On Guard Fire Protection was a client we picked up to modify the website from a previous Web Designer who had not finished. While the previous web designer did a great job, there were several things the clients wanted changed from the design.

We also set the website up in such a way that it will be easy for the clients to add their own content in the future and have it flow with the rest of the website…. Continue Reading

Understanding aperture, shutter speed, and ISO should be the first thing every new photographer learns. Being aware of how they work together will not only help in getting proper exposure in a shot, but will also lend to different artist options you might want to make as a photographer. For instance, let’s assume you’re taking a picture of a waterfall. Do you want to see each speck of water as it splashes on the rocks, or would you prefer the water look more like a steady and smooth rush as it passed over the rocks? Or maybe you’re taking a portrait. Do you want everything in the picture in focus, or just the person you’re photographing where the background is a smooth blur?… Continue Reading

It seems today that the first thing everyone asks about is social media accounts as if it adds legitimacy to someones business or website.

It’s important to understand the difference between the two as both have pros and cons depending on what you’re planning to do. That also means having at least a very basic understanding of how the internet works…. Continue Reading

Pay per click marketing can be scary. A lot of people shy away from it because they’ve heard horror stories of large costs without making anything in return. Usually the stories they hear though are from people that attempted pay per click without understanding how it works and the different ways to minimize losses.
