News & Events in April
April was a fairly quiet month. Most of my energy was focused on preparing documents for tax-day. However, there were a few notable events:
- We officially launched a new e-commerce product; the NN-Commerce Shopping Cart
- We added a new BlackBerry Internet Service for Blackberry Smartphones
Also, I’m featuring one new article this month, and a special post listing (or reminding you of) the many advantages of hiring a professional Web Designer.

New Email Service for BackBerry® Smartphone Users
A new No-Nonsense Hosting email service now allows BlackBerry Smartphone users to auto-configure their devices. No-Nonsense Hosting email users simply have to type in their username and password to have all of the email settings automatically set for their Smartphone device.
This process connects the Smartphone with the user’s email account, providing instant access to their email when setting up the phone. This offering also provides push email services, for specific No-Nonsense Hosting email accounts, to BlackBerry Smartphones.
This BlackBerry Internet Service is a natural complement to our email platform, which includes Webmail and SyncSuite.
Advantages of Hiring a Professional Web Designer
Every once in a while, I like to remind people about the advantages of hiring a professional Web Designer.
- Free up time to run your business.
- You’re putting someone else’s professional experience to work for you.
- Receive a professional opinion to help you achieve your business goals.
- In most cases your website will get done faster.
- A professional-looking website gives prospective customers, partners and vendors a good first impression of your company.
- A professional Web Designer will be able to produce additional creative ideas for your website.
- Hiring a professional to design and build your website is often less expensive when you figure in the cost of your time, the need to purchase software, and lost opportunity costs when your attention is diverted away from business development.
- A professionally-designed website requires less maintenance in the long run.
- A professional can write programs that make your website more interactive and functional.
