Overnight Prints
I have gone through Overnight Prints for a long time. I print my business cards and postcards through them. I also recommend it for my clients, and have done most of my clients printing through them. In fact, I just got an email the other day from a client who said she got the postcards I designed and ordered for her and they were beautiful! If I have ever had problems with my order, Overnight Prints has always reprinted the cards with no problems. Their money back guarantee is the best.
IX Web Hosting
I have a long-time relationship with IX Web Hosting. It started when I worked with a client who had done research and wanted me to set up her site with IX. I did, and found IX very easy to work with. It was easy to sign up, and easy to manage the account. The control panel was also very intuitive, and there was a lot that I could control myself without having to wait for customer service help. I began to use it with many clients. In over 5 years, there was only a small window of time that I had problems with IX, actually with many of the websites that I had hosted through them for clients. The problems were eventually solved, and it seemed to have most to do with the fact that the company went through a move. Since they’ve settled, they have made many improvements and are now back to being the best hosting that I’ve worked with so far.
What Is Expression Engine?
Expression Engine is a leading edge, website content management system. It is well named because like a car engine it is the driving force behind your website and it allows you to utilize the multiple forms of expression available to you through the internet. Expression Engine can be used to power features that are integral to today’s websites such as email opt-in lists, blogs, content management, forums, shopping carts and so much more. It allows for the simple management of any kind of website. It is very flexible and can be sculpted to fit just about any need.
As a web developer and designer I use Expression Engine to create websites for my clients that utilize all the tools the internet has to offer. Expression Engine allows me to customize my clients’ websites to meet their specific needs without having to compromise my design. Once I am finished with the design and development of a site many of my clients choose to use Expression Engine’s content management tools to make changes and updates themselves. This is just one of the many reasons I think Expression Engine is the best website tool available today.
