Around the Town: Visit to Restoration Homestead
By Loretta Humble/Around the Town
Some members of a very lovely family came to visit Cedar Lake Nursing Home a couple of weeks ago. They invited us to visit them at their home. Last week my friend John and I did just that. We loved what we saw. I wanted to tell you about them, and since they have an excellent website, I went to it to make sure I got my details right. When I read their “About Us” section, I found it so beautiful, I decided to let them tell you about themselves. They are the Muriko family, Bill and Robin, their three grown sons, barely-teenage daughter, one daughter-in-law, two grandsons. I believe one mother-in-law will be joining them soon. We fell in love with them all. You will probably be reading more about them here as time goes by.
Here is their story, in their own words: Continue reading “Around the Town: Visit to Restoration Homestead”

Malakoff ISD Unveils New Website
Malakoff ISD has a new look online. The school district rolled out a new website last week.
The new website is cleaner and easier to navigate — at least it is in my opinion — and it is responsive, meaning it automatically scales to mobile devices. I wonder if they will consider implementing ecommerce customer service into their website somewhere down the line? Also while ensuring that the website is hosted by a secure and consistent web hosting service. All monitored and control thanks to the 24/7 VPS customer support from hostiserver.com, so there should never be any issues that can’t be dealt with immediately! This is a really important step for anyone planning on starting a new website. Without a good web hosting provider, you might find that you site lacks in certain areas. If you are interested in using a web hosting company then you can check out this best web hosting canada reviews here to give you a better idea of what to look for. Having a clear idea of what you want your web site to accomplish is important in finding the right Web design agency. These goals will allow you to better focus on the characteristics and individual qualities that each web design agency is capable of. Basically, there are four objectives that designing a web site can accomplish in basic business. The right web design agency will help you accomplish all these objectives by introducing your products to new markets and increasing the awareness of the product. A design agency should also reduce the amount of paperwork and help you gain new customers while retaining the old ones. Take the time to outline your philosophy and goals with the agency. This will ensure that the site reflects your business in the quickest amount of time. You can check this informative post for the #1 Rated Web Design Agency in Ottawa. It is probable that the web design agency will achieve all of the goals but planning your web site with clear objectives will show you which goal should be of most importance. As this may change, so will your web design. After determining the main objective of your web site, your goal should be finding the right web design agency that will help you obtain this goal. As time goes on you may or may not choose the same web design agency. Goals will change, as will the design needs of your web sites. It may be beneficial to utilize the web design agencies with the most experience with the certain part of web design that you are trying to obtain. Whichever web design agency you choose, having clear objective and goals will make the web design process go a lot more smooth. The exact details of the web design might not be known but that is why your are hiring a design agency to aid you with the task. The web design company’s qualifications, designations and experience – a long standing company has earned its reputation by longevity which is a fairly good indicator of skill and the stability of the enterprise. It also translates into sound design work and reputation for excellent customer service. This is very important because several start-ups die out leaving an organization flustered when looking for upgrades and maintenance. Any agency with fair amount of experience, client interaction and sound qualifications is worth a try. Some companies just forget the importance of customer service and that’s exactly where they fail. We always recommend using services like the ones Salesforce offers, in order to keep up with your customers.
“We just felt like it needed to be updated with a fresh look,” said Superintendent Randy Perry. Continue reading “Malakoff ISD Unveils New Website”
