The Google Doodle today celebrates the birthday of one of my favorite poets, and one of the most fun literary names to say. “Jorge Luis Borges” flows off the tongue so much better than “Shakespeare” or “Emily Dickinson”. Not that there’s anything wrong with their writing; far from it. One of my favorite works from ...
This week Either/Or Media announces that we will be offering consulting services! We realized that so many of our potential clients ask the same questions, and although it’s nice to talk over the phone, we realized that it would help a lot of people if we could actually sit down with them to answer them. ...
I was introduced to Michael E. Gerber‘s work a few months ago by my good friend and colleague Sam Nelson, of Website Muscle. I read The E-Myth Revisited and was amazed—finally, here was the road map to running an effective, productive and profitable small business! Where had this been when I started Either/Or Media almost ...
Welcome back to our “What Not to Do When Writing Web Content” series! Last time we discussed what we call “egotistical” copy—web content that boasts only what the company can do, its qualifications, principals and values. Basically, ineffective written content that bores readers and serves them no purpose in terms of what the company has ...
Did we mention that web copy is crucial to the success of your website? Well-written, effective copy flags down search engines, engages audiences and overall makes a website read and look better. Poorly written content can actually diminish the credibility of a website and drive away readers and potential customers! Either/Or Media has been emphasizing ...

That is all you need to grab your audience’s attention, right? Wrong. Written content has a lot of impact on the quality of a ...
First of all, what *is* website architecture? It’s basically a visual representation of a website, like a map. It’s the ideal, and frankly the only, way to organize a website before starting development. It’s been my experience that many web designers lean too much on the client for this vital step. Take, for instance, my ...
Sadly, this is something I hear all the time. As a matter of fact, Either/Or Media just gained a new client this morning because of this. Part of this problem comes from the fact that a lot of web designers are “fly by night”, creating websites on the sly from their 9-5 jobs. Soon, they ...
I feel compelled, frankly, to write about this. I had a very interesting situation with a client this week—a client who shall remain nameless to protect the client-provider relationship—that was somewhat disturbing. I do feel that clients hire us for our expertise, just as I would hire a plumber or business coach based on their ...
When we first start talking to clients about blogging, some look confused—and it’s understandable. Most people have the idea in their heads that a blog is a person’s running commentary about the cute thing their kids/dog/significant other did that day, fashion advice or recipes they’ve perfected in their own kitchen. And all of these ARE ...
