It's Spring!
The first day of spring is a memory even though winter weather continues in the Chicago area. The colder than average temperatures are inching upward as time rolls forward through March. The distractions offered once warmer weather arrives are held at bay, giving us more time to review our website.

Networking and Website Connection
Business professionals who attend networking events and meetings sponsored by local chambers of commerce and other organizations periodically are given the opportunity to hear the latest tips on networking and to brush up on their networking skills. Before we leave the event, we are reminded that our time spent at the networking event will be wasted unless we actually follow-up afterwards by contacting those individuals with whom we would like to build a relationship.

Business websites assist in the decision whether to pursue future business relationships by providing additional current information about our products and services through this virtual window into our business. During follow-up, business cards are processed to capture contact information for immediate use and for storage in a database. The business card containing a url offers easy access to additional information to aid in the decision to explore a business relationship.

It is in your business' best interest to make sure your website address is readily available on your business cards, brochures, and other materials handed out at events or sent to clients for the benefit of your current and future business relationships.

Our Updated Website Highlights
It was time to review the Ledonia website, revise some content and introduce a new appearance. The highlights of our new website are listed below.

• Flash movie now occupies the heading and gently displays the main services that Ledonia provides to small business owners. Words appear into and out of view softly and then come to rest.
• Interesting photos offering great color.
• Home page demonstrates a techique that allows the image to be updated without re-displaying the entire web page.
• More cascading style sheet (CSS) usage is used for easier maintenance.
