By Tim Priebe on July 9, 2010 at 8:00 am in General, Workshops

Websitepalooza

talkingheadIt’s that time again. On July 22nd, just one hour can get you a website for hundreds of dollars less than it normally costs. Quick, easy and affordable.

Have the pros here at T&S set up a basic ten page website, select and register a domain name, and host your site for one year. The only cost after the initial year will be for continued hosting.

This is half the price of our starter sites! There are a limited number of time-slots available. Once the slots are filled, you’ll have to wait until the next Websitepalooza, and who knows when that will happen?

Check out all the Websitepalooza details.

Websitepalooza: Part Deux

Fun Fridays in 2010

By Tim Priebe on June 19, 2010 at 10:50 am in General

It’s summertime again*, which has meant more Fun Fridays for us here at T&S. That means that everyone takes a couple hours for lunch (one paid), and partakes in some fun activity. And if they don’t have fun, they have to fake it.

Here’s the breakdown on what we’ve done so far this summer.

May 7

We kicked off the Fun Fridays of 2010 with an couple hours of playing Wii at my house. Bowling was the game of choice. I’m not sure who came in first, but I assume it was myself. Look at how professionally I’m sitting there.

May 14

For the second week, we ordered the setup from a local Mexican food place, Ted’s, and played cards. Or a dice game. Maybe both. I can’t remember for sure, and as near as I can tell, no photographic evidence of either exists, just of the food.

But I do remember that Ted’s was delicious.

Next up was Taco Bueno on a nearly abandoned Oklahoma Christian University campus, followed quickly by several games of Bocce Ball. We also invented a new version of Bocce Ball where everyone throws at once. It was all you are imagining it could be.

May 28

This week we hit up a bunch of garage sales. No great finds, unfortunately. Last year we had an employee find an iPod, and I found an old iMac my kiddos now use. No such luck this year.

June 4

This time we watched Twilight. Well, we watched it with the appropriate RiffTrax in place. Not sure we could have watched it by itself. I’d never heard of RiffTrax. What you do is start your movie, and sync up their audio file with the movie. Then Michael J. Nelson, star of Mystery Science Theater 3000, provides hilarious commentary on your movie.

Too funny!

June 11

We followed up last weeks viewing of Twilight with Twilight: New Moon. Again with RiffTrax, of course. Spoiler: It’s actually the same moon you’ve seen all your life. What a rip-off.

June 18

Adam in front of Toy Story 3 PosterHooray, Toy Story 3! Four of us were able to go see the great movie the day it came out. We also found out you can not take outside food or drinks into AMC.

Side story: I actually scored a free deluxe spicy chicken sandwich from Chik-fil-a in the food court at Quail Springs Mall. I ordered the cheaper sandwich, and they told me I could upgrade it for free, offer good that day only. I naturally accepted. Then the assistant marketing director tried to ring me up, a job which she apparently does not normally perform. Great confusion set in with operating the cash register, and she finally gave up and gave me my sandwich for free.

True story.

* While not technically summer, our college-age interns are on summer break. So there.

Google Names T&S Web Design a Favorite Place

By Tim Priebe on December 16, 2009 at 5:07 pm in General, Search Engine Optimization

We're a Favorite Place on Google

We’ve long thought of T&S as our favorite place. It looks like Google agrees with us. Well, Google users, anyway.

Google recently sent us a small package with a decal and letter in it to let us know that we’ve been selected as a Favorite Place on Google. Apparently less than 1% of the businesses in the United States were selected, based largely on their popularity on Google results.

Here’s how Google describes it on their FAQ page on the topic:

The list was determined based on the popularity of a business’ Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users “decided” based on their actions, and we sent the decals.

…

Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.

We're a Favorite Place on Google with BarcodeVery cool! The decal actually has a QR barcode pointing to our Google Business Listing.

Interested in an enhanced Google Business Listing for your business? We actually provide that as part of our SEO services. Contact us if you’re interested in knowing more.
