However if that’s overwhelming, let’s make this easy. If you use Microsoft 365, Outlook, or Exchange for email like most of our clients do you should use the Microsoft Authenticator App.

Conversely, do you use Gmail for you email provider or Google Workspaces? Try the Google Authenticator.

Microsoft 365 iPhone Mail

Microsoft Outlook App Icon

Want your Microsoft 365 Mail on your iPhone? There’s plenty of great reasons to use Microsoft 365, so many that we will assume you’re already using it or you want to ask us how to set it up. One big trend we recommend to all our clients is being platform agnostic. So this means your technology should work everywhere you are. The good news is that many, in fact almost all of your Microsoft 365 Apps and services are available on your iPhone (demonstrated below) or Android phone. You can also use the Outlook App too if you are fine with having it in a separate App.

Website Development

Web Dev Simpler, Quicker, Affordable

The web does everything these days. It’s where we work, it’s where we meet new people, it’s where we plan what to do with those people, we buy them gifts there, we get paid there, we get our entertainment media and news there, we educate ourselves there.

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Basically the web does everything, everywhere, all at once.

Everything Everywhere All At Once Movie Poster

Well not exactly like the movie, but that’s still a lot. Maybe sometimes, too much. And when you get the bill for it all, you might realize it’s best not to buy something you didn’t need or want in the first place.

So You’re Not Making the Next Killer App

Most small to mid-sized businesses and organizations aren’t making the next Instagram or TikTok. In fact I’d dare say all of you are looking for something else that isn’t that scale. You may want a website for your organization to gain respect in your community and encourage volunteer participation. You may have a business that needs a sleek website that looks great and loads faster on all devices. You may have a related side project that you want to advertise on your personal domain. Those are all very valuable projects for your work, but none reach the complexity of a web app like Facebook or TikTok.

Sticker Shock

At a recent high school reunion I spoke with friends who asked about what I did and followed that with questions about web design. They had mentioned an entrepreneurial project and the desire to have a website for it. They casually inquired about pricing and I mentioned that most websites start at around $7,000 for anything you’d actually want the finished product of.

Yikes! If this is your first time seeing that in writing or hearing a quote welcome to the sticker shock club. But this is a decent competitive starting price for a very simple website. There’s just too much complexity for most these days that keeps their costs raising up. If you are a startup, a non-profit organization, or a small business you ma have that need with nothing near that budget.

What if I Told You There’s Another Way?

Website development done simpler and affordable is possible.

Let’s face it: most people only need or want static web sites with a design that supports their marketing profile to communicate important information online. And you don’t need a fancy Content Management System (CMS) or dynamic web app (ie: facebook.com) to do that. But you do want your site to load fast and put your best impression online.

What if I also told you we can help you with a great looking lightning fast website that’s also around a third of the cost of the lowest quote you’ll get from anyone else?

We won’t get into all the nitty-gritty here, so here’s the overview:

  • Cut out all that stuff you don’t need anyways
  • Using Hugo SSG for themes and templates to quickly generate simpler and elegant sites
  • Automating deployment of content directly from the developers’ machine to the live web
  • Don’t worry about complex database management, fewer footholds for hackers to get in

Security Checkpoint Google Passkeys get us all one step closer to our goal from earlier this year to have secure simple sign ins.

Annoyed by passwords? Yeah we are too. What if I told you there’s already something better. It’s both more secure and easier to use? What is this magic? Simple, they’re called Passkeys and we highly recommend you use them with your Google account as we show here.

How is this even possible? Well you can see what we said earlier this year about Passkeys, or go right to the source who’s developing them.

In short, Passkeys use your computer or smartphone device’s built-in security along with a biometric face or touch scan to make more secure multifactor authentication. So forget reusing your pet Fluffy’s name to protect important data. You weren’t still doing that right? Right?

Security Checkpoint Google 2SV

Enable Google 2SV for Multifactor Authentication

Security Checkpoint Google 2SV can be enable for proactive protection on your Google account.

Google’s 2 Step Verification or Multifactor Authentication adds another layer of security to your Google account that will prevent more hacking attempts than simply using a password.

As we covered previously, authentication is proving you are who you say you are. Therefore, doing it several ways gives us a higher degree of confidence it’s actually you not some unauthorized punk snooping around.

Like other authentication systems it can be: something you know, something you have, or something you are. In the case of Google 2SV we are using a password (something you know) and a smartphone authenticator app or yubikey (something you have).
