OmniSpear To Offer New Website Maintenance Services

OmniSpear offers Website Maintenance Services in packages with non-expiring maintenance hours for organizations that require website maintenance, content revision and updating services but don’t want the expense and commitment of a staff position.

A Flexible Solution to Website Maintenance

Our Website Maintenance Services packages have non-expiring hours which carry over month to month until used up. This is the perfect solution for any firm that isn’t sure how much maintenance help they will need. Website maintenance services can be purchased in increments of 2, 5, 10, 15 or 20+ hours. The more you purchase, the more you save.

Peace of Mind – the Expert Way

We are Internet experts – Internet is all we do. Since 2001, we’ve created and maintained more than 200 websites. Our Design team keeps abreast of new internet technologies and trends; we can offer a range of advanced skills and expertise not possible if you hired an employee Webmaster. Website revisions can be easily and quickly displayed back via a private Web address known only to you for you to view at your convenience.

Once the revisions have been approved, then we load the revised files onto your hosting server. We currently handle website maintenance projects this “wired” way for clients in Canada, United States and Europe.

The Simple and Easy Website Maintenance Solution

We make website maintenance a simple, stress-free experience. You will be assigned a single contact person who knows you and your project – you won’t be shuffled around and have to start at square one explaining your project and needs. OmniSpear prides itself on providing personalized custom service – it’s the reason so many of our clients have been with us long term.

Our multi-step quality control process ensures that your website gets the attention to detail and accuracy that is essential for your site’s success. Communications are easily handled with e-mail, fax and telephone. You can expect to receive a telephone or email reply with production timelines from our team within 24 hours from receipt of your website maintenance request during our normal business week of Mon-Fri. We always try to accommodate any rush or emergency changes from our clients.

No Billing Surprises

Client’s don’t like surprises on their invoices, that’s why we’ve designed a system that keeps you up to speed with what we’re doing and how long it’s taking. You will receive an email when a maintenance request has been received, who it’s assigned to, when it’s completed and most importantly how long it took to accomplish. All of these notifications are provided to you as they happen.

Should You Still Use Nofollow?

Eric Enge delves into how changes in the processing of nofollow attributions have caused concern among publishers. He details the impact of the changes, how they will affect your business, and ways to adapt your SEO strategy.

Enge believes that it may make sense to remove any onsite nofollows. “For example, if you nofollow all the links to your ‘About Us’ page, the link juice in those links is discarded,” he writes. It’s also important to remember that while Google took a new position and policy on nofollows, Yahoo and Microsoft haven’t moved forward and joined in.

Xobni plugin for Outlook makes email management a breeze

If you’re like me, the size of your Outlook data files are massive. The standard MS Outlook search is slow and not as user friendly as it could be.

My co-worker recently told me about Xobni, a MS Outlook plugin that speeds up search and a whole lot more. Best of all, it’s free for the basic version. Basic version features include:

- Lighting-Fast Search
- Find Attachments with Ease
- Threaded Conversations
- LinkedIn and Facebook integration
- Recent Conversations
- Email Analytics

The plugin interface is well designed and works as advertised and has saved me a ton of time already. Give it a shot.
