This Week In CE Pro: Website Upgrades


CE Pro: Brush Up Your Website (Now that you Really Need those Customers)


And, in case you're interested, here's a handful of websites that I like:



Reece Complete Security Solutions Simple, direct, and focused on selling the benefits. (Disclosure: I did the marketing text for it)

Bravo AV Once again, simple, professional and gives you a reason to contact them.

Systems Inc Powerful branding statements. Makes it clear what they’re all about. (Disclosure: I contributed to the substance of the site when I was employed there)

The Deborah Smith Group Informative but brief. Totally on point about their services. Sleek and professional looking site.

Dell Smart Home Solutions focused and concise, great use of testimonials on each page.

Lee Distad's Professional Opinion: Now On Twitter


I’m not an early adopter. I only usually pick up things once they’re no longer cool.

That’s not entirely true, I was an early adopter with Sony's MiniDisc format, and look how well that turned out!

Lately, Lee Distad's Professional Opinion has been little more than a link farm to my work elsewhere. As much as I like hurling snark and invective at bad business decisions, I'm often needed elsewhere.

I've got a sense that Twitter will allow me to dash off swift and obnoxious Professional Opinions at the speed at which they come to my overcaffienated brain, especially when I lack the luxury of time to craft more thoughtful blog posts.
