The Garden Approach to Website Management
In today's market, the more dynamic and professional your website is, the easier it is for a potential customer to get a sense of your business via its accessibility and responsiveness.
In the past, your web designer might have been the only one working on your website. But with today's technologies and expectations, you as business owner, content contributor, or marketer can have an expanded, active role in posting information on your website.
The garden is an appropriate metaphor for websites. Websites can be seen as living and breathing things based on the interactivity they can foster. They are virtual gardens that you stake out and refer to by domain. And you, the owner of your site, can be the gardener.
The following series of articles discuss some website gardening techniques. The articles are oriented towards the business owner or marketing professional who doesn't necessarily have a web development background.

When to DIY and When to Call the Pros
We are pleased to have taken part in a panel discussion covering this topic at Lake Communicators. We are following up with several blog posts coming out of this discussion. Consider the following:
What is the ideal situation for managing a web presence?
- You are a very large corporation with a huge budget for websites and you can afford to pay a team to implement your social media, have a huge website with multiple articles posted daily, and your website looks really interesting and professional and is easy to navigate.
- If reduced to a single person: the best person implementing a complete website would be an artist who can write well and does website development for a living...
A business owner who is cramped for cash might consider some DIY web strategies...

"I am a Certified Specialist in Family Relations Law with a sole practice in Chardon and Ravenna. Before I hired Lake Network to create a website, I had one full time secretary as my only employee, and a fairly busy practice. The website was created in 2008, and I almost immediately began to see results.
"A number of people have mentioned that my website is unlike those of other attorneys. It is easy to see the extra care that went into designing the site to capture my philosophy about my work, and my commitment to providing information desired by individuals facing difficult family problems.
"Several months after the web site was launched, the workload from new clients caused me to hire a part time paralegal to assist with the paperwork. My paralegal is now a full time employee, and we may need to hire additional help in the near future.
"The website has paid for itself many times over in the form of additional business. My only regret is not having contacted Lakenetwork years ago."

"As a start-up business in a very limited market, we would not have survived without the expertise of Lakenetwork web site development. In less than two weeks my business was in the top three listings on three of the most popular search engines. Without Lakenetwork I would still be making cold calls instead of supplying my services to paying customers."
