Great Expectations...

Like our last post about social media managers, we've updated and republished this article about how much you can expect to pay for Internet Marketing Greatness. 

The ONE THING you can take away from this article is that most businesses are asking the wrong question when it comes to upgrading or creating a website. It's like asking how much a new car costs. The answer is that frustrating phrase: "It depends..." While they do the same things, a brand new Bentley is going to set you back more than a 20-year-old Chevy. 

United WebWorks has an extremely firm grasp on the goal of helping businesses gain more revenue by helping them apply the latest online technologies available. A website and all that comes with it is actually secondary to an overall plan to market themselves better than their competition. 

That said, A website is central part of that plan. So let's begin there.

It's a hard fact of life that you get what you pay for. Websites can be stinky in so many ways! Things don't always go smoothly or make much of a splash when you push hard for it. Is it possible to know if you are getting something solid for your time and effort or just a lot of hot air?

Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic's website needed resuscitation.

United WebWorks came to the rescue with a custom site tailored to the needs of this hardworking animal hospital in Bluffton, SC. After a series of meetings with the staff at Buckwalter Veterinary Clinic, we presented them with a site plan designed to boost their lead acquisition and improve their ability to edit content from their office without having to go through a third-party developer.

Who doesn't love a free sample? We sure do. Those tiny paper cups of fancy coffee, broken cookie pieces and teryaki chicken on a toothpick- YES! Our readers have also voted yes to free samples and so...

We're bringing this blog entry back! The following post was published back in September of 2014 and it's still one of our most-visited pages. Social Media has only increased in importance in the last three years and we don't want our fans to miss out on the incredible opportunities that await them on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat and all the rest. 

We've added some updates and refreshed all the stale information to bring this article back to fighting trim. Enjoy! And make sure you grab your copy of the sample Job Description for a social media manager, even if you aren't hiring one, it will help any marketer get a sense of what's involved in navigating social channels of content. Here is a link to the free job description if you want a TLDR.

We’re suckers for The Latest Trend, aren’t we?

If you didn’t have a “Baby on Board” caution sign in your car window, you probably had a MySpace profile, could be seen performing the “Running Man” dance maneuver or participated in an ice bucket challenge. Fads come and go about as rapidly as snow in the desert.

One of the hottest trends on business websites is video marketing. Predictions anticipate that it will continue to be the fastest-growing feature on mobile and desktop computers for at least the next three years. The percentage global consumer internet traffic that is video-related will grow, estimates a Cisco white paper, from 70 percent in 2015 to 82 percent by 2020.

The thing is, it might not be a hot trend at all. Videos on business websites look like they’re going to become a permanent feature of the online landscape, like blue jeans or air conditioning in your car.

The Polk name should sound familiar to aficionados of presidential history. Tasker Polk is indeed a descendant of President James K. Polk’s brother and is as accomplished as his distinguished ancestor. It’s not every day we get to design and build a website for musicians, so it was fun for us to meet with him to find out what he wanted to do with his online presence.

Tasker Polk is a pianist of international reputation having performed all over the globe. A word of mouth referral led Tasker to United WebWorks, so we’re the lucky digital marketing group to publish his website.
