DreamCo Design owner, Jay Correia, has been interviewed and quoted in multiple publications, including a Q4 2009 piece put out by TT News (Transportation News) involving web design and how it affects the transportaiton industry. Visit the TT News website or pick up the magazine for the full release.

DreamCo Design has done it again! We take pride in the amount of referrals, positive feedback, testimonials, and great customer comments we get and our hard work has recently been reflected in our A status with the Better Business Bureau.

DreamCo Design has come to be known as a web development company which can directly cater to just about any industry, including the one specified in the post above. In Q3 of 2009 DreamCo Design had elected to drop its advertising directed towards the adult industry minded clients.

It had been a previous practice of DreamCo Design to only approve certain projects subject to management approval based on the content, direction, and ideas behind the website however after annual meetings DreamCo Design has decided to drop the industry all together.

All pages on the DreamCo Design website which held any relation to the industry have been removed. This decision was made by owner, Jason Correia, based on his personal beliefs and the feedback obtained by the staff. The decision was made both on moral and business grounds being that the industry has a higher rate of return request and merchant issues.

Existing client’s of DreamCo Design, though very few, which have fallen into the industry remain hosted though not added to by our party.

George Washington. WTF!

What better way to summarize the feelings of our country in today’s day and age (majority speaking) when it comes to the bailout and congress’ approval rating. Fox News recently displayed poll numbers which showed the majority of citizens feel that the “tea parties” (which protest big money bailouts and a shopping list of other things) are well warranted.

At one of the rallies an individual was spotted with a print-out of President George Washington with the “WTF” blurb above him. Fantastic. In this age of SMS communication and shortened “l337 speak” there was no better match. Who said you couldn’t mix the old with the new.

Whether you are for or against the bailout of big banks, the stimulus package, or the ongoing tea-parties, the George Washington WTF sign is sure to bring a laugh to just about anyone. Chances are that is exactly how he would feel too.

Apparently people are already selling t-shirts and they seem like a hot buy. What better way to showcase your dislike for the crazy spending and decisions made by congress than with a George Washington WTF shirt.

OK. Enough is enough already. Sure, social networks are cool. Technology
is neat. The ability to communicate at an instant… awesome stuff! But do
we really need to “text”, “blog”, and now “tweet” our every thought and
feeling? Tweeting is stupid.

Great video to support my case:

I am still trying to figure out if people actually enjoy “tweeting” and
think people care or if they are just being paid money to do so.

Who the heck has time to “tweet” everything they do? Who wants to?
Never-mind reading “tweets”.

“Picking my nose right now, sitting on the toilet.”

Ok… and… your point?! Stop tweeting! I am sure there is going to be
some backlash for such a vented post and sure, there must be SOME positive
thing about the website. I guess if you want to know how Shaq is doing
while sitting on the bench at a basketball game, Twitter is the place to
go.

The poor internet is already plagued with time-wasting websites. There is
humor in certain aspects of it of course, nothing like watching a shrimp
on a tredmill VIA youtube if you get my point, but “tweeting” seems just
flat pointless.

Do people realize we are now just steps away from mounting a camera
harness on ourselves so someone can tune in and see what’s “streaming”?

Consider the idea on us, go ahead and take it to the bank! Let’s make a bracelet, point it at our face, and let it stream live! You won’t even need to type anymore! People could just tune in and watch/listen. But wait, that’s the whole thing… NO ONE WILL BECAUSE NO ONE CARES.

Really? Who has the time to look into what Shaq is doing while sitting on the bench. Who has the time and why would anyone care about what a celebrity is doing while sitting by a pool? Maybe all the recent layoffs have lead to the recent twitter spike. Rather than looking for a new job though, they are off “tweeting.”

Perhaps one day everyone will be able to look back and chuckle over the concept of blindly sending text message like statements out into space for someone to listen to. Reality TV, on-demand information, and the importance of being popular in our society have lead to this… GG!

Sorry twitter. Props for building a successful site, but what’s the point
again? It’s twitter open season and its time to put an end to tweeting.

These days, the biggest worry on everyone’s mind is the economy. Questions like:

- Will I lose my job?
- Where is my bailout?
- Can I get a loan?

Is common play at the dinner table. With every great fall though, comes a great rise. This time however, it seems as if banks and world leaders are trying to do anything they can from preventing the recession from getting worse by throwing money at the problem. Unfortunately though, that solution in itself might make a normal flux an epic nightmare and a punishment for our children.

So what industries are on the rise? Where is the investing taking place? What will be the business model that leads the next generation into a flourishing economy? Green technologies? Sure. E-commerce? Absolutely!

Hot looking online stores with more bells and whistles than ever before keep popping up each day (many thanks to DreamCo Design and of course, other great developers) and more and more cash seems to be getting dumped on the net. It makes sense though. Why spend $4.00 in gas to drive to your local Best Buy and get tempted to make a fast food stop on the way only to see overpriced merchandise (generally speaking) when you can find the same equipment online for hundreds of dollars less.

Sure. The argument of getting up off your “A##” once in a while makes sense but I rather spend my time at a park or something. Plus, saving money these days is important. Even in an age where we seem to be encouraging people to be irresponsible, being frugal still makes smart sense.

A website these days is like a store-front from the 1950s. People would walk by a place like Macy’s and give their “oohs and aaaahs” just by looking in the window, which in turn tempted them to step on in. The same still applies, just in a more modern fashion. The better your site looks, the more tempted the buyer is going to be to stick around and select that specific website as a trustworthy and reliable source.

In the 70’s, 80s’, and 90’s, mail order catalogs and flyers were big. Today, Google, Yahoo, & MSN service the world as the 3 largest “e-providers” of marketing, displaying at the push of a button anything you are looking for.

Out with the old, and in with the new… SEO.
So what does this all mean? E-commerce is alive and well. Now, more than ever is the time to invest in either:

A) Taking your business online

or

B) Developing a new internet based business.

Think of it like investing in real estate in Florida during the 1950’s. Sure, we missed the “oil rush” which would have taken place 50 years before that elsewhere (the dot com bubble @ the millennia turn) but man, the going is still good.

Sure, some internet based stores (especially those offering completely disposable cash type products) have seen some cuts, but all that means is they have to push harder for market share. In the end though, e-commerce does seem to be recession proof. At least for this recession that is.
