It’s Mojo Time
Posted by Jessica in Agency Web News, Industry News, Local Search on August 21st, 2009
As we launch our sister company Local Mojo, we at AgencyWeb are extremely excited with all the hard work and dedication over the past year. We want to thank everyone who was apart of the team who made this all come to life.
The goal of Local Mojo is to allow small businesses to get more customers! Through the brainstorming, the creative process and the implementation of Local Mojo, this was our focus. Local Mojo allows small businesses to create an online presence without breaking the bank. Local Mojo allows small business owners to provide valuable information to its clients such as location with maps, hours of operation, services, payment options, background history and so much more. Small businesses can quickly and easily create a web page that is pushed to over 70 search engines so they will appear when their clients are searching for them. None of these elements just came together over night. It took many months of team meetings, brainstorming sessions, creative-wire-frames, site-maps, and research from different areas to master the needs, wants, and how to implement these elements that would be beneficial to both small business owners and their prospective clients.
Looking back and examining the process of Local Mojo, the most beneficial tasks as a team that we could have done was the brainstorming sessions, the creative-wire-frames and the usability testing. Although the brainstorming sessions may have lasted hours or even days, the outcome of the sessions were worth it. Sitting in a room and creating the flow of the site, deciding what elements would be most valuable, and how the site can be most beneficial to the user began the outline/skeleton of the site. Then came, the transformation of the outlined information from the brainstorming session into visual creative-wire-frames. The visual wire-frames hung on our office walls allowed AgencyWeb, to examine the flow and the design of the entire site before any programming/coding began. Once the wire-frames went through many revisions, and then approved, the programming/coding began. Once the site reached a certain point, we had usability testing with third-party users. We were happy to see that the users were able to easily and quickly build their site within 20 minutes with no major issues. These users ended the test surprisingly happy with a hassle free web site which was now going to get them more customers.
As Local Mojo is now live and ready for small business owners to create their Local Mojo Local Website for FREE! Local Mojo also has offers for those small business owners who wish to go beyond the basics.

Twitter program for Mac
Posted by josh in Uncategorized on August 3rd, 2009
I recently came across a program for my Mac that allows me to update and manage multiple twitter accounts. So far I love this program as it makes it easy to update without having to log in and out of twitter with different accounts that I update. The program is called Tweetie and is made by atebits. There is a free and a paid version of the app. The free version is supported by ads but are not annoying so that seems to be the way to go if you want to save a few bucks.

Overall Tweetie is a great application for the mac and I highly reccomend it.
