			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Why we do it and why this is good for you</h2>
<p>Chances are that, given the choice, you would prefer to make an informed decision rather than an uninformed one. The choices you make are based on well thought out advice, rational thinking, and gut feeling.<br />
A new, updated, or innovative website requires you to go through the same decision making process.</p>
<ul>
<li>weighing the possibilities</li>
<li>requesting / gathering information</li>
<li>assessing the various possible outcomes</li>
<li>arrive at a well thought out decision</li>
</ul>
<p>Our decision to use <a href="http://motionmill.com/?p=2283">WordPress as our weapon of choice</a> was made long ago.<br />
And we haven&#8217;t regretted it for a minute!<br />
We&#8217;ve become accustomed to using it every day. In this way, WorldPress is like a good cup of coffee: we can&#8217;t imagine starting the day without it.</p>
<p>WordPress is also the right choice for you.<br />
To help you along the way with your decision making process, we&#8217;ve included a few basic points.<br />
Staff supported in practice, lead by personal experience.</p>
<ol>
<li>Brilliant editor: allows everybody to make changes to their web pages!</li>
<li>First-rate CMS: allows the user to determine page order and menu set-up!</li>
<li>Excellent SEO, Google loves WordPress websites.</li>
<li>WordPress is FREE. FREE free!<br />
And, it&#8217;s Open Source.</li>
<li>Want a website that jumps out at you? No problem!</li>
<li>WordPress is safe.</li>
<li>Your website grows with you and your company</li>
</ol>
<h2>Brilliant editor: allows everybody to make changes to their web pages!</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever had your own website, then you must know how frustrating it is if you can&#8217;t make changes to the website yourself. To make even the smallest change, for example a typo, you have to call up your webmaster. The webmaster doesn&#8217;t have time to help you right then, and the typo is on the website for another day.<br />
The worst is if a phone number needs to be changed: this often translates into lost business.<br />
Better to take control of the website yourself, right?</p>
<p>WordPress turns the adjustment of text and images on your website into child&#8217;s play.<br />
You can type text, add links and photos as though you&#8217;re working in Word.<br />
Publishing new pages and articles is effortless:</p>
<ul>
<li>add new</li>
<li>type the title and content</li>
<li>publish</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p><a href="http://motionmill.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/2010-08-09_1045.png" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-2533];player=img;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2516" title="2010-08-09_1045" src="http://motionmill.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/2010-08-09_1045.png" alt="" width="528" height="85" /></a></p>
<p>Looks simple, right?<br />
That&#8217;s because it is.</p>
<p>The WordPress editor: suitable for users from 7 to 97.</p>
<h2>First rate CMS: allows the user to determine page order and menu set-up!</h2>
<p>Who knows better than you what your website should look like?<br />
Nobody. You alone have the ideas for your website in your head.<br />
That&#8217;s why it makes sense for you to be the one to determine the order of your web pages.</p>
<p>You choose which pages show up in the menu, you determine the order of the underlying pages, and choose which pages remain &#8216;hidden&#8217; (this can be useful for mailings!)<br />
The power to do all this doesn&#8217;t require any sort of special knowledge or effort: you, too, will be able to do after a short training.</p>
<h2>Excellent SEO, Google loves WordPress websites.</h2>
<p>Nothing is more important for your website than being found in a search.<br />
That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to follow the rules which allow your website to be found and read easily in a search.<br />
The competition has grown, most websites already use the standard &#8216;tricks&#8217; for coming out on top of a search.<br />
What about formatting your website correctly from the beginning?</p>
<p>WordPress was originally developed as blogging software.<br />
The aim was to make a website as easy to find as possible: people were writing about specific subjects, and were looking for specific information.<br />
This functionality has been there since the start (in 2001) and has been added to and improved.<br />
And now you can benefit from it.</p>
<h2>WordPress is free. FREE free.</h2>
<p>WordPress.org offers you a complete package which allows you to get started directly.<br />
Everything you need to build a website is there to be downloaded.<br />
You could compare it to a construction company trading in stones and cement.</p>
<p>Everybody can build, make changes, and tinker with their website.<br />
What we can do for you is work out the basics for your website and build it.<br />
We can advise you and offer suggestions when needed, and always discuss things with you before making changes.<br />
If you ever choose to let someone else work on the website, there will be no problem. They can get straight to work.</p>
<h2>And, it&#8217;s Open Source.</h2>
<p>Open source means that everyone can and may download, use, and make changes to the source code offered by WordPress.<br />
This ensures that your website will always be there, even if we&#8217;re not.</p>
<h2>Want a website that jumps out at you? No problem!</h2>
<p>You website is your business card on the web. Being noticeable is key.<br />
You&#8217;re not just one of the crowd, are you?<br />
We didn&#8217;t think so either, and we&#8217;ll help you come up with a design that&#8217;s right for you.</p>
<p>Take the time to have a look at our <a href="http://motionmill.com/?page_id=1988">portfolio</a>: there&#8217;s something there for everyone.</p>
<h2>WordPress is safe.</h2>
<p>Thanks to the large group of <a href="http://wordpress.org/download/counter/">WordPress.org</a> users, and the fantastic Automattic, WordPress is constantly being tested and improved.<br />
Any leaks or bugs in the program are always fixed directly.<br />
Updates, installations, and safety are just a few clicks away!</p>
<h2>Your website grows with you and your company.</h2>
<p>WordPress has a modular framework: when something new is required, the file can be downloaded and added using various WP plug-ins.<br />
Maybe your website consists of only a few pages with contact information and a form?<br />
But what if your business grows? What if you want to offer one of your products or services online?<br />
And what if users need to log onto your website?</p>
<p>The more information we have from you about what you want, the more clear it becomes for us, and the easier to becomes to build it for you.<br />
Have you thought about how your website might grow? Or how it can become more elaborate?<br />
Extra expansion possibilities, everything is possible using WordPress.</p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s why we chose for WordPress three years about, and haven&#8217;t looked back since.<br />
WordPress is rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll.<br />
Come dancing with us?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In difficult times, companies pay extra attention to limiting their expenses, this is when we notice most often that entrepreneurs see their software and their website as an investment. They need it to run their business, and it&#8217;s an investment that pays for itself.</p>
<h2>How&#8217;s that possible?</h2>
<p>Here&#8217;s how we see it.<br />
Many business processes are handled (partly) online.<br />
There are many SAAS (software as a service) models that bring our businesses online:</p>
<ul>
<li> sending and receiving e-mail</li>
<li>marketing via social networks</li>
<li>CMS (content management system) websites</li>
<li>CRM (Customer relationship management) online</li>
<li>off-site back ups</li>
<li>virtual desktops</li>
<li>online bookkeeping</li>
<li>&#8230;.</li>
</ul>
<p>You choose to surround your company with the best accountants and lawyers, etc&#8230;<br />
And in the end, you choose the (virtual) company that makes the best impression.<br />
You select a market rich with potential customers.<br />
But have you also ensured that your software solutions facilitate your company&#8217;s independence and continuity?</p>
<h2>And so&#8230;</h2>
<p>&#8230;based on these thoughts, you might look at your software solutions partner with a new perspective.<br />
And, the way you are investing your capital: you want practical software solutions for your company, and you want them to be &#8216;your&#8217; solutions.<br />
And, you want an innovative solution that offers continuity.<br />
In the short term, and also in the long term.</p>
<p>Because sooner or later, the actual value of your company will become crucial.<br />
With growth, acquiring credit, and with the sale or takeover of your company.</p>
<p>Looking at software solutions as an investment and not an expense for your company, will give you a whole new perspective on things.<br />
When considering the return on your investment, the number of years you will be benefiting from a custom designed software solution, and the ability of such a solution to grow with your company will become even more important.<br />
There&#8217;s a big chance that you&#8217;ll end up with a carefully considered solution which will fulfill your business needs now, and into the future.</p>
<h2>Practical</h2>
<p>A simple statement, and few thoughts to trigger your curiosity, and wham: here come all the questions!</p>
<ul>
<li>How can I get started?</li>
<li>What are the technical requirements?</li>
<li>Financial aspects?</li>
<li>Who can help me?</li>
</ul>
<p>Motionmill! We&#8217;ll help you on your way!</p>
