Blogs are extremely popular today. To begin with, they offered their authors the ability to express themselves and share what is happening in their personal lives. However, they have come to serve numerous business functions as well. A business can keep customers informed about current happenings within the company from the release of new products to new services being offered. Blogs are also a great way for companies to promote sales, specials and seasonal items.

Blogs can be used to teach your customers new skills and to simply keep your business in the forefront. A company that sales plants can use a blog to inform its customers about best planting practices, bulb storage, and preparing a new flower bed, while a movie theater can use a blog to inform clients about new movies being released and when they will be playing.

Our company uses a blog in many ways. We inform clients about computer threats to help protect them from viruses. We also keep them informed about specials, contests and new products or services.  Check out our [intlink id=”news” type=”page”]Current News[/intlink] to find out the latest happenings at BCO.

Good websites are constantly being updated and changed. Because of this, BCO has only been delivering sites with customized content management systems for the last several years. A content management system or CMS allows the client to log-in to their site and make changes to the content, save it and have it go live immediately. This provides a simple, no hassle, no wait experience with the information a site displays.

A CMS has many other advantages and can be made to handle a variety of tasks:

• Secure log-in
• Draft pages
• Scheduled campaigns
• Photo Galleries
• Newsletter Management
• Embedded video, audio and other media files
• On-line forms
• Design options
• Customer Interaction
• Comments
• Blogs
• Sitemap Generation
• Calendars
• Search Engine Optimization
• Ads
• and so much more

The menu in any website is one of the most critical components. If your customers can’t find what they are looking for, then they will look elsewhere. It is our goal here at BCO to make every website we design not only beautiful but easy to locate pertinent information on. We rely on the old adage “Don’t make me think”…The less the customer has to think about where the information is, the more time they have to read the content.

We use a variety of navigation methods to make this happen:

• Side menus
• Horizontal Menus
• Drop-down Menus
• In-line links
• Breadcrumbs
• Link lists
• Flash Menus
• Buttons

Display current weather information for any city directly on your website. There are a variety of sizes and styles available from small to large (as the one displayed below).  Options are available not only for weather, but sunrise, sunset and other information. These are great for real estate sites and any site displaying information about an area.

We can create PDF files to link to your site when you need to provide your customers with print ready forms and documents. We can also create fill-in forms where your customers or employees can fill-in the PDF file on their computer & fax or email it to you directly. We use Adobe Acrobat Professional for top quality results.

PDFs are great for….

• Membership Applications
• Employment Applications
• Restaurant Menus
• Help Documents
• Calendars
• Brochures
• Fliers
• Reports
• Receipts
• eBooks
• and more
