Yeah, we're fans of Halloween. There are spiders and skeletons and ghosts haunting the halls at OBI. But don't be afraid to stop by for a meeting to discuss your web project. Creativity is at its peak this time of year and our extra helpers have a certain magical way of churning out quality work in the wee hours of the night.

OBI takes the 'horror' out of website development. And when your website goes live it'll be all treats, no tricks... we promise ;)

Email Marketing Anyone?

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:09:20 GMT

Clear communication with your customers and clients is a must these days. Are you using the right email marketing solution for your business? You've collected all those email addresses through the years and have decided it's high time to put them to good use. There are so many email marketing solutions out there it's hard to know which one to use. Then, once you've made that decision, there's the actual 'using it' part that can be a struggle.

At OBI we'll step you through the whole process, get your mailing list imported if you have one, create a custom template to match your website so your newsletters don't look like everyone else's out there using cookie cutter templates, and then train you so it's all clear and when you log in to send a newsletter it's hassle free. Spend your time writing good content and a great message instead of wrestling with a program that doesn't quite work! Email us today if you would like more info on OBI's email marketing solutions.

Why You Need SEO

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:07:15 GMT

Working closely with our web design team, our new in-house SEO (Search Engine Optimization) department is more effective than most stand-alone SEO firms because we design sites with the latest optimization techniques from the ground up.

Content, photos, graphics and navigation are carefully crafted so that the site gets the highest search engine ranking possible. A high ranking means more traffic to your site and higher sales potential.

Call or email us today. We would love to give you a free site evaluation and quote. In these highly competitive times, it is no longer enough just to have a website. It should be optimized to attract the most traffic from the World Wide Web.

Designed-in SEO is your billboard on the Internet.

Have Something to Sell?

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 17:07:02 GMT

OBI has the right e-commerce solution for you whether you want to sell 100's of products or a handfull.

E-commerce solutions have come a long way over the last couple years. This is probably due in part to the new PCI regulations that have forced many companies to make necessary security changes. But also, the consumer has become much more savvy and demanding that the online purchasing process be simple and fast. If it's not, there are plenty of other online stores out there selling the same thing - and they'll go there in a click.

We've used many different e-commerce solutions over the years. If you have something you want to sell online, email us and we'll pick the right one for you.

OBI Celebrates 14th Birthday

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:02:06 GMT

Happy Birthday OBI! This spring we celebrated 14 years in the business. Crazy :)

Yep, we designed sites for 640 x 480 screen resolution and had a client that we referred to as CSS (Corolla Surf Shop) before anyone used CSS. So much has changed over the last 14 years in the web design industry: how we use the internet both socially and profesionally, e-commerce, email, design trends, seo, etc. ... it's made for quite an exciting "hold on to your hat" kind of ride.

We saw many leave the business during the big dot-com bubble burst in 2000 - 2001. Thankfully, by that time, we mananged to have a pretty strong client base and due to the strength of our portfolio and the excellent rapport we have built with our clients, the work continued to flow and mostly by word of mouth.

We'd like to thank each and every one of our clients for your trust and support over the years. We look forward to many more years of web development deliciousness. Cheers!
