We recently launched the newly redesigned and redeveloped website for Virginia's Motorsports Alley, a regional Tourism and Economic Development initiative; the new site can be viewed at motorsportsalley.com.

The old site was developed several years ago by another company, focusing mainly on Economic Development, and we were contracted to develop an additional Tourism section.   The project scope grew when it was determined that the site's content management system needed to be upgraded to a new version, requiring a new layout to be designed for the new cms version, so the project ended up being a complete site redesign and redevelopment.

The four Lakes Media Network stations already have live streaming on their websites, but what if you want to be able to quickly & easily switch between listening to the stations?  We've got the solution!

We're developing a new iPhone app that streams all four of the stations so you can switch between stations at the touch of a finger.  The four stations are 95-3HLF - Today's Soft Rock Favorites, 1045 The Dan Danville's Class Rock Hits, Rewind 1019 - South Hill's Greatest Hits, and US983 - Your Online Country Connection.   If you would like to be a beta tester for the app, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and we can get you an ad hoc copy along with instructions on how to install it to your iPhone.  If you love all music genres and like to listen to different music at different times, depending on your mood, this app is perfect for you.

Or in this case, the keyword star.

As the web matures and becomes more entwined with our lives, sometimes words aren't enough to attract search engines.  The latest buzz is that having videos on your site will not only give you more interesting content, but may also help with your search engine placement.  Search engines are trying to give more variety in their results, and the word is that the algorithms are stacked to give preference to pages including video.

Would you let a hobbyist build your home?

I sincerely doubt it, but too many small business owners trust their website - the face of their business that literally anyone in the the entire world can view - to someone because they're cheap.  And that's NOT the way you would choose a home builder.

Designing and developing a custom website is much like building a custom home: compare square footage to site size, upgrades and amenities to site features, and livability to usability.  Sure, you can buy a tract home and there's nothing wrong with that, but your home will look like many others and won't reflect your personality and lifestyle preferences.  Cheap websites are usuallly cookie-cutter sites built from fill-in-the-content templates; that may be good enough for your starter site, but eventually you'll outgrow it and want something that's more reflective of your branding, useful for your customers and staff, and professional.
