How to Build In-House Expertise for Mobile

Q: How do I go about building in-house development expertise for mobile-optimized websites and applications?

A: Mobile-optimized websites and apps have the potential to change how and when businesses interface with their customers. Yet they also require new thinking about engineering and visual aesthetics that are affected by such factors as the multitude of device operating systems and screen format options. Austin, Texas-based Mutual Mobile is one of many companies that provide outsourced application development for businesses, as well as consulting and support services to businesses that want to pursue in-house software development.

President, Jerry Van Houten

 As an investment advisor representative and financial planner, it didn’t take “rocket science” for Jerry Van Houten to know that being part of the MainStreetChamber is a very good investment.  Jerry believes the MainStreetChamber is a “value ad” to local city chambers and gives businesses a new dimension for their ROI (return on investment), as more is always better when it comes to customers for your business, and great exposure as well.

Jerry is a rare native ofCentral Californiaand has been actively involved in local city Chambers as an Ambassador, Director, and President.  He is a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) and founded REO Speech Train, a local Toastmasters club in Riverbank,California, and the Northern California Speaker’s Bureau.   Jerry owns American Asset & Wealth Management, a firm specializing in insurance and investments, and resides inOakdale,CAwith his wife Mia, his two sons Mathias & Lukas, three dogs, and two cats.

 As a chapter president of the Tri-County MainStreetChamber, it’s Jerry’s vision to be a part in growing our local economy, and keeping jobs right here in America by helping our local businesses connect with more customers.  The MainStreetChamber is a platform that offers a “value ad” to businesses that already belong to their local city Chamber, and a good start for those who don’t.

The Top 10 Business Plan Mistakes

It’s been nearly seven years since I posted Top 10 Business Plan Mistakes on this site. Looking back and reading the post again today, I think the list holds up very well. Still, I can’t resist making a few changes. So here is my revised version for 2012, incorporating what I wrote back then that still holds true.

Understanding Google's New Page Layout Algorithm

Google issued a new warning to webmasters that it is updating its algorithms again, this time targeting websites that choose to display ads that run above the fold -- that is, the section of a webpage visible without scrolling.

And before you start griping that Google just won't leave well enough alone, this change is a good thing for everyone who values accuracy and well-written content. What this latest algorithmic improvement does is cut out the riff-raff, leaving the door open for well-designed, high-quality pages that attract visitors with their content instead of various SEO tricks, ploys and greediness.

Here's what happened: Google began hearing complaints from users who said they were growing weary of having to scroll down a webpage past a forest of advertisements in order to find the content they were seeking in the first place. Consequently, as a result of the search engine's algorithm action last week, these ad-riddled sites might not rank as highly as they once did.
