Website design & development for small business India USA Canada

Most of the urban people of today are mobile Internet users. Whenever a new smart phone hits the market, it sells like a hotcake. Apart from smart phones, regular mobile sets give Internet access and integrate social networking. Youngsters are using tabs to go trendy. Tabs come with Internet connectivity, too. So, Internet access is not a big deal in present times, ruled by digital technology. With the increasing sale of mobile phones and tabs, the number of Internet users is evidently on the rise.? You are perhaps wondering what the purpose of this talk is. Am I right?

Do you ever think that you can sell your product or service to this mobile Internet using population, through a small business website? Yes, this is what I am looking to make you understand. You have a small business, and therefore you don?t find the idea of having a website a feasible one. As far as I think, you are not aware of how a website can make a difference in the performance of your business. If your business is located in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 or Tier 3 city, you can take the advantage of your urban business presence through a website. How? To know, go through the rest.

Like print newspaper classifieds, there are classifieds on the Internet. To say precisely, these are dedicated classified websites where businesses, small and big, are advertised with along with their physical addresses and contact details. The sole purpose is to fetch potential customers to their stores. However, this policy does not benefit big businesses and small businesses equally. The main point of difference between big businesses and small ones is a website, in this respect.

Large-scale businesses have their own websites. Their business website address is mentioned in online classified ads of a specific category. They receive a good volume of traffic from the daily visitors to online classified portals via their website links. Thus they are quick enough to trap the traffic for the selling of their products or services. And, you are losing them out to your rivals just because of having no website. Who is benefitted ? they or you?

Being small or big in business does not matter. What matters most is the target market exposure that a website provides. If you have a small business website and if you mention the website address in online classified ads, the viewers of your classified advertisement will surely click on the website link and explore what you are offering, what the latest product is, and what the market price is. Today?s Internet savvy shoppers prefer to view a product online before visiting the store where is the product is available.

Having a website for your small business is a sort of online marketing trick. If you don?t try this trick, others will do and benefit from it. Leaving the market open to your rivals is not a good business policy. Most of small business owners hesitate to have a website. It is mainly because they are worried of web design costs. High web design cost for small businesses is simply a misconception. Small business website design services are quite affordable at some web design companies.

Hope, you have got the purpose of this entire discussion. You too can gain a share of the online market. But you need to have a website for your small business for that.

Court: Unseal documents in NASCAR chairman's legal fight with ex ...

The N.C. Court of Appeals on Monday upheld a Mecklenburg judge?s order unsealing the secret documents in NASCAR Chairman Brian France?s legal battle with his former wife.

The appeals court ruling is the latest twist in Brian and Megan France?s efforts to keep secret the details of their legal wrangling and the contents of their confidential separation agreement.

Brian France has sought to scrap the separation agreement with his ex-wife that calls for him to pay the mother of his two children $9 million as well as more than $40,000 a month in alimony and child support. The NASCAR chairman claims Megan France breached their confidential agreement.

The appeals court ruling Monday upholds Mecklenburg District Judge Jena Culler?s ruling in August 2011 unsealing the documents in the Frances? litigation. Culler also overturned an order by a former judge sealing the documents in 2008.

?The public has a right to access court files,? Culler announced in court. ?I feel very strongly that these files should be unsealed.?

Johnny Stephenson, one of Brian France?s attorneys, told the Observer: ?We are disappointed by the court of appeals opinion, which we believe to be legally flawed, and we intend to seek immediate review from the N.C. Supreme Court.?

Ray Owens, an attorney for the Observer and its news partner, WCNC-TV, said he is pleased that the appeals court agreed with the positions of his clients.

?Our appellate courts have now twice unanimously ruled that Mr. France must seek justice like the rest of us ? without special consideration or favor,? Owens said. ?Our legal system ? even with its flaws ? desires openness over secrecy and the Court?s decision today only serves to emphasize that principle.?

Brian and Megan France had also sought to have the court hearings closed to the public. But Culler in 2009 ruled that the courtroom proceedings would be open to the public. The appeals court upheld that decision, concluding that Culler had not erred by refusing to close the proceedings.

On Monday, the appeals court panel voted 3-0 to uphold Culler?s ruling unsealing the documents. The appeals court judges said they found no ?abuse in discretion? in Culler?s decision.

The secret documents, however, won?t be unsealed immediately. Brian and Megan France can now appeal.

At a hearing in July 2011, Observer attorney Ray Owens urged Culler to unseal the documents.

?It?s time for openness,? he argued.

But Johnny Stephenson, one of Brian France?s attorneys, argued that then-District Judge Todd Owens? order in 2008 to seal the documents had not been overturned and was still in effect. ?The order is the law of this case,? he told the judge. ?And we have to abide by it.?

Culler, in ordering the documents be unsealed, found that there had been substantial changes in the circumstances surrounding the litigation between Brian and Megan France. One of the changes the judge cited were published reports in the media disclosing details about the Frances? confidential separation agreement. Another occurred when the appeals court upheld Culler?s ruling that the Frances? litigation would take place in open court.

Public disclosure about the Frances? separation agreement, Culler said, warranted unsealing the documents. The judge also pointed out the difficulties of holding hearings in open court about documents that are under seal and issues that are confidential.

?This is simply not how our courts are supposed to run,? Culler said.

The appeals court, in its ruling Monday, cited its decision in 2009 upholding Culler?s order that the Frances? litigation should be played out in open court. That ruling, the appeals court judges wrote, was sufficient alone to warrant a reconsideration of whether Owens? 2008 order sealing the documents in the Frances? litigation was still proper.

The appeals court judges said they found ?no indication of abuse of discretion? in Culler?s findings of fact.

?The findings of fact are supported by the evidence and each reasonably supports the conclusion of law that a change in circumstance has occurred,? the appeals court judges wrote. ?Therefore, we affirm the trial court?s order unsealing the documents.?

Stocks struggle for direction as 'cliff' nears

NEW YORK (AP) ? The stock market struggled for direction Monday morning after five days of losses, with the "fiscal cliff" just hours away and lawmakers yet to reach a solution.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down slightly, 24 points, to 12,914 after the first half-hour of trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 was up two points at 1,405. The Nasdaq composite index was up five to 2,965.

Many investors are unsure of what to do with their money as long as the "fiscal cliff" remains unsolved. That refers to higher taxes and government spending cuts that will kick in Tuesday if Republicans and Democrats can't hammer out a budget compromise by midnight Monday. Both sides had been hoping for a deal over the weekend, but negotiations were stop and go. Both the House and Senate were scheduled to meet again Monday, unusual for New Year's Eve.

It's difficult to discern how a deal, or lack of a deal, might affect the stock market. From mid-November through roughly mid-December, the stock market rose more or less steadily, despite the "fiscal cliff" looming on the horizon. It wasn't until shortly before Christmas that the "cliff" finally scared investors enough to send the market down.

Some of the reason that the "fiscal cliff" has been able to yank the market around is logistical. There's been little other news to trade on in the last couple weeks of the year, which are traditionally quiet. No major companies are scheduled to report earnings this week, and the major economic indicator this week, the government's monthly jobs report, won't be released until Friday.

Trading volume has also been light, with many investors still on vacation. With fewer shares trading hands, the market can be moved by relatively small trades. Last week, about 2.2 billion shares traded hands each day on average. Throughout the year, the average has been closer to 3.6 billion.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.73 percent from 1.70 percent late Friday.

In Europe, markets closed mixed after a half-day of trading. Trading was closed in Germany and Italy. U.S. and other markets will be closed Tuesday for New Year's Day.

There are reasons to be calm as the "cliff" approaches. Even with the deadline fast approaching, many analysts still expect a deal to get done. It's not unusual for high-profile budget negotiations to go down to the wire as both sides seize the opportunity for political theatrics.

And even if Republicans and Democrats can't reach a deal, and the tax hikes and spending cuts go into effect Tuesday, many analysts think the effect would be more like the anti-climactic Y2K scare than a true Armageddon. The impact of the higher taxes and lower government spending would be felt only gradually ? for example, workers might get more taxes withheld from their first couple of paychecks in the new year ? but then Congress could always retroactively repeal those higher taxes.

But there are also reasons to worry. The higher taxes and lower government spending could send the economy into a recession. Politically, the U.S. would send a message that its lawmakers are bickering, something that's unpalatable to many investors.

Without a deal, that also means that investors don't have a good read on the government's long-term budget policy. It's likely that lawmakers could pass a stop-gap bill to fend off the cliff. That would probably keep current taxes and government spending in place for the short term, and require lawmakers to reconvene in the new year to hammer out a more permanent deal. But that wouldn't solve lingering disputes over how much the U.S. government should tax and spend.

Elsewhere, there were reminders that the "fiscal cliff" is not the only problem facing the markets and the economy. German Chancellor Angela Merkel used her New Year's speech to warn that Europe's economic turmoil "isn't overcome by a long stretch."
