Encouraging a Social Media Mindset in the Workplace
- September 29, 2011
With social media becoming such a necessity not only in peoples lives but also for many businesses. Companies need to start making decisions on social media in the work place. With today’s technology (i.e. smartphones, laptops, and tablets) social media has become apart of every digital tool we use and that isn’t going to change. So the question a smart business owner should ask himself is “What Social Media mindset should I incorporate to better my business vs it getting in the way of my business.”
As of now many companies big and small see Social Media as a distraction for employees. Employees are procrastinating at work, not meeting deadlines and being unproductive at work because there to busy replying to a post a friend or family member created or maybe there almost done cropping the fields on Farmville. Whatever the case maybe employers have begun to see Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc.. as nothing more than distractions. Well guess what? It’s time to change the Social Mindset on your workforce and the trick is to show employees how to use social technology to meet business goals rather then casual use.

Decision Time
- March 30, 2011
What’s going on today at the Miami Web Design Pro offices? Well no big deal except that one of our employees finds out today whether she has been accepted to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton. That employee is me, and saying that I’m nervous would be an understatement. Something along the lines of “on the brink of an aneurysm” is a little more appropriate.
I find out in 20 minutes, and counting. DUN DUN DUN. Needless to say this has been the longest day of my life, not to mention that the fact that Yale’s website is down is not helping my nerves.

Okay, so they’re cool, but are they effective?
- March 23, 2011
We’re talking about Touchscreen Tablets. Miami Web Design Pro loves playing with the newest web design gadgets, because let’s face it: we’re a bunch of geeks. When we’re designing a website we prefer to start our ideas on paper. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and a great website wasn’t immediately begun it requires planning. Most designers use sketchpads or just plain ol’ paper, but in today’s day-and-age a sketchpad is become quite rustic, and unpractical because of the size. Okay so what’s the solution? Well you can scan it but it might not be as crisp, or look at good. Or you can take a picture, but we all know the quality won’t be the same. So what’s the real solution? Well Touchscreen Tablets may just do the trick.
