For anyone that has a Website and wants to be found on the Internet, an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) campaign is a must.  SEO is defined as the process of improving ranking in search engine results.  There are literally books and websites filled with this information.  What about if you just want to see how your web site is computed in the eyes of a search engine?  Well, a company call HubSpot has a free trial for their product.  Their product is a series of tools designed to assist in optimizing your site for search engines and their spiders.   You can even enter other web sites as your "competitors" to see how they are doing in the SEO arena.

Recently we had a customer that came to us with a laptop that had a screen that was cracked diagonally across it.  The question was, "Does it cost more to fix it, or replace it?".  In truth, there are some qualifiers to that question to answer one way or another.  

The qualifiers to answer this question really have to do with the state of the current laptop, aside from the broken screen.  

How old is the laptop?

This question may or may be the deciding factor in shelling out the money to pay for a new laptop.  If the laptop is 0-4 years old, you may just want to replace the screen.  If the laptop if greater than 4 years, the next question must be asked.

Am I able to comfortably perform computing on my existing laptop?

I say comfortable, because you may be able to do your work on it, but if the computer is slow and causing a fair amount of grief you may want to upgrade the laptop.  However, don't confuse a slow operating system that has become corrupted over the years with a laptop that's processor isn't keeping up with the software you are using.  Sometimes all you need to increase the speed of a computer is to add more memory.

What other problems are there with the laptop?

If you DVD\CD drive is being held closed by a piece of tape and you are hearing strange noises coming from your hard drive, it no longer makes sense to repair the laptop.  After the installation of a new screen, new hard drive, and new DVD\CD drive you will have spent close to $500.  $500 will get you a very decent Brand New Laptop.

Is the laptop not yours and you want to cover up you mistake of accidentally breaking the screen?

A little humor here, but this does happen from time to time.  It would be best to ask your friend or the owner of the laptop what they want done with the laptop.

Getting a laptop screen replaced is less expensive that you may think.  Here at CLB IT, laptop screens can be purchased and installed starting at $100.  No matter where you are, you can send in your laptop and have a 1 day turnaround.  Give us a call today toll free @ (877) 252-4804.

Custom software is different than "shrink wrapped" software. Custom software is designed with you in mind; it is built to fit into your culture and support your business processes and workflow.

Our approach to building custom business software is to work closely with your key personnel to identify the needs in your organization and to determine whether or not custom software can solve your problems.

Our client base is a healthy mix of all types of businesses from entrepreneurs starting out in business to regional and national notables.  No organization is too large or small to benefit from custom business software development.

Why choose custom software to grow my business? Ironically, "out-of the box" software is anything but "out of the box." It's "junk food" for business applications: pre-packaged, generic, conformist, one-size-fits-all. Are those terms you use to describe your company? Of course not! So why use software that's not tailor-made for your needs?

That's where World Wide Web Communications comes in. Our core programming specialties cover every phase of business including:
