Backing Up Your WordPress Website

By Tech Review

How important is backing up your website?  In my opinion, it’s essential.   If you depend on people finding your website in order to contact you, place an order, or get directions, you need your website live.

I recommend WordPress for many of the websites we develop at SCWD because of its powerful and simple admin panel.  One of the great things about WordPress is that you have the ability to add content without needing to know HTML coding. You can add pages, change verbiage, add events or blog posts, change your phone number – all without having to call your web designer and pay an hourly rate.   This lets you have control of your content and not be dependent on anyone else’s schedule to make your changes for you.

Can you say BUSY? This month SCWD hit the ground running and our pace hasn’t slowed down yet. We are so thankful for all of your business! Keeping it local is working out just fine for us. I love San Clemente. So, on that note, here’s a taste of what we’ve been up to since I last checked-in.

Did you know we aren’t just about building websites? We also dig doing website redesigns. This month we revamped the homepage for www.drewbrophy.com. It’s crisp clean new look, now more clearly outlines the broad spectrum of products and cool inspirational services they offer. Plus, Drew’s unique style of surf-art is splashed all over it!

It let’s you accept your customer’s credit and debit cards with ease by swiping them right on your smart phone. And, I’ve found a place you can go to get yours FREE. Just visit https://squareup.com. Once you’ve linked it to your bank account you’re ready to start accepting those cards. And, with the low fee of 2.75%, it’s an affordable way for you to get in the game.

 

 

The Kindle. Which One is the Best Choice for YOU?

By Tech ReviewNo Comments

E-Readers are the greatest! They go with us everywhere and give us instant access to any type of reading material on the Internet we choose. Best Sellers, newspapers, blogs, magazines, basically anything digital. But, if you’re a Mom like me, you know they can also access games – which can sometimes be a busy parent’s best friend.

I have both the Kindle Keyboard and the Kindle Fire, and if reading is your goal, go with the regular Kindle. It is amazing. With their E Ink technology, it is as close to reading from ink and paper as you’re going to get from an electronic device.  It isn’t color, though, so save reading your magazines for the Fire.

If you have kids, like me, the Kindle Fire is the choice. Mine is still going strong after four months in our home and we have a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old, playing games on it! It streams movies and TV shows and the picture quality is great. I think it’s a cool little gadget that the whole family can enjoy!
