This post was inspired after I spoke to Kat today (thanks, Kat!). I think a lot of times, we get our best blog ideas from talking to clients and friends.
While I always stress that we only design and build websites for business, which means our focus is to help our clients make good connections which eventually lead to orders and enquiries, it does not mean that we’re not going to help if you’re an NGO (non-profit organisation).
Like I was telling Kat, we’re supportive of people who are helping to make the world a greener, better, healthier place. At the same time, it is also our principle to draw the line at the type of community support or sponsorship we offer (we offer up to 90% of sponsorship if the NGO wants to use our Redbox Easyweb and in some cases, offer a generous discount if the NGO wants us to design a fully-customised website).

Over the years, I realised that I have collected, used and imparted some tips about what it is to be a business owner/entrepreneur. Did you know that I started off as a home-based business, working out of my rented room then? That was almost 10 years ago.
Although I made that leap out of the home and into an office, I still think that it’s no different really. Business owners have their own ways of doing things. Below I share some tips of how you can be a business owner too. Whether you are a solo-preneur or a 10-person firm, being a business owner is all about having the right attitude.
And having the right attitude is about getting your daily priorities right too. Continue reading »

Remember I wrote about a friend sometime last year who’s truly a marketing maven?
Well, his product, Monica 3, was reviewed in The Star just this week. Congrats, Yeo! I was quite pleased to read about his Monica 3 because I know Yeo is an audiophile who really walks and talks his stuff!
If you can’t remember Yeo, it’s OK. You can backtrack to read all about Yeo’s hobby turned (profitable) business at this post of ours.
Once you’ve done that, quickly go read The Star Audiofile review and what it says about the Monica evolution.
But be quick: I am not sure how many days The Star keeps its articles online. It might disappear soon.
