Seven Sages goes Green

Seven Sages goes Green. Well, not solar panel, reduce some footprint made of carbon thingy. This is just upgrading our SSL certificate to an SSL EV Certificate, which verifies that this website is absolutely, positively, Seven Sages, LLC.

Graphic Designer Portfolio

A friend and design associate, Judith Noisi, has updated her online portfolio. (Something I need to do eventually)

Jude's websites are created using hand coded CSS incorporating tableless designs, JavaScript and XHTML. For best browser compatibility and to ensure compliance with web standards, all of her sites are tested using the W3C HTML and CSS validator.

Lawyer Website in transition

Sometimes, hosting a website with a service that 'specializes' in your field may not be the best choice. I have been helping a friend optimize her Law Office website - JAMendelsohnLaw.com.

A few recent finished projects

A busy few months. Mostly older sites needing re-design and optimization. RPT, Twinstar, Yvonne LaFleur. Some big, some small.

Joomla Help

Joomla is a powerful tool. It can make a website much easier to manage, especially large websites, but it may also take a little bit of learning. Not everyone can expect to just pop a site up and know what to do, just like you can't just pop someone behind the wheel of a truck and expect them to drive it well.

Stick to the Basics First in Joomla

If you are new to Joomla, stick with the basics first. How to add/edit content, and add/edit menus. Then maybe take a look at Components and Modules. Do not add a bunch of extensions in while you are learning the basics. Keep it Simple. Add/Edit. Only when you are comfortable with the simple should you look to learn more. Below are a few helpful sites with tutorials, themes, and extensions:

This website needs restructuring.

Yes, I admit. This SevenSages.com website is not as organized as it should be. Even I can't find info that I know exists. It's the curse of being too busy to take care of your own place. Like the Landscaper who has the worst looking lawn in the neighborhood.

Sage Backup Software upgraded

Download the new version of our MySecureBackup software for our Sage Backup Service. The new version (2.50b) is stable, secure, and allows for auto-update when a new version of the software is available.

Slight Price Increases

Some services have small increases in prices. As usual, all hosting accounts are locked-in to the price they initially started with. So those that started at $240/yr soooo long ago, will always stay at that price level.
