What Does Your Website Look Like on the iPhone, iPad or Smartphone?

Improving your website visitor’s experience through effective website design that works cross-platform and on a wide range of Internet devices, smartphones, iPhones and iPads.

Businesses today need to think about how their customers will use their website and respond to their customer’s needs.

Get your site converted for mobile devices and smartphonesNo one would argue that their prospects are checking them out online before doing business with them.  The problem (and opportunity)  is they are viewing your website through multiple devices and formats.

THINK or Go Wear a Paper Hat: Learned helplessness

Why do you suppose so many employees today have entitlement mentality and learned-helplessness?

I’m talking about the attitude that they think they are  irreplaceable,  indispensable and that they deserve to keep their job even with poor or lackluster performance.

I’m Ford Saeks and I’ve been self-employed most of my life.  That comes with its own pros and cons, but as any entrepreneur knows, you have to be self-motivated and surround yourself with quality, capable employees and then lead them well for success.  You also don’t go broke when you’re making a profit.

Every job or career is an opportunity for self-respect, to add value and earn money.   But let’s face it.
