In the spotlight
In
this issue we focus on a feature instead of a site. Recently we have
developed a great looking slideshow, that is proving to become more and
more popular with our clients. The slideshow is Flash based, and we can
offer a fall back on a single image.
The client can add images to the slideshow by simply uploading them to a gallery.

Web Security Guide
As a business owner operating a website you can be assured that the
server running your software is much safer than your home PC. But
viruses can still be a real threat to your business.

Last year we spent almost 600 hours on support fixing problems, building new features and updating websites, among things. On average tickets were solved in 35 minutes, and 50% of tickets were solved in 15 minutes or less!
- From the Google Newsdesk: Until now, sitelinks have only ever appeared on the first search
result, and so at most one site could have sitelinks per query. We're
now launching an expansion of sitelinks: a single row of links can now
appear for results that didn't show sitelinks before, even for results
that aren't in the first position. read more

A Tourist's Experience
Our limo picked us up at 5:30 am for an 8:00 USAir flight. Too funny
when they pulled up in a stretch Expedition that took up almost our
entire driveway! The driver asked how many we had - just the two of us!
We checked in - upgraded to First Class for $150 (worth every penny in
my opinion) and made our way over to the duty-free shop to purchase our
alcohol for the trip since we haven't seen the liquor kiosk in Aruba
for a couple of years now.
