read moreCharity Website Redesign – Freedom Fire!
Back in November we announced that we’d be starting our first free website for charity. After hearing from several great causes, we decided to work with a wonderful cause right here in Kansas City: Freedom Fire Urban Ministries. The work this group is doing ministering to the underprivileged kids in the heart of downtown is really inspiring. Their website, however, is not: According to one member of their team, some volunteers refuse to tell people they even have a website because they feel like it just isn’t capturing the...

A page title as simple as “About Us” can end up looking like the labyrinthine mess: “About ABC Widgets – Blue Widgets, Red Widgets, Yellow Widget …” for SEO purposes. It’s effective though (just look at any first page of Google results), so what if Google rules suddenly spread out into the real world? Let’s analyze this week’s slate of movie releases as if their titles were their SEO title...
read moreHoliday Gift Idea: Charitable Giving Cards
Is anyone else disgusted by the consumer culture that has taken over the holiday season? Let’s review some of the highlights: First, Acura invites you to “over-save,” rather than over-spend, at their “Season of Reason” sales event. Because when I think of over-saving, I immediately think of the $47,000 Acura RL. Target, and many other retailers, have made Thanksgiving into Black Friday Eve. Their ad campaign shows a shopper training hard for Black Friday shopping. They also required all store employees to report...
