Always take the opportunity to be a guest writer on an associate’s blog, even if his business has little cross-over with yours. Guest blogging is a great opportunity for increased exposure, especially when you’re new to town as I was last year. Dave Gaffin of Green Park Mortgage in Framingham is an avid user and believer in social media. He is a senior loan officer with Green Park Mortgage Corporation and from I hear is an excellent advisor and administrator of loans in this area and around the state. His blog, “The Massachusetts Mortgage Blog” (great name!) is growing in popularity. So read on what I had to say and be thinking where you can add your two cents!
New Homeowner Services – First in a Series – Website Design for Relocating Business and Families
Posted: 17 May 2011 06:49 PM PDT
As spring is one of the busiest times of the year for people moving into the Massachusetts area, I thought I would ask some local experts their advice on making the transition an easier one for relocating families and perhaps their businesses. With that in mind, I have asked Deb Perugi of Perugi Design to give the small business owner who may have moved to the area some advice on websites and social media and how to update them.Here are some of Deb’s thoughts:
Welcome to Suburbia!If you’ve moved to the area and you have a business you run from home or if you moved your offices here, you may want to think about a new or updated website; one that you can maintain yourself and that takes advantage of new technology and social media.
Social media is a great way to inform your colleagues and business associates that you are continuing to offer the same great services in a new location. But, if your website is three years or older, chances are you don’t have live links to social media. You are not taking advantage of all that Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In can do.
My husband and I moved to Framingham last year. I have a freelance business designing web sites and I provide WordPress design and development. My site, Perugi Design, was at least three years old, so I got to work and designed one that looks current and provides robust functionality and versatility using WordPress.
WordPress is an open source project, which means there are hundreds of people (developers) all over the world working on it. CMS allows content creators, such as you, or an employee, to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files… and it’s free! You can make edits, add photos or video or run a shopping cart from any computer. Fifty percent of all cms sites use WordPress and its growing all the time.
Major web players use it: CNN, Wired, The New York Times and Martha Stewart Magazine to name a few.
Getting your new site set up and working for you is my job. My expertise is helping you move your look and content into 2011 and beyond. I can explain the process and I take the time to get it right and teach you all you need to know.
Thank you Deb. I have seen Deb’s work and she is a true professional. If you should have any questions please contact Deb using the contact information below.
