			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more, potential customers are not letting their &#8220;fingers do the walking.&#8221; To find what they need, they are using<br />
  their fingers to click at Google, Yahoo! or MSN .</p>
<p>If you do not have a website – you are loosing them before you even have a change to tell them about your product or service. Think of a Web site as multiple, full-page Yellow Page ads that gets 100 times more results for your local business. </p>
<p>Cover every business category and geographic region for a fraction of the cost of a single Yellow Pages ad. </p>
<p><span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>A Web site that works is the most cost-and-time efficient way to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Build loyal lifetime customers </li>
<li>Grow Your Client Base</li>
<li>Build Trust With Potential Customers</li>
<li>Get the Jump on Competitors</li>
<li>Develop and Stay &#8220;Top of Mind&#8221;</li>
<li>Extend Your Reach &#8211; Attract new local (and global!) customers</li>
<li>Diversify: Open up new revenue streams.</li>
</ol>
<p>But where do you start?</p>
<p>Well, you need to register a domain name, host your new site, build the site pages, submit your site to the directories and<br />
  them promote it. You’ll need other people to link to your site and you’d want to send your customers emails. </p>
<p>Perhaps most important of all you’d need to know how many people are visiting your site and how many of those are buying<br />
  from you. </p>
<p>It might seem like a lot at first glance and it can be, but not if you choose a company that gives you all the tools, in one place, with a straightforward, integrated, step-by-step process to support you every step of the way. </p>
<p>Real estate agent, landscaper, restaurant owner, health practitioner, artist, alarm system distributor, boutique owner&#8230;whoever you are and whatever you do&#8230; Jcran Solutions is the affordable, solution you need to build and host a Web site that WORKS.</p>
<p>There is no better time than now to get your business on the World Wide Web&#8230; before you competition does. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web hosting is a very tricky subject in the internet world and a lot of people think that hosting is hosting. This is a big misconception and we want you to know why.</p>
<p>Several low priced hosting providers will stack thousands of web sites on one server and assign one IP address to all of them. There are several problems with this approach and you should know this before you decide on a hosting provider. The main issue with stacking several web sites on one server is the speed of your site. Although most people throughout the world have high speed internet connections, they are very impatient when it comes to slow web sites. Slow web sites are mainly due to the poor quality of hosting web site owners have chosen.<span id="more-264"></span></p>
<p>Another problem with poor quality web hosting is spam. When a hosting provider stacks several sites on one IP address and one of those sites performs spamish activity, the search engines and email systems will treat every site on that IP as a spamming site. This effects your search engine position and also makes your emails a spam alert with email programs.</p>
<p>So, the money you think you are saving by choosing a poor hosting provider will actually cost you more money than you save.</p>
<p>We provide a hosting service that will guarantee your site&#8217;s best potential to be found in the search engines and that will have most uptime. Our servers have been down one time in the past 11 years and that was due to a local fire that caused us to shut them down for safety. This downtime was for 4 hours and was barely noticed by the thousands of customers we provide hosting for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest mistakes that a company can make is thinking that a website is just information about their company and no one cares how the information is structured or how it looks.</p>
<p>The thing that managers and business owners need to understand is that websites are become a necessary evil in the marketplace and when a visitor finds your website, they are getting the first impression of your business.  I’m not saying you need a flashy, extravagant design with tons of irrelevant content, but you at least need to show that you are serious about your business and portray a professional image that makes a prospective customer you interested in earning their business.<span id="more-124"></span></p>
<p>So many times, I see companies that are well respected and provide a great service and/or product throw together a cheap looking website that leaves prospective customers looking elsewhere.  The funny thing is, these businesses will actually spend tons advertising dollars pushing these websites on billboard signs, print media and mailings.</p>
<p>Hiring a professional web designer is more cost effective than most business owners think and a professional will help you portray an image that educated buyers are looking for these days.  How many times have you found a website that impressed you so much, you decided to do business with that company and on the other side of the map, how many times have you found a website that you skipped right over to find a more professional looking image?  This happens all the time and the sad part is, the company you skipped over could be the best place to do business with.</p>
<p>So, don’t leave your image to chance, spend the extra money and hire a professional web designer to help your business capture the most business possible.  Even if you don’t hire Jcran Solutions for your web design needs, hire a company that knows how to market your business on the internet so you don’t miss out on business you could have.</p>
