“We’ve recognized an increasing demand for SEO among our website design clients.”, noted Erik Fletcher, President of Arrowsmith. “While the websites we create have always been standards-based and optimized for search, organic SEO is a process that requires an additional, ongoing commitment to publishing and linking content across a variety of mediums. As such, we have taken great care to select a partner with a reputation for excellence in this area and who shares our vision for outstanding customer service with a results-driven approach to internet marketing”.

In recent years, Search Engine Optimization has become an increasing vital success factor for businesses looking to increase their exposure online. Ranking among the top results on Google can make a significant impact on the performance of an online marketing campaign. “eKKO’s internet marketing services have helped many small to medium sized businesses grow their online presence, and has lead them to be very successful on the internet.”, said Mathew Moxness, CEO of eKKO. “Additionally, we are quite pleased to be able to confidently recommend Arrowsmith’s website design services to our own clients going forward.”

It can be hard to forget that, despite the overwhelming popularity of Apple products, Microsoft still enjoys a 92.5% share of the desktop computing market. Given that the growing demand for tablets has negatively influenced sales of traditional laptops, a solution was desperately needed. Although Microsoft has had mixed success in the past with other proprietary hardware products (the Xbox being a relative triumph compared to the unfortunate Zune), after watching the Surface teaser video you may find yourself suitably impressed with the design. The magnetic cover/keyboard is nothing short of innovative, and the fact that it can run a full version of Windows 8 (which – if you haven’t tried it – has been quite well received) is a game-changer. The prospect of being able to run a full desktop OS (along with full desktop applications) on a tablet device is what makes the Surface so enticing. It should be noted that although the Android platform is already fully capable of this, most consumers will likely prefer the seamless transition from their existing Windows devices and software.

If you accept that computing – both enterprise and personal – is trending towards the convergence of multiple devices within a single, mobile platform, this could very well be what gives Microsoft the edge over Apple in the tablet space. Of course, by enabling other vendors to sell their own Windows 8 tablets, MSFT wins either way.

Set to open in May 2012, our new office will focus on delivering  the high quality website design and advertising services we have become known for to clients across the Greater Toronto Area. We are looking forward to the opportunity to work with many of the small businesses, start-up companies and non-profit organizations that call Toronto home.

“While our head office will, of course, remain located in Kitchener,” said Erik Fletcher, Founder and President of Arrowsmith, “we are quite pleased to be able to expand our business into new markets and offer the same outstanding level of service across a larger region.”

We will be announcing our new office address and phone number shortly. Stay tuned for more updates regarding this new venture!

About TEDxUW:

We live in an age where ideas can spread like wildfire, where tools can be harnessed to connect people across vast distances and where people can be mobilized en masse with the click of a button. Social movements across the world are now being spurred on by the use of incredibly powerful, highly-scalable technologies that can turn desire into action within minutes. The gap between our ideas and ability to take charge of our reality can be crossed in a single stride. We are inspired by revolutionary ideas, but we are also inspired by revolutionary leaders and agents of change. Why? Because they took action.

This is what TEDxUW captures – the excitement of taking action and showcasing the achievements of those people who defied the naysayers and created things, built relationships and brought their ideas to life. And that’s just today. Can you imagine tomorrow?

On November 11th, 2010, Civiside.com will be launching their new “Guaranteed Interview Program” website. The new site was generously donated by Arrowsmith Corporation, a local web design firm based in Kitchener. Arrowsmith’s president, Erik Fletcher, is a passionate supporter of the Guaranteed Interview Program, encouraging other companies to participate: “Guaranteeing an interview to a veteran is not only the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense. Veterans have great skills sets that are transferrable to the civilian workforce, and this program is an excellent way to help them connect with employers seeking quality candidates.”

With the new website in place, Civiside expects to attract more businesses across Ontario and, eventually, North America. “We have already seen an incredible response to the new site,” says Ken Seville, founder of Civiside.com. “We are now in a great position to start signing up more employers who want to make a difference in their community. In fact, we’ve already partnered with a number of high-profile companies including Pioneer Petroleums and PV Labs.”

Interested employers can sign up for the program by visiting civiside.com, agreeing to grant at least one qualified veteran an interview per job posting, and downloading the program logo to be placed on their career site, marketing collateral, job postings and wherever they attract talent.
