Facebook ContestWell, here’s your chance. This kind of contest doesn’t come around too often so you better get taggin’ as time is running out!

Today we launched a contest on Facebook in which you can win 2 hours of FREE (yes, I said FREE) web site and social media consulting with our two co-founders Tamara Brooks & Brenda Cadman. Plus, with your help, a friend can possibly win an additional consulting session too – thanks to you!

All you have to do is join our Facebook Page, play the “Grab a Round” game and tag yourself and a friend on a summer beverage to enter. It’s that simple. All names will be put into Random.org and it will spit out two winners. Oh, and only 30 people can be tagged on the photo so you’d better hurry up and tag yourself before the contest ends!

The iPad Arrives!

ipad-accessories The iPad arrives in Canada and around the world today – is your website designed to work on it? Not only should you be considering how your website looks on standard internet browsers and smart phones, you now also need to think about how good it looks on the iPad.

If your website has been designed with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and is on the 960 grid system then you should be good to go! (Ask your webmaster if you don’t know the answer.) iPads will show your website in landscape and portrait modes so having a fluid layout (fluid means a layout that shrinks or grows according to the browser size but with a minimum width size) could be a really good function to have.
