YellowWebMonkey wants to help a local retail business by offering a new FREE Shopify website and marketing package.  We appreciate the value of small businesses in our communities. This is a great way to give back to the companies that have sponsored a little league or softball team, placed ads in your school or church programs, have donated to your annual fundraiser, etc.  Retail stores and restaurants are eligible for this contest, and we plan on doing future contests for other industries. Nominate a small business today that could use a free website and social media makeover!

Career Day is a great time for students to gain a better understanding of the opportunities that await them in the future. Teachers around the globe invite parents and relatives to stop in to share how cool their job is in the hope of sparking some interest in a young mind. Being a web programmer, I didn’t immediately raise my hand to try and explain coding to a bunch of kindergartners when I received the first request. However, after the fifth email, I suspected they might be desperate and decided to give it a try. 

You’ve spent a lot of time and money creating great content for your site, but how do you know if your visitors are finding and downloading the content you’re posting? Google Analytics tracks data such as how many users visited your site, where they came from and what pages they viewed, but falls short of tracking behavior unless you install a tracking code on every page of your site. There's a much simpler way to track actions and events like downloading a form or app in Google Tag Manager.

The YellowWebMonkey team has telecommuted for the last 10 years and has members in 7 different states. With everyone working from home, we have had friends, alumni, and clients reach out to us for suggestions. Because we are 100% remote, we have learned how to still have a strong cohesive team even when we are not in the same place.

As many Americans are transitioning to remote work over the next week, we asked our team at YellowWebMonkey to share their tips and experiences on working remotely and how they stay productive. 

During times of uncertainty, business owners are undoubtedly concerned about the potential impact on their business. We’ve put together a list of ideas to help maintain customer and client relationships during this time and offset potential consequences.
