in customer service. This industry is incredibly competitive and in our opinion there’s only one, maybe two ways, to stay ahead of the competition and get (keep) your very valuable business:
1 – the best customer service in the business (web design, seo, internet presence, internet marketing, etc.)
2 – superior product (WordPress websites, Joomla websites, SEO, etc.)
The Business Community Network has morphed into Client Profiles on our website – goto canadaweb.net and then Client & Portfolio/Client Profiles. The idea is to expand our own and our valued clients internet presence. It is still a work in progress but we welcome comments & suggestions.
So you decided to do it right. You hired a web design company, spent a pile of money and got yourself a very nice looking website. But the anticipated rush of new business didn’t come … you barely had any inquiries, right ?. So what’s wrong ? In 3 words: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or more precisely the lack thereof.
A website without SEO is like a having a car whose engine was never tuned – it may look good and even produce noise and exhaust but you’ll never win a race with it.
What’s to be done then ? Go to our dedicated SEO website to get an idea of all your site is missing and then call us at CanadaWeb.net and we’ll tune that engine on your non-SEO website.
There are a number of reasons for creating and maintaining a website :
While some of those are valid reasons, many people will be disappointed if that’s all the reasons they have to go online. For one thing, just having a website is just not good enough anymore. What is really required is best called an internet presence. This would include multiple domain names, more than one website, multi-media presence, on-going Search Engine Optimization and more.
But there’s another aspect of your website that’s often not appreciated by management (people who make decisions about these things) and that’s the role of your website (and online presence) to act like a sales assistance. Smart sales staff use the corporate website as a highly effective sales tool. Nothing works better than to point a potential (or existing) customer to the website for information about product and / or service with ready to download documents even while still on the phone. Your website should also be a resource for existing customers with documents, white papers, up-to-date product info, links to related websites (suppliers, manufacturers,etc.). For more about these points please contact us at (403) 291-9811 or (866) 291-3857.
We have been in business for quite a few years, first in the software field and now in Internet Services. I have been noticing a disturbing trend in the last few years: general laziness and a “couldn’t give a s..t” attitude by folks. This is probably not something affecting only this line of business but I suspect it goes on everywhere.
Here a few things that really pick my butt:
Communications Shutdown
It happens on a regular basis when someone we are trying to do business with, suddenly, inexplicitly and without explanation or warning simply shuts down communications. You can call, you can e-mail, you can text…whatever, nothing works. So you scratch your head and think: wtf, what planet were you hatched on ? – laziness and the above mentioned attitude.
Incomprehensible E-Mails
I’m not sure if these people never went to school or forgot everything they ever learned but either way, what they’re writing is literally incomprehensible. I mean what kind of gobbledeguk is this: everything all upper/lower case, no punctuation anywhere, no paragraphs, misspellings galore, utterly convoluted logic, etc. And many of these e-mails originate with (supposedly) highly educated folks. Again, it’s just laziness…come on, make a bit more effort and maybe I can lay off the full time translator/explanator we have on hire.
Effectiveness in a timely Manner
The thing about building a website is we require certain decisions to be made and information to be provided by our clients in a timely manner. Without going into the myriad of issues where this comes up, it always boils down to one thing: a client can make us wait days and even weeks to make a simple decision or provide a small piece of crucial information, that would require only minutes of their time. Problem: procrastination and laziness.

We at CanadaWeb Inc. are proud and excited at the launch of the Business Community Network. It’s NOT facebook and it’s NOT Linked In and should not be compared to either. The main purpose of this network is to facilitate business to business communications. The BCN does this by creating another presence on the internet for all members … and when it comes to internet presence, there’s no such thing as too much.
We are hoping to attract many new members primarily from commerce and industry – we are not looking for massage parlors, flower shops, bakeries, etc. CanadaWeb Inc. is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the heart of the Canadian oil patch and so we like to attract a lot of companies that are connected to this industry although that is not a requirement. It is also not a requirement to be from this general area and we would welcome companies from all over North America and in other industries.
We sincerely hope that this will be a valuable service and are looking for comments, input and many new members.
The Business Community Network (BCN) has been established as a means to connect the business community in Western Canada but is not limited geographically – any company is welcome. We believe there’s a need for businesses to communicate with each other on a company basis rather than individuals basis (such as Linked In or Facebook). As such the structure of this community is set up like this: business / industry groups >> companies >> individuals. In addition, companies can link Facebook, Twitter accounts and Blog Feeds to their BCN accounts. Membership is free but advertising will be on a paid basis – rates will be published soon. We welcome comments and suggestions so please let us know what you think.
