				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I just <strong>Googled</strong> 'al gore invented the internet' and read all the references and opinions about whether or not Al Gore gave himself credit for creating the internet. I think he does give himself more than his fair share of credit, which is cool. For <strong>SLEEK</strong>, whether he did, or did not, come out and say that he created the internet we still like the phrase. We coined it around these parts as: Al Gore Cred.</p>
<h2>Al Gore Cred</h2>
<p>This phrase means we think something is super sick.  The 'father' of the web might agree, anything that we give 'Al Gore Cred', or 'AGC' in some places, means that we really like what we see. This is official name for giving internet props or credit. <strong>SLEEK is all about giving credit where credit is due</strong>. We are also all about letting people know our inside jokes, the last thing we want to be is the snobby web development guys who are condescending and obnoxious. We know some guys like this...they suck. We are real life dudes who do real magic on the web, really...</p>
<p>In case this is your first visit to our site please check out our <a href="http://www.sleekdevelopment.com/category/portfolio/">Portfolio</a> and contact us if we can offer you any value in the world of responsive online media. <strong>Our specialty is bringing your online goals to fruition and creating a harmonious online presence that incorporates the latest trends with functional design</strong>. Email or call us, we would love to work with you.</p>
<h2>We want to help you gain 'Al Gore Cred' with your site/business.</h2>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-720" title="Basecamp" src="http://www.sleekdevelopment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/basecamp.png" alt="Basecamp" width="580" height="125" /></h3>
<h3>Must read? Really?</h3>
<p>Okay, okay, we understand that it is a big claim -- 'MUST READ', but we have good reason for it. This book is all about how to be an entrepreneur today, right now. It dispels some common myths in regards to becoming an entrepreneur. Here's what a man by the name of <strong>Seth Godin</strong> had to say about this book:</p>
<h3>"Every once in a while, a book comes out of left field that changes just about everything. This is one of those books. Ignore it at your own peril."</h3>
<p>The book sort of chronicles 37 Signals journey in creating their tremendously successful web app called <strong><a href="http://basecamphq.com/?referrer=JRFARR">Basecamp</a></strong>. Their web apps are used by over 3 million people today. The book explains in detail their philosophy about work, management, and creativity. The book is about 180 pages long but it is really about 120 pages of real reading. We have never read a book written like this where there is no fluff,  no generalities, and it is so specific you will definitely walk away with some good ideas. It is a great book for every entrepreneur and business owner especially if your work is in the online world, and if not, it will still inspire you to run your business more effectively and start the business you have been meaning to for a while now.</p>
<h3>SLEEK uses <a href="http://basecamphq.com/?referrer=JRFARR">Basecamp</a>.</h3>
<p>This tool, as they explain in their book, allows you to work seamlessly with people all over the world and keep everyone on the same page. We use it every single day because it enables us to work on multiple projects and never lose any information as well as collaborate on things we all need to be involved in no matter where we are in the world.<br />
You can test all of their apps for 30 days at no cost. Click on this link to check out <a href="http://basecamphq.com/?referrer=JRFARR">Basecamp</a> for yourself.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-658" title="Virtual Real Estate" src="http://www.sleekdevelopment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/virtual-real-estate.jpg" alt="Virtual Real Estate" width="580" height="225" /></p>
<p>We've been saying this for a few years now and everyday, the locations of this virtual real estate are being occupied. Business' need to start thinking of their websites as an asset. As a piece of real estate. And if you build your piece of real estate the right way, you can have your very own Park Place or Boardwalk.</p>
<h2>Having trouble seeing the value in a Website?</h2>
<p>Most small, medium sized businesses either don't have a website at all or have neglected their websites because they feel like they don't get anything out of them. Well when it comes to the web, it's not a "build it and they will come" scenario. There are so many different aspects that come into play in order to get your site working hard for you.</p>
<ul>
<li>Professional &amp; Custom Design</li>
<li>Copy</li>
<li>Functionality</li>
<li>Is the site Search Engine friendly?</li>
<li>How are driving traffic?</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, just having a site is not enough, with the tools available in this day and age we are seeing a new kind of informational and virtual land grab. People are claiming virtual territory wherever their customers are on the web. The strength of your online presence is directly related to your bottom line. This aspect incorporates SMO, SEO, brand monitoring and protection, amount of content, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Maybe now is a good time to sit back and think about your website. Is it working hard for you? Is it delivering value or results? If not, it may be time to re-evaluate or put it in the hands of a the right people. Start researching online media companies and agencies.</p>
<p><strong>Don't be afraid to invest in your virtual real estate.</strong></p>
