Many people ask if their website will show up when people do a search for “[Your Service] near me”, For example “Roadside service near me”. This is something that most users don’t quite understand. We do address this issue when we set up your Google Business page and we will set up the page after the design of your website is complete.

Over the last year David has been developing and testing new coding that offers a similar gallery experience without the addition of more programs. We normally suggest three images per puppy because every image added to a page can have an affect on loading time. Loading time is one of the primary criteria the search engines use to determine your ranking especially on mobile devices. Even if you decide to have us setup this new gallery on your site, we still suggest no more than five or six images per puppy. In the sample shown here, the thumbnail images under the main image will become smaller with the more pictures you have. Five seems to be a good number for aesthetic reasons as well as functionality.

To see a working sample of this new format along with other formats that we currently use, you can go to https://castlewoodstudios.com/a-new-type-of-gallery-available-for-your-website/.

In the past many of you have asked for a different type of photo gallery for displaying your puppies for adoption. Some of you have requested the type that is seen in many ecommerce shopping pages with one large image and several thumbnail images below the main image. We have resisted adding this, mainly because it would require adding even more programs to your website which in turn slows down the website and often creates a conflict with other programs. On the average, our clients’ websites have 12 additional programs attached to the primary platform. These programs are for various things like your Contact Form, Stripe or PayPal, SEO, Image optimization, etc.

You are probably aware that as of now over half of the states have practically shut down all non-essential businesses. What you may not be aware of is that the surge of people shopping online looking for products and services has gone through the roof. More than ever it is vital to have a good website where people can find you from the safety of their homes. We want you to know we are here to help you in any way we can.

Now is the time to take a few moments to write updated content for your website to address those that are still in need of your products or services but are very concerned about the situation we all find ourselves in. Here are a few things to consider:

Send us text for your website that lets people know you are aware of their situation and the things you can do to help them.

Consider shooting a short video on your phone and uploading it. People have more time to watch things like this and we can help you post your videos and we can embed those videos on your website.

Consider taking credit card payments on your website with a Paypal or Stripe account (again we can help you with this).

Many of you have had us setup programs to have visitors to your website sign up with their email address but are not taking advantage of this. Sending an email now to all those who signed up is one of the best things you could do to remind them you are here for them.

For our clients who have restaurants or other similar businesses, if you are considering offering home delivery please let us know so we can help get that on your website and get the word out.

People have not stopped buying. They have just stopped going out. We have seen a huge surge in people buying products online from our clients and it is only going to continue to climb. We want to help you keep your business going as best as possible during the tough times.

I can't resist showing you some adorable new puppies a client just sent us to post on their website. They are English Cream Golden Retrievers and have a huge amount of "fluffability". Okay, I think I just made that word up. However, they are completely fluffy and lovable. Check this out!

Puppy Adoption USA ( https://puppyadoptionusa.com/ ) is the newest website we developed and it is very different than anything we have ever done! We are now managing so many websites for reputable dog breeders that we decided, at our own expense, to help bring them all together. This is a new classified website for people to post their puppies for sale. It also contains professionally written articles on things such as “How to Adopt a Puppy”, “How to Ship a Puppy” and “How to Potty Train a Puppy”. Please check it out.
