New Customer Website
By Dave Mancarella
Hey everyone. Dialogue Web Design has officially launched a new customer website: http://www.thestirringspoon.com. The Stirring Spoon, based in Johnston, RI, offers all-natural, gourmet cooking sauces for those of us who want a delicious meal but don’t have the time to make everything ourselves. Visit the site today to not only learn about the company, but also: 1) order jars of sauce online, and 2) check out the “Recipe Forum” – a place to learn new recipes, post your toughts, and submit your own.
From a technical standpoint, The Stirring Spoon website demonstrates two great features. First is the ecommerce. Through a simple paypal integration, Linda (The Stirring Spoon’s owner) can easily receive payments by credit card. With our affordable website design ecommerce is finally affordable for small businesses. The second feature is the blog integration (as seen in the Recipe Forum). Blogs are a powerful and versatile web tool that gives you the customer full control over set content on your site. Update and reorganize how you’d like, whenever you’d like. In this case it’s the perfect way for Linda to post new recipes, and receive comments from her customers about them. These features, coupled with a simple design and organization makes this a powerful website.

Website Design for Rhode Island
By Dave Mancarella
There are thousands of web designers across the country. How do you choose who to do business with?
Rhode Island is a unique place in how devoted its residents are to doing business locally. Conversations with clients reveal why this can be such a good idea. One customer of mine told me about a company based in California that supposedly carried out “search engine optimization” (SEO) on their behalf for months. When we discussed how I could save them $25 every month on SEO (while also hosting and maintaining the website I would build them) they logged into their account with this company to cancel it. It was only then that they found out the company had done nothing for them. The keywords and information they had sent in had never been implemented.
Now, of course I’m not implying that non- Rhode Island companies won’t do a good job. But I like that I can offer customers the peace of mind that I’m based in Providence. If they need any help with their website I’m just a phone call away, and if they want to meet in person, I’m happy to oblige.
The reason I named this company Dialogue Web Design is that the relationship between a company and their customers should be an open dialogue. That philosophy guides how I treat my customers, and how I help my customers treat theirs.
