Yesterday morning we awoke just before 5am to the house shaking and it was not a familiar train-going-by shake. Being from Snohomish Washington, I am somewhat familiar with the feeling of an earthquake (been through a few in my life) and it wasn’t something that would stop Indiana Web Design in its tracks. But, it was unusual to feel an earthquake in the Midwest and especially to feel one from so far away. It was merely tremors and didn’t really effect the normal day-to-day tasks of Goshen Indiana Web Design, but was eventful none-the-less. It seems like predictions for a northern and southern California are for a catastrophic quake sometime in the future. Hopefully not when any website design conferences like the Adobe Edge or Mac Conference or something that when web design studios from Indiana and all around the country will be in attendance – what would the web do then?

Indiana Web Design Astonished at Wii Success
Nintendo Wii has dominated the newest gaming systems in sheer volume. But this, as Indiana Web Design stops for a moment to gawk at their success, is far beyond amazing. This past month Nintendo sold more of its Wii gaming system than Microsoft and Sony – COMBINED SALES! The folks at Nintendo are genius and I don’t think they even anticipated such a market for the Wii. But, putting ingenuity and creativity together with a little risk and you have yourself a very successful merger. Indiana Web Design is similar in many ways. We love to work with clients that think outside the cookie cutter box. We also work within parameters for certain clients, but we really enjoy those creative, innovative web design projects that send our creativity to the outer limits and push ourselves to take professional, creative and innovative – throw it into a big blender and begin something unique and intentional for our clients. Learn more about Indiana Web Design from Goshen Indiana Web Design Studio.

Google rankings vanish
There is nothing more frustrating than working very diligently to reach good search engine results only to wake up one morning and find that you have completely disappeared from your standings in all keyword searches. The first thought is, “Oh CRAP!” and that is quickly followed by a “WHAT THE HECK DID I DO WRONG?” After taking time to double check your Indiana Web Design for anything Google would frown upon, you hope that maybe it was a fluke. That Google rejiggered some settings and that you will come back in a few days. Once post I read mentioned that Google may have attempted to access your site to index it while your server was down or upgrading (which what are the chances of that happening) – but it did to me last week. I was enjoying top rankings – in the top 3 for my local keywords and within the top 20 for statewide and last week simply disappeared from the top 100 altogether. The Indiana Web Design pages are still indexed and you can still find them on Google, but just nowhere for the keywords I was once ranked for. In doing some research I found there could be a multitude of reasons why this has happened. Here are a few:
- Google was indexing my Indiana Web Design website and the server process was interrupted – either the server was down or in the middle of updating a file(s) or under maintenance.
- I have a Google Penalty against my website (finding out what that is has turned out to be quite the challenge – if in fact there even is one.
- Google has updated it’s method of indexing and things will return to normal in a few days.
All these are options that could have effected my website – but determining which one it is has been frustrating and incredibly challenging. I do hope it returns or I will be in some trouble. Although the research has been good – not at the most opportune time for me with my project list, but still good to know. I have found a great resource for such problems with this post (there are many great posts and I have read many in the past few days).
Indiana Web Design, SEO and Web Development
What a beautiful day in Northern Indiana for web design and SEO. The sun has finally decided to come out, well at least in Goshen, Indiana and we are looking forward to another day full of web design, web development and Indiana SEO. Not sure what SEO is? SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and it is the process of assisting websites in getting the attention of search engines. It is an ever changing industry which is full of pretenders and “get rich quick” schemes. Much like any industry, there are individuals who prey on the ignorance of others and offer quick results and high traffic. These scams are giving SEO companies a bad wrap and leaving website owners frustrated and confused. We highly discourage doing business with a company that claims to be able to improve your website traffic “over night.” These companies utilize unethical means of providing phantom visitors to a website – which would appear that traffic is flying in, but in effect it is not qualified traffic at all – not even web users that are even remotely interested in your products or services.
SEO is an art and it take time, effort and dedication. We have been working SEO seriously on our Indiana website for the past 4 months and have achieved great results. Take a moment to visit Google.com and search for Goshen Indiana Web Design or Goshen Indiana SEO – you will find our Indiana Web Design website within the top 5 of all Goshen Indiana Web searches. And we are making great headway within the Indiana State and Northern Midwest Region Web Design rankings too.

Safari releases new version – promotes the fastest web browser in the world
Speed for Indiana Web Design is always important. How quickly websites load is essential when creating web pages. And yesterdays release of the new and improved Safari web browser from Apple is great news. Not only does it render pages correctly (unlike it’s grossly overrated competition – IE), it will display the pages at the quickest speed known to the internet. If only we could get the masses to use Safari or FireFox instead of that other inferior browser. Although, on that note, Indiana web development firms are happy to hear Microsoft make a complete 180 with IE8. they are now promoting (who knows how long this will last until they change their minds again) – but for now, they are promoting that IE8 will default to standards compliant mode. And there was much rejoicing, especially from Indiana Web Design | Michigan Web Design Studios and Indiana web development | Michigan web development firms. The thought of a standards compliant IE is, well, almost unbelievable. So, if users could make the switch and leave IE5, IE6 & IE7 in the shoebox that never gets opened, that would make our lives great – Indiana web design would breath a quick sigh of relief and hope for a brighter future.
The March of the Web Developers
We just got done watching the march of the penguins. We were told that this would be a great movie for our kids – well, lets just say we were bombarded with questions. Why are they acting like that? What are they doing? What is mating? All of which we dodged like pros. A little to young to discuss the reproduction of the animal kingdom. It struck me very interesting as we were being bombarded by questions that we deal with similar questions from Indiana Web Development clients – well not exactly. They are not asking about the bizarre reproduction of the penguins, it is more about the ins and outs of web development. What makes a webiste effective? How is Indiana Web Development Studio | McGlinchy Media & Design, llc different from every other web development firm? What steps should I take to ensure my site is effective? What is SEO and how can it help my website? And many more questions.
If you are asking some of these questions, not the questions related to watching the march of the penguins, but questions about Indiana Web Design, Indiana Web Development and Indiana SEO – give us a call today!
Oregon Chai is a great sub for Indiana Web Design
When there is no Tully’s Coffee shop or Starbucks available – a good substitute while working on an Indiana Web Design project is Oregon Chai. It’s a nice blend of spices and flavor – kind of like good Indiana Web Design and Indiana Web Development. Having a good blend of components creates a quality product. Other Chai companies try to accomplish the same mixture that Oregon Chai has perfected, but cannot compare to the real thing. Its like going to a small coffee shop, you never know what the quality of coffee is or the knowledge of the barista is sub-par and you get a sub-par beverage. That is very similar to web design in Indiana – there are sub-par, if you don’t know any better you will think its great – until you taste a drink made by a knowledgeable barista and you have the experience that you were intended to have when you drink espresso. So, make sure you test the knowledge of your Indiana Web Design firm just the same as you would your local barista – it could effect your entire experience.
