There are many things I fail to understand. One in which I fail constantly is having a business email like name@mycompany.com and not having a website! I should use caps and 3 exclamation marks were it not bad netiquette…
I can’t stress on this enough; all attempted professionalism that went into paying less than $10 for a domain name went down the drain once you agreed to exclude a site in the domain, or worse, include this:
big no-no
I’m sorry, ok, were biased… we make web pages; the following is my youngest sibling:
Seriously guys, don’t do this.
See? even a child agrees. Why you might ask?
Cause of a thing called web presence, large amounts of money go into protecting this, companies will often want/need extensive web presence in order to be available to their clients. Want to do a weird experiment? Google the top 10 advertising agencies in Puerto Rico and see what turns out. Really, they should be ashamed…
Many times you’ll notice headlines about how employers are more often each day using social community websites such as MySpace and Facebook to track employee sick days only to find binge demence-paloozas.
You thought your company was exempted from this? No, and hey I mean this in the most positive of ways. My brother and I have never gone into a meeting in which we do not have a clear scope of whom we’re meeting with. We’re not spies or anything it is common business to ask your associates and contacts about a certain someone. Being part of an industry involves your image, contacts, and proven expertise within it. Not knowing anything about someone only proves their lack of commitment or experience in an industry.
So… seriously people! I might end this in the cheesiest of ways: “Buy a website from us, this is our portfolio” but no. I’ll leave on a high note, there are other web-agencies in Puerto Rico (Nobox, Populicom) consider them too, but get a website.
