It’s important when posting online to have imagery. Photos & graphics provide interest and lend a new level to your work. When looking for stock imagery online don’t land yourself with a lawsuit because you didn’t pay for the image license. You can use websites like pixabay.com and unsplash.com to get free, high resolution images.

It’s the subject of the week for the United States. What would you do if you won the lottery? With the Powerball jackpot prize currently at 1.5 Billion dollars, and increasing every hour as more and more people rush to buy their tickets (hey, someone has to win, right?!) we’ve all caught ourselves dreaming about what we would do if we had the winning ticket. So, what would the Turbine Digital team do if they won?

“If I had to make a list:
TINA.
KAROLE.
“Pay off my student loans of course! Buy a modest house with a nice backyard for my dog to run around in. Fix my Grandmothers house up in Hawaii, hello vacation home. Take a vacation TO Hawaii and eat all my favorite foods. Spoil my loved ones since I’m lucky they put up with me. I’d probably buy some rental properties so I could keep making money, but then focus on a retirement home for dogs and cats whose owners have passed away.”
What would you do if you won the jackpot?
On November 19th, 2015 Jason hosted a roundtable discussion as part of an NSAE presentation. He touched on many subjects, from websites to digital marketing. One thing quickly became clear: when it comes to websites, it’s easy to get a little confused. So, straight from Jason himself, here are your WebSite Best Practices:
There you have it, Jason’s top tips for Websites. Want to hear more? Just give us a call! 🙂
Hosting of websites is an area that continues to evolve. Websites require security updates and maintenance on an ongoing basis. We at Turbine Digital have partnered with Binary, Inc. to offer you the best hosting services available. Binary Inc, is a locally owned company based in Lincoln, NE. We have already begun this transition and it should be completed within the next 30-60 days.
If your website is currently hosted with Turbine it will be moved onto Binary’s. Once your site is moved you will begin to receive invoices from Binary, Inc. rather than Turbine Digital. Please be aware that you may see an increase in the cost, but you will also see an increase in the services you receive.
Binary, Inc. will provide the following services:
FTP/Cpanel Server Access
Backup Services Daily – rotated every 30 days
24/7 Up time monitoring of site
wordpress/drupal software updated once a month
DNS Hosting Services
As always, thank you for trusting Turbine Digital as your digital marketing and web design resource.
Flashback to just a few years ago, do you remember? A time when we couldn’t pull out our phone to answer every question we could possibly come up with.
The world has progressed far past that point now, and Google has taken notice. If your site isn’t Mobile Friendly, then you’re S.O.L. when it comes to Google Mobile Searches. Luckily, we at Turbine are here to help. Here are some tricks and tips to being considered Mobile-Friendly by Google:
As sad as it seems, all we can talk about lately is the weather! Finally being able to get outside (without hating everything) is such a relief, and a distraction! It seems every year during these first few days of wonderful weather it’s impossible to focus on work. Here’s our tips for enjoying the season (so you can get back to being productive!):
Use a windowsill and plant some seeds in a small pot. An easy project that’ll bring some new life to your office.
Lunch break, afternoon break, any break. Taking a few minutes to stretch your legs and get some fresh air is always refreshing. Plus, you can get some more steps in on your FitBit 😉
Okay, so it’s not quite warm enough to do that yet. We’re guilty of trying (and freezing our toes off) for some fresh air.
Most coffee shops have a patio with power outlets and wifi. In our industry, that’s about all we need to work somewhere. Working on paper? Trying bringing everything you need and spending an hour in the sun, or scheduling your next meeting there. Everyone will be a little happier getting some Vitamin D in.
Be it grass, flowers, or whatever else reminds you of Spring. Change your desktop picture! It will be a nice surprise whenever you close all your windows (as if that ever ACTUALLY happens).
The latest stats show that 32% of data shared on mobile traffic is coming from YouTube and Facebook. Is your business on social media? If you don’t think social media is for you, think again…
We thought we’d take some time today to address some common questions and issues that arise with Facebook business accounts. Here are the top three – straight from the developers and customer service at Facebook!
A Facebook Page may exist for your business even if you or someone else from your business didn’t create it. This happens for a variety of reasons. For example, when someone checks into a place that doesn’t already have a Page, a new Page is created to represent the location.
If you’re the official representative of an organization, business, celebrity or brand and someone else has created a Page for it, you can report the Page. If no one is managing the Page, you can request to claim it. From the Page you want to claim:
Allow up to one week for your request to be reviewed. If your request is accepted, you’ll become an admin of the Page.
Once you’ve claimed your Page, you may be able to merge it with any duplicate Pages that you have. The Pages must represent the same thing and have similar names to be eligible for merging. If the Pages have physical locations, make sure the addresses are the same.
If you’re a manager-level admin of both Pages, you may be able to merge them. This option is only available for Pages that represent the same thing and have similar names.
To merge your Pages:
The people who like your Pages and check-ins will be combined, but all other content such as posts, photos and the username will be permanently deleted from the Page you merge. Content on the Page you want to keep will remain unchanged, except for the addition of people who like your Page and check-ins that were merged from the other Page. The Page you don’t want to keep will be removed from Facebook, and you won’t be able to unmerge it.
Note: If you don’t see the option to merge your Pages, it means that your Pages can’t be merged at this time.
To add an admin to your Page, you have to be a manager-level admin. To add an admin:
The new admin can accept or reject the admin invite by going to facebook.com/pages and clicking Invites at the top. Depending on their settings, they may also receive a notification or an email.
