How to Tell When It’s Time for a Website Redesign
How to Tell When It’s Time for a Website Redesign
I have been building websites for over 15 years now – the last 10 of which have been primarily devoted to clients here at Calvert Design Group.

Don’t Forget to Protect Possibly Your Biggest Business Asset
In today’s Internet business economy many small business owners leave one of their most valuable business assets completely unprotected and in the hands of someone else. I am talking about your domain name. Countless times over the last 10-15 years I have worked with clients that have no idea where or with whom their domain name is registered. Sometimes it is an easy situation to make right – other times it is not. It could be they trusted a friend to register their domain name or a web developer that built their first website for them. Either way the end… Continue Reading Don’t Forget to Protect Possibly Your Biggest Business Asset
