Kentucky Website Designer RB Design Studio, LLC

Entrepreneurship

I participated in the Women in Business Panel & Networking Reception yesterday at the University of Kentucky Stuckert Career Center.

It was an eye-opening experience for me seeing these young women about to graduate college and eager to hear how to start their own businesses! So much to learn … so much good work to do!

It also made me realize that, after being a secretary for 28 years, I started my own business at age 43 and it is still alive and flourishing today and now I am age 57. Just goes to show you are never to old begin something that is your dream. And sometimes, you don’t even know you have a dream until someone else awakens it in you.

Back in 1998 there was no “Web Design U”. This business was born simply on sheer will and passion for this new thing called Web Design that I had begun. In 1998, those young women were only about 14 years old! They have always known the internet. It is a way of life for them. For me (and those in my generation and older), the internet was a brand new frontier.

I am so proud to say that I am helping to pave the way for businesses to have an internet presence in this new frontier!

Also, can’t say enough about the Kentucky Small Business Development Center (www.ksbdc.org) and all the valuable help and services they provide! They are there with their expertise for brand new businesses as well as established businesses. If you have never given them a try, then you are missing out!

Oh No! My website is down!

Ever had that happen? It happened to me and a lot of my clients today.

One minute websites were fine, humming along like well-oiled machines. Email coming in and going out in an orderly fashion just like it is supposed to do.

Then the next minute – what do you know – they were down! Oh no! The world is coming to an end!

Well, no, not really. Web servers are just big computers. Sometimes they (like our personal computers) just need a reboot (or a swift kick or whatever method you use)… JK!

Usually our websites are online. Usually. Sometimes the server needs to be rebooted. Sometimes it requires more drastic measures. That is what happened today. We had a huge load issue and the admins. at the server were hard at work on the problem even before they got the phone call from me. Sure enough, after a while (a while than I really wanted but nevertheless) the websites were all back online and email was flowing as it should again.

I just wrote this to say – sometimes web servers and the websites on them will go haywire. Please know that we hate it as much as you do and do everything we possibly can to keep server disruptions to the very minimum that we can.

Please do let us know any time you experience a problem or seem to have an outage. Your website might be the only one affected, but it might not. There may be many that are down on the same server. We do appreciate all of our hosting clients and do our best to give you all the very best of care.
