Windows SVN Introduction
I frequently work with other web developers, graphic designers and content writers, who all know HTML. What they don't know is how to access my files and collaborate.
This article is intended for people I work with as a quick introduction to using SVN on Windows.
Read more...Search Engine Optimization
I used to offer SEO services when I started freelancing. Then I started to learn more about SEO and figured out it was just an elaborate marketing ploy to get inside your wallet.
SEO is actually the practice of spamming search engines, which is likely to get you banned from search engines, instead of a higher ranking.
What I do is called web usability, which is the process of making your website easy to use for it's readers. If you have a website that people love using, Search Engines will come to you and you won't need to spam them.
In my blog, I post articles which will actually help your search engine rankings as I only use valid, sources who actually work at Search Engine Companies.
Domain Registration
Unlike large domain registrars, I will manage your domain for you.
What does this mean? My "Full service" Domain Registration includes:
- Registering a .com or .ca name
- Renewing the domain for you so it doesn't lapse.
- Manage your DNS (this can confusing to some).
I charge $80 per year for the above service.
Web Hosting
I'm a systems administrator so I can meet any hosting requirement you have. Check out the article I wrote "Ten Signs Of A Bad Web Host" published by WebUpon.
Below is a list of services, I currently offer.
Shared Web hosting
This is sufficient for most websites.
Virtual Private Hosting
Do you need a private host? I can set one up and manage it for you.
Dedicated hosting
I can purchase the hardware and install the software to get your website up and running.
Ubuntu for web development
This article explains my process of setting up a desktop (or development server) for the purpose of web development. The goal is to create a script which reduces downtime when rebuilding a system from scratch.
In this article I will use Ubuntu Linux for my Operating System.
