I am happy to follow up Danny Thornton's post from earlier today entitled Introducing R & D Management with this post that announces some exciting offerings from R & D Art. R & D Art is our website design, blogsite design, and banner and icon design venture. As both Danny and I feel that independent websites, blogsites, and branding through banners and icons is very important, we launched this venture on November 25, 2008 to meet that need.

The advantages of having your own website and blogsite are numerous. The biggest advantage that I see is that you have ultimate control over what does and does not appear on your site. Another huge advantage is that everything you write feeds into your SEO and drives business directly to you. With that said their is a huge caveat, you are the one responsible for driving your own business through writing quality posts, promoting those posts through the various FREE social medias that are available, and ensuring that your site uses the latest technological tools available. I think that having control and responsibility for your web presence allows you to be the one to decide just how far your business will progress on the web.

R & D Art definitely understands that technology changes very rapidly and that many professionals are much too busy to spend hours online trying to learn about all of these technologies. In an effort to help people understand the best practice uses of these changing technologies, R & D Art will begin offering one hour classes starting February 2nd. These classes are specific enough to cover the essential functions and effective uses of their subject. You can click HERE to get a complete list and description of the classes to be offered. This is your business, isn't it time to take control of it?
