What is Creativity?

[wow_h3]Hey everybody! Did you know there is another “C” word out there besides “cancer”? [wow_colorme]It’s called CREATIVITY![/wow_colorme] [/wow_h3]
[/wow_lead]
And much like the disease, [wow_colorme]creativity[/wow_colorme] can spread through your body and make a statement about you as a person or organization. I’m always amazed when I come across something that blows the creative lid off the pot and gets me thinking. I actually came across the video below by accident while I was researching a musical artist (Jef Stott). If you need an injection of visual and audio bliss, take a few minutes to watch and listen to this remarkable video.

When you are shopping for a new car, how many of you would prefer to order a vehicle with everything you want on it or just take what’s available at the dealer’s lot?[/wow_h4] And when you’re cooking a nice meal, do you like to add spices, herbs, etc. to make it tastier or simply add the basic ingredients and eat a tasteless meal?

This is the same thinking you should put into choosing the company you hire to build your online presence – your web site! Let’s face it; there are tons of choices out there when it comes to web designers and web design companies. Many of them are good and many of them are not.
[highlight]You can have 2 different web designers working on the same base web theme and come out with 2 completely different looking and functioning web sites.[/highlight] Much like the options on a car and the spices in your recipe, it all comes down to creativity and if the company or freelance web designer you hire is willing to go the extra mile to ensure your site is unique and exceeds your expectations.
[wow_fancybox1 title=”The goal at Studio 544 is to exceed your expectations!” icon=”star” hidelink=”yes”]
I deliver a professional web site to you at an affordable price while starting a lasting working relationship with you or your organization. [wow_colorme]There is a reason why many of Studio 544’s clients come from referrals of existing clients.[/wow_colorme]

To Blog Or Not To Blog

Basic Blogging Principles

This question came up today with one of my clients and I have found the answer to be pretty straight forward.
[wow_panel1]
If you have something worth writing about and are willing to take the time to write about it on a regular basis, go for it. If not, what’s the point?
[/wow_panel1]

I have come across so many websites over the years with blog elements on them and am always amazed at how many of them will include 1 or 2 posts a year. Really? I have been guilty about not keeping up with my own Studio 544 blog. Let’s face it. We get busy. Our clients’ projects take precedence over our own and before you know it, months have past without any new postings.
If you’ve made the decision to start a blog or add a blog to your web site, it’s very important to dedicate some time on a regular basis to write your posts and articles that will want people to keep coming back for more.
With that being said, the second point I always make to my clients is if you really want a blog, make sure you have something interesting to write about. Here is a great guide to get you started on your blog: How to write and create great blog content.
[important title=”Basic Blogging Principles”]
Following these two basic principles can help make your blog more successful and in theory help to drive more traffic to your web site.

Pay Per Click Advertising

Studio 544 — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 18:07:46 +0000

Is pay per click advertising right for you? Many of my clients ask me about this at one point or another regarding the promotion of their web site, business and services. The short answer is “It all depends.” I know this may sound vague but you need to ask yourself some basic questions before jumping into pay per click advertising.

Are pay per click ads right for you?

Do I have something special to promote or sell? It’s been my experience over the years that using pay per click advertising to promote a special offer or sale typically works better than using it to simply promote your business in general.
Do you have a budget set for your ads? It’s important to have an idea about how much the keywords you want to bid on with your ads will cost. Some keywords are more affordable than others and that discount coupon you may have received in the mail from Google Ad Words can be used up pretty quickly if your keywords are commanding some seriously high bids for decent placement.
Do you have the time and knowledge necessary to set up and monitor your ad campaigns? This is where talking with a professional web company or freelance web designer like Studio 544 comes in. A proper ad campaign requires frequent tweaking and adjusting to ensure you are getting the most for your ad budget. With over 10 years of experience in setting up and administering pay per click ad campaigns on both Google and the Bing/Yahoo network, I can take the anxiety out of this for you.

Take advantage of the reports and stats available to you. This is really the best way to analyze your campaign’s performance. I go over all of these points with my clients and encourage them to ask questions and contribute their input. After all, they know their business better than I do so I rely on them in the beginning set up stages to think carefully about what they think will entice someone searching for them online to “take the bait”.

Studio 544 can help generate more traffic to your web sites through the use of pay per click advertising but once they click, it’s up to the content of the site and the quality of the offer that will determine whether or not the site visitor will be converted into a paying customer.
