSPinc, to post Japanese related information.

Additionally, we have been broadcasting weekly newsletters. In these newsletters we talk about a wide range of topics including Japanese language, expressions, culture, food, unique items, etc. You can sign up to the JOL newsletter for free by visiting Japanese-Online.com. Please let us know if you have a topic that you would like to see in our newsletters. We would be happy to hear your suggestions!

Simple Data Pool free beta access available now!

4月

25日

In one of our recent newsletters, we provided some information on a new service we were preparing to launch called Simple Data Pool.

This service is an upgraded version of our existing storage and backup platform. It allows you to securely store, share, collaborate, and backup all kinds of files. With Simple Data Pool we are running on state-of-the-art hardware and offer 10 times the storage of our previous system with prices starting at $99 annually.

In a time where remote work has become more common, having a tool that assists with file sharing and data collaboration is more important than ever. This is why we have been hard at work to get Simple Data Pool online and in the hands of those who could benefit from it the most.

We are happy to announce that Simple Data Pool has launched a closed beta. What this means is we are currently offering limited free beta accounts* with 100GB of storage space to a lucky few who want to use the early release version of the system.

We have 30 closed beta accounts available so access is extremely limited. If you are interested in testing Simple Data Pool for free you can call us toll-free 1-800-232-3989 or sign up for the beta over at SimpleDataPool.com.

* Free access is available for the duration of the beta trial program.

Simple Data Pool / New Product

4月

24日

Vol. 08

We are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and many of us are forced to work remotely from our homes. In this current climate we need to work differently than the way we used to. We are a datacenter and server operation company, so we have plenty of storage space to share files. However, I imagine our customers may be having difficulties managing and sharing files.

We have dedicated a portion of our storage capacity for people to share within their company. This service has been available for years and we are charging $99 for 10GB of storage. We have now increased the capacity by 10 times to 100GB of space for $99. This storage space can be upgraded to 1TB and is the best option available with complete and personalized customer support.

Being such a versatile solution, with account access you can backup and share any type of file. You can use it as an offsite backup, it is all up to you and your company’s needs. For more information, please call us or visit https://www.simpledatapool.com

Please be advised that the system may not be ready as we are currently testing this storage application. If you are interested in becoming a test user, please contact me. I have a limited number of users who can use the system for a free evaluation period.

It’s Time to Think Recovery

4月

17日

Vol. 07

We are in the middle of the fight with COVID-19 and the news outlets are very depressing. All companies are trying to weather this storm. We are hoping that somehow this pandemic will go away soon just like a Hollywood movie. The reality is, we may be dealing with this for a long time and our lives must adjust to this new normal. What is happening in places like Italy and France is people are getting tired of the “Stay-Home” order and are starting to move around. This will happen in the US as well, we are not as patient as we would like to be.

As business owners and managers, you have to adjust to this new reality soon. Yes, this thing will be over in one way or another. When it is over, companies that prepared for recovery now will have a better chance to excel.

Person-to-person contact is out of the question right now, so you need to update your website. Since you have more time now, learning how to build your website is not a bad option. I am not asking you to go out and buy a book to learn how to create a website. I am asking you to take a look at easy tools to create or update your website. Replacing a few pictures and changing the copyright notice from 2012 to 2020 are good starting points.

You can update your corporate history or product information. Contact information is also important to maintain. You can also check to see if your website is mobile device ready. Nowadays, more people are looking at your website from their cellular phones. Oh, for restaurant owners, did you change your operating hours? Do you provide “Pickup” and “Delivery” services? Do you have special menus? Did you contact businesses near you to let them know you are open?

These are simple changes that you can make to your website. People won’t know you are open if you don’t tell them you are open, they will assume you are closed … that is the new normal. By the way, our company is open for business taking care of your web and email. If you call, we will pick up the phone. Stay healthy and connected virtually.
