We are located in Deer Park on Long Island, New York and we are not unfamiliar with walk-ins. But you can also just give our office a call. When you call, we can provide you with a no-obligation consultation to go over all of your website needs.
There are some common indicators to evaluate the performance of a website. And these indicators can point to whether or not an update is needed. These are simply common issues you may be experiencing. Ones that you can check with your Google Analytics or Search Console account. Let's take a look at some of these indicators that will help decide whether or not you need to update your website.
If the pages on your website take too long to load, then those users will likely go look for what they need on another website. People do not have the patience to slowly wait for the page to load when there are other options out there to look into. If you measure your loading speed and it is slow, then improving on it with a new website can go a long way. You can check your website speed yourself using a tool from Google.
The bounce rate is the percentage of users who see a single page of your website and then opt to close out the tab. When you have a high bounce rate, it typically means you need a makeover because people are not happy with what they see. If their initial response is "nope," then there may be an issue with the design and layout. We can streamline your website to make it more efficient and easy to navigate.
The total amount of time users spend on your website is a good indicator of the quality of your web design. For the most part, if people are spending more time on your website then they like what they see. They are engaged with your website. Good web content writing helps to improve this factor too. MSEDP offers professional SEO content writing to help boost your rankings.
A lead is a potential customer and the conversion is the number that represents how many leads completed their desired action. If you noticed a drop in either leads or conversions, then that may be a sign that people are not finding what they want on your website. The reason can be old content or the fact that your website is difficult to navigate. But either way, updating your website with a clearer angle on web design can yield dividends.
So we went over some aspects that you can clearly measure when deciding whether or not you need a new website. Well, now let's take a look at some indicators that are not measurable in numbers or analytics. Instead, these are aspects you can read and understand whether they are true or not.
On the whole, we recommend updating your website every few years. Technology grows so fast and you have to keep up with the competition. By not updating your website periodically, you run the risk of having the oldest looking website for those in your field. If your competitors stay on top of this and you don't, then you might be losing potential customers and web visitors who prefer a nicer, newer looking website. If a potential customer lands on an older looking website it sends a bad message. Plain and simple. They may think you are struggling or, even worse, out of business. And when your website is modern it tells the audience at the very least that you are doing okay since you are keeping your website pristine.
Having a website that is mobile responsive is so important now. Most web users are searching on a mobile device. So if you do not have a mobile friendly website, then you are alienating a large portion of your audience who will hop off your site when it is a struggle to use on their cell phone. Not ideal!
If your website has dead links, then you are discouraging users from interacting with your site. A dead link is a link that brings the user to a page that does not exist. When this happens, the user is most likely going to leave and head elsewhere for what they need.
If your website still has HTTP at the front, then it is not a secure website. All respectable websites are secure and you know that by the HTTPS at the front of the website. By being secure, you are sending the message to your audience that you care about their safety on the internet. Many users do not trust websites that are not secure. So an HTTP in the URL is a major red flag for many.
Lastly, we come to whether or not it is difficult to make changes to your own website. If this is the case, then it is time for a change. Maybe your site was custom built by someone and it doesn't work great anymore. Or your WordPress site is clunky and using apps that are out of date. No worries. At MSEDP, we will export all your data and build a brand new website that makes it much easier to make changes on. And give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to navigate the back-end.
The benefits of properly updating your website are numerous. From the improved code, to search engine optimization, to the overall new look of the website, these benefits will help you and your business. Regularly updated content is also a great way to bring your website to the top of the rankings. And the overall layout and design of your website is important. A modern website shows your audience that you are up with the times and using the latest technologies to keep your website safe. Earning the trust of anyone who comes to your website.
We recommend updating your website every two to three years. When you update your website, you are ensuring that the newest technologies are incorporated, which can bring in more business for your website by keeping older customers, while still attracting new ones.
So please, do not hesitate to reach out today to learn more about our website services and how we can help you enter a new realm with your website.

When you sign up for an email marketing campaign, it is a way to grow your target audience and build a reliable base. It is also a way to improve your traffic and sales numbers. There are many great benefits when you utilize an email marketing campaign and email marketing in general is very important to growing a business. One of the ways to effectively utilize an email marketing campaign is by turning to trigger emails.
A trigger email is an email that is automatically sent out based on the behavior of the user. Some common forms of trigger emails are welcome emails, thank you emails, order confirmation emails, and email receipts. A trigger email is a great way to build a target audience and often outperform traditional emails or cold emails. Open rates for trigger emails can reach as high as 50%. And the click-through-rate is typically double that of a traditional email. So for the best conversation rates for emails, utilize trigger emails when you can.
One reason trigger emails are so effective is because they are aware of a previous interaction with your website. So there is context to receiving the email and it is not catching them cold or unaware. And oftentimes, especially when a transaction has taken place, the user is looking for this sort of email. And when you convert emails, you have the ability to generate more profits. However, trigger emails are traditionally underutilized in the world of email marketing. And setting them up does not have to be an expensive undertaking. Learn more about the email solutions at MSEDP and see what aligns best with your sales targets.
As mentioned, there are some common types of trigger emails. From transactional emails, to welcome emails and thank you emails, trigger emails are a great way to build a relationship with your client base without seeming intrusive or like spam. Here are some examples of trigger emails you can send.
This sort of campaign can be used in a few ways. If you sell a product that needs to be activated or registered, you can send the buyer an email if you realize that has not happened yet. This is just a little nudge to push them to action. Or maybe they have not activated it because they are having troubles doing so, which means in the email you can include a tutorial or instructions. By reaching out in this manner you are showing a courtesy to a buyer and it can strengthen the relationship.
Or perhaps they need a login and haven't signed in yet. Sending them an email with that information can act as a friendly reminder to get on top of creating an account.
When some time passes, you can send an email asking for a review or some feedback on the product. This again is a way to build a relationship with the customer and shows that you care about the outcome of their purchase. A little love goes a long way in terms of customer approval. Many people just want to know you care and they may be more inclined to buy again if you treat them with respect. And if you have the time to reply back and answer their response, that is an added bonus.
This is when an existing customer is approaching the end of a yearly subscription and perhaps hasn't been using the product or item recently. So you may need to win them back in order to keep their subscription. You can try by crafting a nicely worded email informing them that they are nearing the end of their subscription or contract. But in that email you can include new products and anticipated products or items. This can act as a hook to get them back on your side.
Lastly we come to the most effective tactic, but one you can't employ too frequently. But ultimately the goal of any business is to build customer loyalty. This is the key to success. And you can find ways to reward your loyal customers by giving them something for free every now and then. It is a nice token of appreciation for their business and a great way to keep your customer base loyal. Even just a small thank you and a small gift works great. Whether it is a small gift card, a percentage off their next order, or free shipping, people LOVE free. And when you show appreciation to your customers, they can show you appreciation back.

When it comes to backing up your data, you can do it one of two ways. Either with a local backup or with a cloud backup. Or you can use a combination of the two, which is fairly common. Safely backing up your data and information allows for a peace of mind, knowing that no matter what your information will be safe. It is 2021, so cloud computing is the norm and offers many wonderful benefits. However, some still feel a kinship to local backups. But with a local backup only, you are putting more of your information at risk.
At MSEDP, we offer both local backup and cloud backup for your data. We recommend cloud backup, since its advantages outweigh those of a local backup, but ultimately it is your decision. And we want you to be comfortable. So we can discuss how to best backup your information and what means works best for your situation.
But in the meantime, let's take a look at some information regarding local backup and cloud backup and some of the differences between the two. If you have any questions about backing up your computer, then please reach out to today. There are good reasons to backup your data, so be sure you are opting for the best route. When you reach to us, we can discuss with you the benefits of properly backing up your computing data, as well as go over all of the web and IT services we offer.
Cloud backup is a service that web hosting companies, like MSEDP, use to back up systems, applications, and data to a cloud-based server located remotely. In general, this server can be either a private or public server. A public server simply means that more that one company's data is located on the server. Not that it is open to the public. These public cloud servers are safe and secure to store data. At MSEDP, we offer affordable monthly packages for cloud storage. Learn more about the cloud services we offer and how they may help you run your business.
There are many great advantages of utilizing cloud backup. Potentially the number one advantage is the fact you can save both money and resources by turning to the cloud. You save space by not hosting on your own server, so there is no need to purchase a server, find a spot to keep the hardware, or spend more money on upgrading equipment. And despite not having a local server, you can still access your information from anywhere. As long as there is an internet connection. Which is a great advantage, too. Learn more about the many advantages of utilizing cloud backup systems. When you turn to MSEDP, you have the option of getting affordable and reliable hosting on our cloud systems.
The use of a local backup offers both advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a quick look at some of these aspects.
First let's start with the advantages of a local backup. Since a local backup is not dependent on an internet connection, it is much faster to recover large volumes of data from it compared to a cloud backup, which may be slower.
On top of that, you know exactly where your data is and you have more direct control over who accesses it. When you use a cloud provider, that data can be backed up in different locations and even states.
The biggest disadvantage of a local backup is when a natural disaster strikes. When local backups are close to the data source, like on a local system or data center, then you are putting all of the information at risk. When disaster strikes, it can potentially wipe out all of the information since all of it is nearby and in one spot. So having the data off-site prevents this from happening.
And when you use a local backup, you are more susceptible to cyber attacks. Most modern hackers use ransomware and malware that infiltrates your system and the first spot they go after is a potential local backup in order to delete it. Why? This prevents you from restoring your system, since your information is gone, and thus increases your chances of paying the potential ransomware. When you utilize the cloud, it is much tougher to get to via a cyber attack.
Lastly, when you want to upgrade a local backup system it is more complicated and difficult. You will need to invest in more hardware, software, and likely space in order to support a larger volume of backup. By using a cloud backup, this is a non-issue.
Now that we've went over some of the aspects of cloud and local backup, it is important to remember there are certain situations that may dictate one over the other. Or both! Oftentimes implementing a hybrid strategy is a great way to prevent major data loss. This is when you store backups both locally and in the cloud.
Our IT team is dedicated to keeping your data safe—but even the strongest security measures can face unexpected threats. That’s why it’s essential to have every angle covered. In the event of a cyberattack, local backups are often the first to be compromised. However, with a secure cloud backup in place, you can quickly restore your systems and get back to business. Whether your local backups fail or become inaccessible, the cloud serves as a reliable safety net to ensure your data—and your operations—are protected.
And as previously mentioned, if a natural disaster strikes, any on-site local server may be compromised. But having a cloud backup ensures that all measures are in place.
Once upon a time, having a mobile responsive website was forward thinking. But with each passing year, it goes from a luxury to a necessity. To the point where you are doing harm to the performance of your website by not having it be mobile responsive. From smartphones, to tablets, to even TVs and smartwatches, people surf the internet using many different devices. So it is important that your website looks great on any device. Because a satisfying user experience goes a long way. And an unsatisfied experience, well, is unsatisying.
At MSEDP, we offer professional web design to upgrade your old website into one that is mobile friendly and responsive to different devices. Since a majority of the traffic comes from mobile devices, it is important your website looks and plays the part. Learn more about the importance of web design as a whole. When you turn to MSEDP for your web design, you will get a no-obligation consultation to go over what sort of website you want. We have a portfolio of completed websites and potential templates to view to help you decide.
When it comes to a responsive design for a website, it means that a single website can adjust to any screen size. In the past, it wasn't uncommon to see a business have two websites. One full desktop version and a less complete mobile version. But that is a clunky out and outdated way of handling your business' web presence. And let's be honest, maintaining two websites is a hassle and leads to more trouble than its worth. Simply having a fully responsive website from the get-go is the way to go.
A responsive website is designed to adjust to whatever screen it is viewed on. The layouts will change to match the screen size and adapt to every given situation. So no matter if it is a mobile phone, a tablet, or a desktop, you are seeing the same website and it is user friendly. A non-responsive website leads to hidden content, sloppy scrolling, and pinching. Making it difficult to simply navigate your website. And if this is the case, it is not long until the user abandons the search and moves on.
There are some common design elements that go into a mobile responsive website. These design elements include the following:
By changing the layout to the given device, the user experience improves and you are more likely to land a sale. And not only a better user experience is gained, but your website will also gain search engine rankings. Or at least not decrease. With Google's new algorithm, taking hold in June of 2020, user experience plays a roll in the search results. So not having a mobile responsive website may lead to a decline in your rankings. And thus less overall traffic coming to your website.
In a situation similar to the Google rankings, when you have a responsive design for your website the site is considered to be mobile-friendly. Which is crucial for the fact that mobile-first indexing has become more of the standard for search engines. What this means is that the content of the mobile version of the website will be crawled by Google first and visible to users in any organic search. So, but not being mobile-friendly, you are potentially losing visitors to your website without even knowing it.
Google recommends using a responsive website for these reasons. Even over the aforementioned mobile-only version of your website. By having one mobile responsive website instead of two different sites, you have one URL and similar HTML. So when Google wants to crawl, index and organize the content it is easier. Again helping you in the search engine rankings.
For the most part, you do not have to understand how it works. That is the job of the designer and web team, like the one you will find at MSEDP. But it is good to fully understand the process. In order to make your website responsive and mobile friendly there are two options.
The first is the more common mode of operation called dynamic serving. For this method code is added to the existing website. This code instructs the parameters of the website and leads to the appropriate changes. Mostly by creating a fluid layout. So, in the end, you have the same version of your website on multiple devices, because only the content is transformed and rearranged in order for improved viewability. The HTML and CSS code differ, but that is because the pages will recognize the device viewing the page and will serve up the correct code. Pretty cool, huh?
That is for editing an older website. The second option is creating a separate mobile site altogether. We have already went over why this is a less ideal option. If you want to go this route and build a new website, we recommend taking the mobile-first approach in the build. What we mean is that the new website is set up to look good on a small screen first and then scale up. Again, this improves the mobile-first indexing and your search engine results. Of course, building a new website is costly, but at MSEDP we offer affordable packages for small businesses.
Not everything is perfect and it is important to weigh any negatives, however small they may seem. Here are a few cons:
When it comes to any sort of website design, there are negatives. So view these with a grain of salt. The pros will greatly outweigh the cons. Improved search rankings will help you gain new traffic. And the simple fact that if a site is not mobile friendly or the information does not load properly, the user will immediately leave the website.

Data loss prevention is a set of tools, along with strategies, that are set in place to prevent data from being stolen, lost or deleted. DLP solutions often incorporate multiple tools to protect against and recover from data loss, since putting all your eggs in one basket is often not the wisest move. Having a plan in place will help you stay calm and composed in case of a problem.
Effective firewalls safely enable users to monitor and filter network traffic. By using a dependable firewall, you can ensure that only authorized users are able to access or transfer important data. Learn more about the benefits of using a firewall.
When you effectively use encryption for your data and website, you are protecting your data even if it is stolen. Encryption makes the data unreadable by using an algorithm that can only be read using the right encryption key. Without it, the data is useless. This is a great way to ensure your data can never be read, even during a breach. A great safeguard against online theft.
By taking steps of authentication and authorization, you are controlling the verified credentials of users who have access to the data. Ensuring the privileges are dolled out properly. Limited access to users keeps the circle tighter, thus lowering the risk of a data breach.
The utilization of endpoint protection with protect the gateways to your network. This protection includes ports, routers, and other connected devices. Endpoint protection software is great at filtering traffic and allows you to monitor your network, too.
When you have data that you no longer need. Delete it! Users can safely erase data after it is processed and analyzed. Or do so when that data is simply no longer relevant to your operations. And truthfully, erasing unneeded data is often regulated and is required due to compliance laws. When you have less data to steal, you are lowering the odds of being compromised.
It is important to establish some best practices for data protection. Knowing what works and what doesn't is a large part of the fight against malware and malicious threats. At MSEDP, we put policies in place to help with the protection of everyone's data. Here are some common practices many in the IT industry utilize to keep websites safe and secure.
One way to lower the risk of data loss is to simply collect less of it. Have policies in place that lead to only having the collection of data that is absolutely necessary to your operations. When you collect more than what you need, then you are in turn increasing your overall liability. And thus create an undue burden on the security measures in place. So when you minimize your data collection, you can save on storage and improve your overall protection. It is always easier to protect less data than more data.
It is really helpful to protect data when you know what it is you are protecting. Organization is key. So, understanding exactly what you have, how to properly handle it, and where you need to store it goes a long way in terms of effectively protecting your data. Have policies in place that dictate how to collect and save the information.
It is 2021. Most people on the internet know there is data collection for every site they enter. However, it is still helpful to inform the user about the potential data collection. Being transparent helps and makes the user less wary of using the website. By asking their consent before entering the site, you can draft up a privacy form that let's them know what it is you are collecting and if they are okay with it.
The topic of protecting data is a very broad one and encompasses a lot of details. So it is important to turn to an IT team you can trust to handle whatever specific issue you need. Dependable data protection procedures can effectively prevent data loss and corruption. And in the case of a breach, drastically reduce the damage. At MSEDP, we utilize the newest technologies and stay up to date on the best practices and methods to keep your sensitive data and information safe.
