I want to announce today with sadness that Angela Mahan is leaving Texstar Web.com and has accepted a position with another company in another industry.
While at Texstar Web.com, Angela did an amazing job helping us establish a number of protocols and procedures. More importantly, she did an incredible job of reaching out to prospective clients, and took a leadership role in sales and marketing.
Every client Angela touched has shared with me how amazing, intelligent, and friendly she is. Angela will be greatly missed. I know her new employer has an incredible employee.
Due to Angela’s hard work and leadership, she leaves behind a legacy at Texstar Web.com. We are in a strong position for continued growth and expansion, and in the coming weeks we will be coming out with several new products that we know you will want to use to grow your company.
As of today, I will be working with Angela’s clients to help you achieve your online goals. If I can help you with anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 214-995-7689 or by email at don@texstarweb.com.

We are excited to be donating a web site to the Wylie Veteran’s Memorial. The new website will feature profiles of those honored on pave stones around the Monument. It will also be a place to connect with military and veterans organizations, as well as learn of other events that will take place around the Monument.
As a veteran of 12 years, I can’t imagine a better way to give back my gratitude and thanks to the men and women who have, and continue, to sacrifice the ultimate price for the freedoms we have today.
I’m honored we could do this project, and look forward to providing this organization with the best tools available to help them.

Okay, you have a great website. It looks professional, neat, and interesting. One problem, no one is visiting it. Why?
There could be many good reasons, but usually the first is because there is very little valuable content for a search engine.
Search engines, especially Google, no longer work on meta tag keywords, and really never have (I’ve discussed this in a previous blog entry). In addition, packing keywords into your website doesn’t work well anymore with all the changes search engines are making these days.
So what are you to do?
Content really is King! And, what it says is very important. It’s more important than ever to provide valuable information that includes keywords, links, headers, sub-heads, and more.
But, you don’t know how to do this?
With that in mind:
Consider hiring a website design/development company that understands the search engines and can help you with utilizing the right content on your website.
The second option is to hire a good SEO copywriter in addition to the web design/development company. There are many very good companies out there that can help.
Caution, an SEO copyrighter is different than an Search Engine Optimization company. There are many scams out there. SEO is now focusing more on content rather than keywords so it’s very important that your SEO copywriter provides VALUE – not just keywords and links.
Don’t get caught up into linking, buying keywords, and all kinds of other nonsense. That’s just throwing your money down the drain.
Want to get found on the web?
Create great content, change it often and add new pages, get involved with social media and blogging, and you’ll begin to discover a whole new world.

Have you ever seen the commercial for the $4.95 per month do it yourself template and wondered why a finance company is offering cheap do-it-yourself websites?
It’s because the website design/development industry is, unfortunately, full of people who are either incompetent, have no business skills, over promise and under-deliver, can’t do what they promised, don’t keep current, or they are just scam artist taking people’s money to never be heard from again.
Some business owners are just tired of the hassle and feeling like they just wasted their money, and who could blame them. This has opened up an opportunity in the market to appeal to the disenfranchised who just don’t want to mess with it and it’s easier to do it themselves. Hence, do-it-yourself template websites.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, those folks got taken advantage of, again. Template websites are not the answer!
I’ll say it again, template websites are not the answer!!!
Websites are not commodities or a waste of time and money. But that’s what we’ve turned them into.
Instead, they ought to be investments in your business. They are one of your very best tools for marketing, branding, and relationship building. Dollar-for-dollar, they are the least expensive tool you have that should be generating the greatest Return on Investment.
That doesn’t mean they are cheap, and frankly you don’t want them to be! You get what you pay for.
That brings me to you, since you are reading this. Who is our ideal client?
Our ideal client is the person or company who gets what I’m talking about, wants their website done the right way, and wants someone they can work with for a very long time. They want to trust a website company and believe in their words, products, and services. And they recognize the value we bring to the table.
It seems that our company has developed a great reputation for doing what we said we were going to do. And many of our clients are people who get the technology, understand it, and want to use it. But, they don’t have either the time, expertise, or desire to do it all themselves.
This is why they hired someone in the first place. Here are a few examples from our own clients:
“Texstar Web.com came highly recommended by our computer tech, however we had had so many problems with developers in the past that we interviewed 6 before we choose them! They immediately put our fears to rest. They have the highest level of integrity, and they do what they says they will do in a timely fashion. They are a pleasure to work with and they aren’t afraid to try new things. I would recommend Texstar Web.com to anyone looking for a good, reliable developer.”
Gayle Cotton, Circles of Excellence
When we hired Don Purdum of Texstar Web.com to redesign our website we were very cautious as we had been burned really bad by two of our previous web designers. They have not only met, but exceeded any and all expectations we had. Our website looks great, is easy to navigate through, is coming up on Google searches, has its own blog & now is also connected to some key social networks. Based on the work Texstar Web.com has done for us so far, I would recommend Texstar Web.com to anyone looking to improve an existing site or build a new one.

Everyday, we talk with people who don’t understand social media but have a desire to learn it. The reasons they don’t understand it are numerous, but perhaps one of the biggest reason is due to so called “social marketing experts” who are talking to people about something they know little about.
To be fair, social media is still growing, still evolving, and we are learning new ways of using it all of the time to introduce ourseleves to new prospects and to build upon existing relationships.
Nonetheless, there is a lot of information out there on how to use social media, and some of those ”experts” are really just followers repeating what the true “experts” are saying. And, the ”experts” are creating jargons that are confusing the landscape, using a language that people don’t know or understand. The unfortunate consequence is that this jargon has very little, if any meaning, except that it sounds cool in their minds. I have breaking news, it isn’t cool in anyone else’s mind.
Socialmediatoday.com author Kathy Klotz as just wrote a great article titled, “Where There’s Jargon, There’s Parody…And a Few Serious Marketing Reminders.”
She talks pointedly about the terms the industry is coining, and how “social media experts” are out there using the jargon to the dismay and confusion of their prospects and clients. She says, “Jargon gets between you and your audience and ends up like a bad restaurant experience – in that no one is really served well.”
”It’s bad enough when you do a Google search for social media expert, everyone and their dog surfaces, now add to that the lack of clear conversation about the use of tools to ENABLE REAL CONVERSATION.”
Conversation, that is what social media is all about. Someone out there may be having a conversation about you. Would you know it? Are you having a conversation about you? Are you making the convesation about them?
Don’t let pointless jargon and worthless marketing terms get in the way of connecting with people.
When looking for someone to help you learn how to use social media, I recommend finding someone who is effectively doing what they recommend, can use simple to terms to explain and teach, and someone who will really take the time to help you achieve your online goals and objectives.
Be sure to read the entire article – you may find yourself enlightened!
