3PRIME has begun work for Satellite Sounds Recording, a New Haven recording studio. We have started basic website optimization for the recording studio’s site. And in addition to this we also interviewed the studio’s owner, Doug Slawin, and published an article based on our discussion. The article is called 4 Critical Preparations before your Recording Studio Session and it’s a great starting guide for someone who’s about to take some studio time.

If you’re in need of studio quality audio recording done in their studio or on location, then check out SatelliteSoundRecording.com.

Through one of our long-time clients, mystery shopping company Coyle Hospitality Group, we had an opportunity to meet a new business. Coyle and Elite Investigations of Las Vegas are partnering to offer mystery shopping services in Nevada, so we created a mystery shopping service page for them.

However, the owner of Elite Investigations, Jon Girard, was no longer in touch with the web company he used over a decade ago. Through his trust in Jim, Jon, decided to put his faith in us and worked to provide us with the necessary access to take a look under the hood. We had the page added in under one hour.

We can store your information in case you need it, or in case you need to change it! 3PRIME has provided website management for diverse companies, using a variety of hosting and registrar services and with all manner of individual histories.

This was important for MBZ because it allows them to communicate special deals and opportunities to their client base as they become available. Read the rest of this entry »

There are some great options for adding eCommerce to an existing website but all involve a variety of considerations

1) How many products are you selling? If it’s just a few, you can skip custom cart development and use PayPal buttons. Make a great product page, and get the code from Paypal. No worries about security certificates and it’s easy to add new products just by adding new pages and generating new buttons. The major downside of this is that there is no “customer management” built into the website and PayPal’s merchant fees are high on a per-transaction basis. But it is by far the easiest way to set up eCommerce on a site. We also set up a payment page for consultants so their clients can pay online through their website.

I ran into this issue for someone this week when cleearing out issues from Google webmaster tools. specifically I was trying to remove the problem of duplicate descriptions for web pages from their blog posts. here’s what All-in-One-SEO has for the meta description setting:

Here’s what I wanted it to do:

But what it did was put add this text to the beginning of my meta description tag!

I tried several other combinations, no luck. so I contacted the plugin developer and said:

Referring to this thread:
I have a client using this plugin, the free version, and I cannot get the meta description in posts to display the %post_title%. I was wondering if this bug was fixed in the pro version.

In their second response I gleened the following solution! Put this as your description:

And Viola! My post title, pulled in using the variable “%wp_title%” is included in my meta description. Thanks Semper Fi Web Design, great plugin and valueble support responses!

Videos are somewhat of a recent phenomenon but anyone who’s a fan of them know that they’re really hard to stop playing once you get started. There are plenty of reasons for this, many are immersive and are the perfect escape from realty. Others feed off of people’s natural competitive nature with scoreboards and incentives like achievements, rewards and badges. The reason games are so appealing is rooted deep in human psychology and there has been a recent trend to take advantage of this called gamification.

The definition of Gamification taken from Wikipedia: the use of game design techniques and mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences. This is the idea behind Foldit. It’s a game which researchers have developed in order to enlist the help of gamers in deciphering the structure of a key protein in the development AIDS. It’s a structure which scientists haven’t been able to identify for years but now have thanks to the online game Foldit. And it only took gamers three weeks to come up with the answer. This is a great story of games being used to solve real world problems and you can read more about Foldit here.

A few days ago WordPress announced that they had been hacked. Someone was able to gain deep access into several of the company’s servers which holds information of their VIP accounts. We’re talking the big boys like TechCrunch and CBS. The unknown hacker could now have access to sensitive information like Twitter and Facebook passwords. So you can imagine how much trouble could come of this.
