  • 2 New Websites Launched!!!

    Our client Premier Land Survey, LLC needed a fast, easy and great looking website. We delivered a great looking site and helped this start-up get off the ground.

    My client is an amazing author and artist.  He wanted a website where he can sell his products.  Our easy to use, top of the line ECommerce solution was a great fit.





  • Working on Overcoming for Life Ecommerce Website

    We are soooo excited about our online store.  Our first client to use the store is www.overcomingforlife.com

    This site is still in production, but we will keep you updated.  Feel free to visit the site and see the progress.


  • It's HERE... fully Integrated Online Store

    It's HERE!!! This is the easiest online store on the market!


    First and foremost, we've officially launched "The Store," a revolutionary integration of robust functionality seamlessly embedded into the user-friendly DesignCMS system. You can now add products right onto your pages alongside your blog elements, photo galleries, calendars and more. Any element in any region on any page has always been our approach and the store fits right into this model.

    The DesignCMS Store is a complete ecommerce solution built right into your New Creation Design website. The store lets you create products, organize them into product listings across your site, and provide your users with a seamless, secure shopping cart and checkout experience. Its powerful backend management system helps you fulfill orders and communicate with customers. The store is more than just a new feature, it's like a whole new product. You can find out more about the store on our new store page here on our website and the new store help section in the New Creation Design User Guide.

    We want to emphasize that this launch is only the beginning. There's much more ahead for the store. Even as we've been wrapping up this launch, we've also been planning our next steps. We've got several major updates on the way, including a groundbreaking, fully-integrated solution for the sale of downloadable goods. Plus, we'll be enhancing the store's shipping capabilities with real-time Fedex and UPS tie-ins, and much more.

    Launching an online store just wasn't enough, so we're also rolling out a lot of other great things today as well.

    We've added twelve new designs themes to the built-in New Creation Design CMS design gallery. These new designs are built specifically for sites centered on e-commerce. As always, our designs are free to use as is or to be modified to your needs. Check out the following new designs in the gallery:

    • Antiquarian
    • CanoeHut
    • Clear & Concise
    • Collars & Cuffs
    • Electrode
    • GuloBoy
    • NuFood
    • Portmanteau
    • PowerTap
    • Simple Side
    • Smoke
    • Zeloni

    In the next few weeks, we'll be rolling out a new, improved design viewer. The new viewer looks great and is much better at helping the user sort through our available free designs. 

    This is an exciting day for us -- one of the biggest days in the history of our product and our company. 

    Alright, enough said. Now go check out the store and let us know what you think!   If you are interested in hearing more about our amazing Content Management Websites...contact us today!

Should I blog?

Why should I blog? An article by Element Fusion

When we talk to small businesses, we often find they're not too interested in "blogging." But, if we ask them about posting articles or news stories on their site, they are generally very interested in that. The truth is that blogging is nothing more than consistently posting articles on your site. Perhaps the term "blogging" has acquired some connotations that aren't appealing to small businesses. Nonetheless, blogging, or whatever you want to call it, is something that all businesses should consider.

Impressive benefits

Blogging can help you get results from your company website by doing the following:

1.     Establishing you and your business as an authority in your areas of expertise.

2.     Encouraging your site visitors to return often because of your regularly updated content.

3.     Building a dedicated readership for your content through RSS syndication.

4.     Making search engines pay attention to your regularly updated, keyword-rich content.

5.     Giving you a more personal voice through which to speak to your clients and customers.

6.     Encouraging your customers to talk back and interact with your website by leaving comments.

These are just a few of the key benefits of blogging on your company site. So, what does it take to make it work?

Slow and steady wins the race

Content is key. If you want to be successful blogging, you have to commit to generating new content regularly. My recommendation is that you post one new article per week to start. Even if you think you can post more, hold yourself back to one per week and see how it goes. You'll discover that it's harder than you think to generate new content every single week, but if you can do it, it well worth the time invested. A consistent, steady stream of quality content is all it takes to be successful blogging.

What should I write about?

You can post anything you want to share with the world. Here are a few ideas:

1.     News about your company

2.     Official company announcements

3.     "Get to know you" articles about employees

4.     Opinions on events or happenings in your industry

5.     Commentary on articles that others have written

6.     "How to" articles to help your clients and customers

7.     Posts featuring pictures of your company activities or employees

8.     Posts soliciting feedback from your customers, encouraging them to speak back to you in the comments.

9.     Information about giveaway and other special promotions

How do I get started?

You need do-it-yourself content tools in order to blog successfully. Your website needs to be running on a platform that has blogging built right in. With a weekly flow of new content, you need the ability to post articles yourself. If your site is already running on one of New Creation Design's content management systems, you're all set. If not, or if you need help getting started, just let us know and we'll be happy to talk with you more.
