HTML/CSS code ninja needed

Posted by: Michael Reynolds, President/CEO on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at 3:09:59 pm

SpinWeb is looking for an HTML/CSS coder to work with our design team to break out website designs and implement them into our CMS. This would be a three-phase position and we will evaluate as we go:

  1. Contract position as a trial
  2. Part time
  3. Full time

Here's what we need done:

  1. Break out design comps from our design team
  2. Write strict HTML and code the website
  3. Style and deploy websites in our CMS
  4. Hand off the finished website to the designer to tweak and approve

The CMS we use is Accrisoft Freedom and we will provide documentation on how it works. We need someone who is experienced in HTML/CSS, a quick learner, and who doesn't mind problem-solving and testing code for accessibility and polish.

If you think you are a good fit for what we need, please contact me. We look forward to meeting you!

Topics for the SpinWeb Learning Center

Posted by: Michael Reynolds, President/CEO on Monday, June 28, 2010 at 2:17:53 pm

As some of your know, we are hard at work adding content to our online Learning Center. This community is designed to teach marketing directors, business owners, and communications professionals how to use technology to effectively communicate and market online.

Currently, we are covering topics like blogging, SEO, website management, email marketing, social media, and email productivity.

We have a lot of great content already in place but I would love to hear feedback on what else you would like to see. What information would help you do your job better? What tools, tips, and tricks would make you more successful?

Please let us know by posting a comment below. We will get right to work adding these course to the Learning Center.

How a Facebook Like button can drive more traffic to your website

Posted by: Michael Reynolds, President/CEO on Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 3:04:11 pm

Most people I talk to are interested in more traffic to their websites. Traffic is good, right? It increases brand awareness, gets attention focused on your content, and can lead to new customers. If you could increase traffic to your website by adding one small button to your blog, would you do it?

So would I! That's why I added a Facebook "Like" button to allow visitors to share their approval on Facebook. The new Like button allows website visitors to give a thumbs up to your content with just one click. Then, then click shows up as an activity message on that person's Facebook news feed with a link back to the article, like this:

Everyone in my friend list will now see that I liked this article and they can then click on it to view the original post on my website. This makes it very easy for people to promote your content for you. Just be sure you write content that use useful to people so they will be inspired to "Like" it.

Adding the button is easy and it requires just one piece of code. If you're a SpinWeb client, just post a comment below or contact me and I'll make sure we install it on your blog. If you are comfortable adding your own code to your blog, you can use this snippet.

Just paste it in at the top of your blog content and you should be all set. Comments and questions are welcome. If you liked this, don't forget to click the button at the top :) Enjoy!

At SpinWeb, we are committed to providing as much education as possible to our clients because we want to see them succeed. For this reason, we have created an online learning center to help provide education in areas like online marketing and technology.

Some of the topics we will cover in the Learning Center include blogging, email management, AdWords, Google Analytics, Facebook advertising, Twitter marketing, website usability, SEO, and social media best practices.

We would love to make this an open community that includes high-quality content from our parters, as well. There are many great speakers in the online services community that our clients would love to learn from. If you feel that you are one of those speakers, we would love to have you as an instructor!

To register, create an account and then let me know that you are interested. We can have a short conversation to see if it makes sense and then you can start submitting content.

Even if you don't plan to become an instructor, feel free to register and learn. It's free!
