While the names are cute, as history would dictate these types of names are very hard for children to remember.  To associate the name with an actual character they will need to be developed quite literally.  For example, SoxandShoes would need to be a pair of socks and shoes rather than say a bunny named SoxandShoes.  Preadolescent minds work by developing associations between words actual images.  In short, they are more inclined to remember if both the character and the characters name is representative of something in their developing world (either the real world around them or their world of knowledge such as other books, fairly tales, shows etc).

Some of the most successful characters abide by this associative child psychology and combine a name with an image.  This helps the child understand that Jim is an Earthworm and Sonic is in fact a Hedgehog.  Puff the magic Dragon is another good example of this.

Another popular way of approaching this is to combine the literal object a character is formed around and an adjective.  Mr.HappyClam is a good example of a noun + substantive adjective approach. Further examples are:

• Sponge Bob Square Pants
• Fantastic Mr. Fox
• Lucky the Leprechaun

In some popular fiction and games outlandish names are given without an associated noun but this is often only effective with teen+ audiences.  JK Rowling uses whimsical names such as Hagrat and Dumbeldor but it will take children more than a few times to recall that Hagrat is an Ogre and Dumbeldor is a wizard for the simple reason of absent associative logic.  Without this correlation you risk losing some of your repeat audience members in the target demographic.

If you are faced with such a branding situation, we would suggest nailing down what you want the characters to be (fox, clam, toad etc) then tying in a name and or adjective as outlined above.

  And finally you have to have links to your site.  The important point to keep in mind is to do it right.  If you start taking short cuts and use cheap options such a link farms where you pay to be linked to, you will eventually get burned by Google.  It may work for a short time but it is not a sustainable option.  And being banded or knocked down to page 72 of the search results is not worth it.

So then the question becomes how do you develop a strategy to create great content and links?  Our friends Joost and Olivier have a great video to walk you through the power, and growing necessity of social media for SEO.

The reason for this success is our mindset. We believe in harboring long term relationships that will help us grow over time rather than making a quick buck like so many other agencies. This means we bend over backwards to extend aggressive pricing, work within your budget and even schedule payment plans all so you and your company can benefit from agency grade products that are sometimes unattainable for small companies.

Despite this effort to make the numbers work, we still fall outside of what some can afford. That is why we will be extending our own resources to provide a free multi function website to 20 lucky business owners.

This website will come with a blog, gallery along with a long list of other features all built on a CMS allowing you to log in and update it yourself. All in all, it’s thousands of dollars worth of development- a gift from us to you in hopes you will hire us for other services down the road when your company has grown and prospered because of this website.

To qualify we ask that you be an independent Contractor or small company (between 1-3 employees and partners combined). Fill out the form below to apply!

There are currently 11 free websites remaining so contact us asap!

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you all for your interest.  We have given away all the free websites for now.

Come back again as we will have new offerings soon.

Here are some concepts to keep in mind.

Content: Does your website effectively convey who you are, how you are different, what you do and why you are better?

Navigation: How easy is it for your users to find their way around your site? How many clicks does it take to get to where you want them to go?

Calls to action: Are your site visitors doing the things you expect? Do people spend a reasonable amount of time on your site and is your site delivering the results you need?

Site load time and performance: Does your site have the right balance of graphic elements and responsiveness? Do people have time to get a coffee between page views?

Accessibility for users with disabilities: How accessible is the information on your website to users with disabilities? If you promote your organization as being an equal opportunity employer, how compliant is your website?

Content and readability: From formatting to grammar, how accurate and descriptive is your content? Does it compel your visitors to act?

This is a just a brief over view of issues to keep in mind with your site. If you are not on top of your site and your usability chances are that you are loosing clients.

Only about 20% of small businesses appear to use Twitter. And unlike your website, it is not necessarily needed for your successful marketing. Where your website can serve as a simple thought, brilliantly engaging online brochure that markets you to the world 24/7/365, Twitter requires, for success, a constant attention and stream of information.

To many entrepreneurs and small businesses, this can be a blessing and a curse. According to Mark Frauenfelder, founder of the popular blog boingboing.net,

“It’s a way to connect directly with people in an informal atmosphere where they’re not afraid to provide feedback. You can float ideas you can’t anywhere else.”

“People with entrepreneurial spirit are so interested in creating a fascinating life for themselves, they would have less trouble creating a compelling story than someone who’s a cog in a machine.”

But like anything else, and more so, you get what you put into Twitter.

On the other hand, Twitter can become a huge time waste and costly distraction. Opening the flood gates to yet another source of information overload, and just one more task to add to the todo list.

So what does it mean for you? Look at Twitter as a tool. If you enjoy the idea and will maintain it and bring value to your client with Twitter, then it makes perfect sense. On the other hand, if you don’t have the time or see the relevance, you can still build and market a very successful business.

Although these 5 steps may seem simple, there is a lot going on behind the scenes. We have a talented and capable team at your disposal who are passionate about what they do and will work with your best intentions in mind.

Step 1: Discover

This is the first step and can be conducted in person, by email or a phone call, whatever you feel most comfortable with. We get to know you, what your company does, who you are trying to reach and what you are trying to accomplish. This is also a great opportunity for you to get to know us: what we are good at, what we have done, and more importantly, what we can do for you. This information will help us assemble an estimate of time and cost to complete your project. Should you accept the estimate, we require a 50% deposit and we will get started right away.

For medium to large sized companies that are seeking multiple bids for complex project(s), we welcome formal RFP’s.

Step 2: Research

This is the most important part of any project because in order to develop an effective product, everyone on our team will need to completely understand what you are trying to accomplish and who you are trying to reach. We devote the time and energy to research competitors, demographics, user preferences, and may even conduct polls, surveys, and interviews depending on the scope of the project. The information gathered is centered around User Centered Design (UCD) which explores the needs, wants, and limitations of your target audience. By identifying and understanding your users, we can anticipate how they will react so the optimal design and technologies can be placed on the drawing board.

Step 3: Design

In this step we put our heads together, apply the research, and create a static visual proof or “mock-up” of a few of the core pages as it will appear on the web. You will receive a JPEG of this mock up that you can comment on, request changes to, or if it is the way you imagined it, accept it so we can begin constructing it for the web.

Our design team is made up of industry leading graphic designers, user-centered designers, and interface designers. They are critically acclaimed and have worked on hundreds of projects of all sizes ranging from industry titans such as Warner Brothers, Ferrari, and McDonalds, to one person start up companies.

Step 4: Develop

If your product is a website, this is where we turn designs into web code, based upon the mock-up you approved. Various codes, scripts, and web technologies are applied . We go to great lengths in order to ensure that your website is properly coded so that users can see it on any web browser and so that search engines can find it. Once this step is complete, we will send you a live mock-up on testing the URL. Once again, you provide feedback, request changes, or give us the thumbs up to go live.

Step 5: Deliver

In this final step, we clean and organize the files, setup the domain, server and hosting details, then put the website live on the web. For those of you who want to manage your domain and server yourself, we email the internet ready files to you so you have everything you need to take it live on your own.
