So this happened to me 15 years ago today. Less than 3 months after arriving in Canada from the US with my young family, I went to my first local business meeting and was told to go down to the office.

My rear-facing office was completely destroyed (apart from one fire-sealed cabinet with my cheque books)—including 2 monitors, furniture, personal paperwork—but I had my laptop and, more importantly, my second backup drive (the first was in the fire) in my bag so was able to keep working from the local coffee shop for a week who gave me a table to work from for free. The building suffered an electrical fault.

Other businesses in there also suffered smoke damage but the Town relocated us all and charged us no rent for 6 months, which I was so grateful for. The town's historical archives were thankfully saved!

As we near the back-to-school season, it is a good opportunity to take a moment to talk about the importance of website security.

Some key reasons why website security is crucial:

1) Data protection;
2) User trust and reputation;
3) Compliance and legal obligations;
4) Protections against malware and hacking;
5) Business continuity;
6) SEO and ranking;
7) Protection against DDoS attacks; and
8) Safeguarding website content.

It is clear that there are a whole host of reasons why website security is important.

Brilliant to be reunited with my old scrum half from @blackheath_1858 at the Olympic 7s in Langford. The last time we tried was during big Covid-19 and that was 20 feet, which is about the distance he would pass to me. @mikefriday09 #geezer #comeonclub

Lately, I have been having conversations with business owners about the difference between just having a Facebook page or just having a business webpage.

The main difference is you do not own any of the meta pages. There is always the possibility of violating Meta community standards and losing access to your account. Also, you are at the mercy of Meta servers. If the Meta servers go down and you do not have either an email list that you own or a business webpage, you do not have a way of contacting your clients.

This is why I believe it is important to always have a business webpage, at a minimum. You own it and you can control it.

Do you have a business webpage? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I think one of the benefits of the internet is that it reduces the virtual distance of people.

You can connect with someone on the other side of the world nearly instantly through an email or virtual call.

It is because of the beauty of the internet that I am able to work with clients all over North America.

The internet and its ability to connect people never ceases to amaze me.

Since Market 2 All’s inception, the trends have been constantly evolving regarding website design. Check out our 2002 and 2023 designs, 20 years apart!

- Dark mode;
- Minimalism;
- Micro-interactions;
- 3D elements;
- Abstract and artistic layouts;
- Bold typography;
- Voice user interface;
- Augmented reality and virtual reality;
- Accessibility-focused design; and
- Sustainability-focused design.

Still on the fence about whether your business needs a website? Websites can offer business owners the following benefits:

1. Makes you look professional;
2. Can ‘pull” customers organically from major search engines;
3. Showcase your products or services;
4. Display positive reviews and testimonials;
5. Customers can contact you directly and see a location map;
6. Integrate social media feeds and email newsletters to “push” back;
7. Expand your customer base significantly, even to other countries;
8. Sell in multiple currencies;
9. Have an email associated with your domain name; and
10. Can “respond” to a tablet or mobile device (if built correctly).

Are you still on the fence about needing a website?
