Acrobatic… Ants

All of us here at AcrobatAnt like to think we have a little ‘Acrobat’ in us. Compare us to these acrobat skills and traits and see for yourself.

Flexibility –So acrobats can put their feet behind their heads – so what?! We can ramp up a new project or halt one in a moment’s notice.  We can meet on the client’s terms – in person, online, via email or phone. Each client manager prides themselves on managing projects in a way that each unique client would expect.

Grip – Acrobats seem to have pretty good ‘grip’ – they can grab a moving bar and not let go while flinging themselves across an arena. Well, AcrobatAnts have a pretty good grip too. We manage to hold on to our clients and not let them slip through the cracks. Most of our clients have been our clients for over 5 years – and we plan to keep our new clients for at least that long and longer. When we enter a client relationship – we are in it for the long haul. We pride ourselves in our ability to hold fast to our client relationships.

No Fear – Acrobats aren’t really scared of heights, falling or a lot of other ‘scary’ things. We also welcome some ‘scary’ things like new tools, processes and ideas. The phrase, ‘But we haven’t done it that way before’ isn’t in the AcrobatAnt language. If there is an idea or tool that makes since for our client’s goals – let’s do it! No fear!

Friends – Acrobats have to count on their team to do their job. If you can’t trust the person on the other side of the trapeze, who can you trust? AcrobatAnts are a team and we’ve learned to trust each other. The variety of experience and expertise on our team makes us stronger and more flexible. One person’s strengths spread throughout the colony, increasing everyone’s performance. While, a person’s weaknesses are minimized by their coach and team members who help improve their technique and keep them from falling off the trapeze while they learn. Acrobats are team players and so are we.

Performance – Even if an acrobatic team puts on the best show of their life, what does it matter if no one watched to critique their performance? AcrobatAnts do their job, do it well and expect to be held accountable. We make our clients happy by not only performing amazing feats of marketing, but also helping them see how the performance helped their business objectives.

So, while you (probably) won’t see us flying through the air or doing amazing feats of balance – we pride ourselves in being acrobatic. If you want to see what AcrobatAnt can do for your business, contact HalCollins@AcrobatAnt.com.

The Traveling Ant Went to Aspen…

Oh what fun the traveling Ant has… off to Aspen for a work filled weekend and seeing the majestic Rocky Mountains up close and personal.  The ant is sunning himself on the back porch of AcrobatAnt’s ‘Rocky Mountain Office’. That’s AJAX Mountain in the background. After a hard day on the job, the Ant decided to soak up a little hot tub and Rocky Mountain majesty.

Quick Site Review

What can you do to improve your site performance, design and usability? While that requires a fairly client-specific answer – there are a few things you can start with to make sure your site is headed in the right direction. This is just a sampling of the 125+ items we look at during our full site diagnostic evaluation.

  1. Is the site organized based on user’s tasks (not the company’s internal organization)?
  2. Does the site convey the company’s brand throughout the site (not just the homepage)?
  3. Are page titles, meta tags and descriptions updated and accurate for optimized search performance?
  4. Is the site navigation clear and is it easy to remember?
  5. Does the home page clearly communicate the scope of the site?
  6. Are page components consistently placed throughout the site?
  7. Is the content concise and relevant to users?
  8. Does the language on the site invite the user to take action?
  9. Is the company’s contact information easily accessible?
  10. Are the pages to ‘heavy’ for quick user load times?

Busy getting ready for the grand opening!

The ants in the colony are busy getting ready for the open house this week. It seems that every day brings something else forgotten or that needs a little touching up here and there. All of the ants are making sure that everyone is getting the place ready for the final inspection. There is much to be done and a short time to do it…

On a business note: Have you checked out the blog for POWER-GEN International? Amy Smith has rejoined the colony and she brings WordPress design and build skills along with her.
