The thought of starting a website project can be daunting. Many organizations know their website could use some help, but where does one even begin?
Good news! Your new website project…
…doesn’t have to be confusing.
…doesn’t have to stress you out.
…doesn’t have to be expensive.
Creating great websites is only half of what I do here at Web Logic Now. The most important half involves crafting a smooth and pleasant process for you.
I understand that not everyone is a big nerd like me, so I avoid using overly-technical terms. I’ll walk you through each step with simple, clear language – making it a breeze for us to create a plan for your website.
You may not need a complete website redesign – maybe you just need us to breathe life into a site that is outdated. Whatever your situation, it’s worth your time to let us do a free consultation, don’t you think? You’ll be surprised how easy we make it.

You already know we make great websites. Heck, there are thousands of talented companies out there that also make great websites. So what makes us different? Smart question.
As you probably already know, the two most basic questions you might ask are “How much will it cost?” and ”How long will it take?” Our answers will blow you away… but not because we’re the cheapest or the fastest.
Let me tell you a secret. Our goal is not to make cheap websites as fast as possible. That would be silly.
Instead, our goal is to price our work fairly while clearly communicating the “why”. What do I mean by “communicate the why?”
We communicate the ‘why’ by clearly explaining what our price includes and what timeline the project will follow. It’s really an amazingly easy process. It goes like this:
- You email us and explain the basics of your website needs.
- We put together a one-page document that provides a project outline, estimated fee, and estimated timeline.
- If needed, we revise the document together — then get started!
It feels nice knowing exactly what to expect, doesn’t it? You might even have fun following along with project timeline.
Below is the timeline we’re following for a recent project.
Let’s see… today is February 22nd so according to this chart I should be working on the database build. Better get back to work!

Friends of Web Logic Now,
We are changing as a company – growing up. We’ve moved from a scrappy team of Purdue students to a robust web media company. But growth is not our main goal. In fact, we’re refocusing on two main goals.
Two tickets to Happyland please
When we get the chance to provide web services for a company, we don’t like to think of them as “clients” or even as “customers” — we prefer to think of ourselves as partners. That is – your goals become our goals, and our skills come together as we co-create something amazing on the web.
One
Which leads me to the first (and main) focus: making you, our partner, happy. We do this by being available, exceeding your expectations, and having fun while we do it! Making you happy is our core goal. All projects and tasks originate from this core goal. Read More
Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are great for amassing connections… but do these connections create and maintain true friendships?
Some say social media connections are just too easy these days – and have lost meaning.
Are digital connections, such as being “friends” on Facebook, actually real friendships? Or, as some argue, are digital connections actually taking away from time spent interacting with good, old-fashion, face-to-face friends?
A new study by email marketing firm ExactTarget suggests that while a few people miss out on real-world interactions because of excessive Facebooking and Twittering, most are actually meeting more face-to-face thanks to these social tools.
ExactTarget says that 27% of Facebook users meet friends in person more, while only 13% meet them less. And looking at Twitter, the results are even more pronounced – 46% meet friends in person more and 7% meet them less. Hence, social recommendations can quickly turn into real world ones too.
What do you think?
Do you use social platforms to create face-to-face interactions? Or do you find yourself easily getting lost in the digital world?
If you are curious about how social media platforms might help you create more real connections, email (drew@weblogicnow.com) or call (317-340-9715) me anytime.
Do you sell a product or service on the web?
This is the simplest, most effective, absolute best rule for turning your website visitors into customers.
The single most powerful rule for turning website visitors into customers sounds absurd at first. It goes like this:
Are you trying to sell to first time visitors? Don’t. Instead, capture their interest.
Asking first-time visitors to buy makes them feel flustered. It forces them to make a hard decision (whether or not to part with their hard-earned money!). It makes them feel uneasy and rushed – and they’ll look straight for the back button.
Instead ask them to make a soft decision. Say, “This is the value of what I offer. Are you interested?” Then ask for their name and email address. Do not ask for their postal address, cell phone, and favorite color. Keep it simple, easy, and nonthreatening. Read More
Short answer: yes
However: It doesn’t have to be time consuming and you don’t need to write every day (or even every week).
Blogging is essential for 3 main reasons. The first is that it keeps your website fresh – search engines like fresh.
The second is that it lets your website visitors know you are alive. There are millions of out dated websites – having signs of life on your site lets people know you are available. It encourages visitors to engage.
The third is that it focuses you. By taking a few minutes to write a short note to your website users, it makes you stop and consider what they care about. It also helps you to focus on the website in general – is it helpful and relevant or does it need a bit of attention? Read More
