A few months ago, when Google+ came out, we told you a little bit about it even though it wasn’t time for businesses to start building their brand pages quite yet. (If you missed that article and you’re unfamiliar with the basics of Google+, we suggest you go back and check it out so you’ll know what we’re talking about today.) Now that the networking site is properly optimized to meet the needs of businesses with Google+ Pages, it’s go time, people.

SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, is the topic of much conversation around the Interwebz lately. And rightfully so: it’s a very complex and controversial political issue and it can potentially have a big impact on the Internet AND your business.

Legislators in both the House and Senate are attempting to pass their own versions of anti-piracy legislation by the end of this calendar year. Both bills propose granting new permission to law enforcement agencies in order to crack down on illegal pirating of movies, music and other copyrighted material.

We talk a lot on our blog about what we do, but we realized that we never talk about how we do what we do.  So today, and maybe every so often from now on, we’ll give you a glimpse of what it’s like behind the scenes here at GLAD WORKS during the “doing” phases of your projects. 

First, let’s talk about what happens when we design a website. It seems magical, doesn’t it? You come in here, you tell us what you want, and POOF!  There’s a website.

“Whoa! That was AWESOME!” you say.  “You guys are mmmmmaagical!”

A couple of weeks ago, we suggested a few things that we think are going to be important to think about for your business over the coming year. This week, we have a few predictions to make about what we’re going to see more or less of as 2012 progresses. And before you even ask, we don’t belong to the psychic friends network and we cannot hook you up with some lottery numbers.

Before the holidays we talked about a few things that are going to be important to think about over the coming year as you formulate your business strategies. Perhaps the most important thing out of everything we discussed is going mobile. So now that we’ve eaten all our gingerbread cookies and sucked down the last of the eggnog, it’s time to think about all the ways you can generate some sales using mobile.
