Your Way to a Professional Website: To DIY or Not to DIY, That Is the Question
There is a time and place for everything, there are fixes and do it yourselfers that are best left to the professionals.

Is Your Domain Name the Digital Asset Most Important To You?
Ceci and I moved this past weekend, along with our small tribe: Little Ruben, Santiago, Adan, Carmela, and Joaquin. You can probably imagine why we moved. We were running out of room!
