With the advance of technology, the growth of the smart phone and introduction of the mobile tablet, there has been an unbelievable explosion in growth of mobile device sales and usage. Currently, we are on pace to more than double the number of global smartphone users from 2010-2013. These statistics also do not take into account the ever-growing tablet market which by 2013 is expected to make up nearly 21% of the mobile market. It's time to embrace the mobile market and see it as an opportunity for business growth.

The beginning of a new year always brings self analysis and the diligent efforts to be better, brighter (and maybe even richer) than ever before. The intentions are always exceptional although usually fall short of completion. Why, you might ask? It is usually because you lack a good plan of action.

When was the last time you *really* looked at your website? Is it getting old and out of shape? Are the wrinkles showing? Maybe it's time to call in a personal trainer. That is where Brandesigns can help you; with your website anyway.

Take some time and review your current website and see if it's in shape and living up to you and your visitors' expectations. Are your guests seeing your online presence as beautifully as that reflection in the mirror? Here are some ideas for that beloved self-analysis:

1. Is it clean? Very few people like clutter. Do you have a hodgepodge of information scattered throughout your site? This would include different fonts, different color schemes and hard to find information. Really, it's like wearing purple plaid with green stripes and bell bottom jeans that barely cover your ankles. It's not very flattering for that new image you want to portray. Simplify your site, clean out the old and tidy up a bit.
2. Is it telling your story? Does your website accurately tell who you are today? We and our websites can "grow old" gracefully. Keep your 'about' page and contact information up-to-date and precise. Make certain your guests can find out more about you, what you have to offer and how to get in touch with you in a quick and easy manner. You never know who that next connection might be! 
3. Is it modern and engaging? Have you ever visited a website where the last post or information update was made two years ago? Social media and blogs can drive new prospects to your site, but dusty, passé connections don't send a good message. Make a decision to either kick that social media connection back into gear -- posting at least once a month -- or get rid of it. 
4. What is your image through the looking glass? How do your visitors see you in those tight jeans? Let's face it; the time is NOW to have a mobile web presence. Clunky, heavy desktop websites just don't look very good in those small mobile devices. This might be a good time for that make-over.

It's time to have a serious talk with your website personal trainer today. We really do care how you look in the eyes of your visitors. How can we help you with that total make-over or face-lift?

Brandesigns is proud to announce the launch of Drahota's completely new Drahota.com website, where--among things--viewers can view project portfolios and meet the teams that contribute to this Northern Colorado construction company's success.

"It's all looking great! We love it."

The new site features easy-to-access news, project information, team information and a simple click to connect to the new Drahota Facebook site. Brandesigns worked with their team to develop the new website based on the Joomla! CMS Platform. They have constant updates to be performed to their website with press releases, news and project updates. The Joomla CMS will allow them to perform updates in a quick and easy fashion.

I recently have had the privilege of doing some remodeling to my house. As with any remodeling or building project, whether it is on a structural building or an online website, the key is having the right tools for the job; it makes sense and it makes the process much easier.

The websites we develop here at Brandesigns have the tools necessary to keep your website fresh, up-to-date, visually appealing and functional. Using Joomla and WordPress platforms, we keep content management upfront and center. Utilizing tools such as plug-ins, components and modules, our design structure can be easily extendible to accommodate even the most elaborate of website content needs.

We provide customized templates that "automatically" send mobile users to a mobile version of your website. We provide tools that allow you to make a blog post that is automatically posted to your Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn accounts and more. This removes the need for spending valuable time at your computer making double or triple posts to all of your social media accounts.

If you are considering a new website, or a website remodel, contact us today for a competitive bid to propel you into 2012 and beyond. We can provide you with all the right tools to make maintaining your website as easy as flipping a switch!

Web design is not only about beauty; more importantly, it is about function. Several elements of the web development process must come together to forge a spectacular web presence: an easily manageable website, harmonious color schemes, intuitive design, easy navigation and browser adaptability. Additionally, you can never under-estimate the power of simplicity.

In an effort to have a more efficient website where we can communicate with our clients and fans, Joomla! and it’s highly extensible CMS fits the bill. We will continually be updating the features of our new site as time permits, so be sure to check back often!
