Here at Santiam Communications we use top of the line tools from hardware to software to get the job done right and provide a reliable service.

But sometimes what a job needs is just some new perspective. Working with web media every day, life is pretty much a two dimensional experience given the nature of the end product. Well, this tool gives us the ability to take a look at a website from top to bottom from side to side and even walk around behind the job. Kind of cool although not super practical. Come to think of it, getting a new perspective on things can be very practical. So, it’s a thumbs up here. See it in action in the screen-cast below:

Serving users in 10 different countries accessed the website over the weekend. Cool!

The traffic spike in the chart below shows a brief surge in visitors that occurred over the weekend for one of our websites. Using Google Analytics, we could see that most of the traffic was coming from Google search queries by other web developers looking for a solution for the problem. What happened was that at the end of the last week, we identified a problem and found a temporary solution that was beneficial to many other web developers. The website that saw the spike in traffic (from 10 different countries) had been optimized for search engines and integrated with social media. As a result, Google offered the post as a relevant source for those searching for a solution. We can honestly say we helped people around the world over the weekend.

Benefit of a search engine optimized website.

We’d like to help you pull together the right technology so that when opportunities like above come your way, you are ready to benefit from a functional web presence. You not only will need a website that is easy to read, navigate, and publish to but also have it search engine optimized and integrated with relevant social media. With just your laptop, on a Saturday, at the right time, you should be able to pull the trigger on a post that can help your customers around the world.

Webcam Test – Oak and Main in Lebanon, OR.

What a beautiful day to test web cam and try out a “free” streaming service for a few hours. Now showing intersection at Oak and S. Main St outside of office. Nothing is for free so sorry about the commercials before the live feed starts. Will be trying out a couple different setups until we get one that feels right.
