The Rotary Club of Castro Valley is presenting no-limit charity Texas hold’em event tomorrow night Feb 11th at 6pm!

<Lady Gaga Voice> P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face. </Lady Gaga Voice> (sorry couldn’t help it.)

KO Websites is “gaga” over the Rotory’s local charity poker event and you should be too!  Poker runs rich in Castro Valley’s history, back in 1864 Don Castro lost the city of Castro Valley in a poker game on a $400,000 bet.  Can you believe that? Tomorrow night the locals and the Rotary Club are trying to take it back!

There will be great food, drinks, people, awesome prizes and all the Hold-Em action you can ask for with all going to a great charity.  KO Websites is a proud part sponsor and player in the event. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

The Google Plus vanity URL issue

Google Plus pages for brands and businesses long awaited launch came last week.  Everyone exploded in the doors almost like Walmart on black Friday, creating circles, running in circles, jumping over circles, posting pics, videos, hanging out, and immediately ranting and raving on what they love and what they think is missing. One of the most talked about on the G+ Pages wish list is vanity URLs.  We have seen a lot of discussion from people angered sometimes saddened and begging for vanity URLs for their Google Plus Pages profiles.   Google is believed to eventually grant this wish for vanity URLs but why wait?

Missing Cool new web stuff?

The problem with running a web design and marketing company is, sometimes your so busy, you miss some of the cool stuff coming out on the web. Recently, one of my team members tried to show me this cool new website Paper.il. I was too busy to really listen and went about my business. Today, paper.LI came up again when I noticed the same team member setting up and editing an account for one of our social media clients (we manage social media marketing accounts for our clients). I was curious, so I went to paper.li (.li instead of .com). Read the rest of this entry »

Bay Area Web Designs – Summer of 2011

It’s been a busy summer for the KO team. Here are a few of our newest websites launched the last few months:

MC Electronics of Hollister, Ca. needed a fresh, clean design and the ability to add job postings. They also wanted a simple flash header and an easy to use CMS. What better choice then a Word Press application. To top it off, they asked for SEO on a few of their favorite search terms. KO was happy to oblige and quickly went to work and produced this great little website – MC Electronics

Hello Karbon, a custom home theater installation company, serving the San Francisco Bay Area, needed an updated design, blog, heavy flash work and SEO. We built them one of the most fun and interactive websites we’ve ever built. Check it our at Hellokarbon.com

IMG Inc, a Bay Area office relocation company in Hayward CA, needed their first ever website designed and built. KO came up with a great design and cool little flash header that gets your attention. See it at Bay Area Office Relocations

KO wonders if they do web design for small or large companies…

Recently, I’ve had several conversations about the “company sizes” that we do web design, web hosting and web marketing for. We use loosely the term “small company,” “medium company” and “large company” and one client asked me what we considered a small company. I said sells under $2 million a year; an answer that I freely admit that I plucked from thin air. I thought that this was a very fair question and as I started to school myself on contracting for the US government, I found the official answer. Read the rest of this entry »
