1. Chris’s Blurb - Future Devlopments
Well it’s been a while since I last sent out the newsletter and am now looking forward to sending out the newsletter much more frequently!
As you may know it’s quite easy to get caught up simply being busy and with way too many projects.
For years I’ve been keeping my finger in my old industry as a finance consulting as I loved to get out and meet new people and simply get of the pc for a while. Of course the main problem with this is that you spread your self way to thin.

The About Page on Your Website - The Molecular Measure of Your Business Character
Good business means not being the most mysterious for your customers. Loyal customers need to have some idea of who you are and what makes you tick.
The About Us Page on your website is most likely the first place that they will look. You have an opportunity here to lay the foundation for an ongoing business relationship or to wreck the future of any business relationship.
The About Us page can double for a contact page with specific contact information. Regardless of warnings about Internet security, your customers are not all stalkers who shouldn’t know your address. More of them are people leary of someone operating solely in cyberspace. They feel more comfortable with a brick and mortar address to which they can snail mail some communication. They will learn more about your business culture by knowing your geographical location.
