How's your website performing via mobile devices? CDG Design Co websites perform far above the rest! This is the advantage of having your site designed from scratch!

Website builders like Wix, Weebly and Squarespace can add tons of extra code into your site. The end result could be very slow load speeds. With slow loading and the need for instant gratification, people WILL lose patients and simply move on to the next guy!

Here are my results from today's testing on clintgriggs.com and also on Hop House in O'Fallon IL (hheatery.com):

If you're getting slow loading speeds, OR if your site just isn't very pretty on mobile devices at all. Head over to clintgriggs.com/contact.php to drop us a note and we'll see if we can help!!

Did you know Snapchat has over 166 million daily users?? If you're not using it, you probably know someone who does.

CDG Design Co now has the ability to create your very own, custom Snapchat filters. Great for ANY event. It's perfect for parties (i.e. Wedding, Birthday and Holiday) and it's fun for all ages.

Business owners, this is also really great and inexpensive marketing promotion!

Charges are $25 per filter, plus Snapchat's hosting charge. (Those charges depend on length of time the filter will appear. Can range from $5 for a couple hours, to over $100 for multiple days.)

I can give an exact quote within minutes!

Commemorate your next event with a little flare thanks to CDG Design Co!

As we celebrate the anniversary of our nation's freedom, I wanted to take some time to thank all military, fire, police and first responder personnel that continue to keep us free (and safe) every day! Thank you!!!!

From the Griggs family to yours, we hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday celebration!

I'd like to share one of my favorite videos of all-time. Such a cool perspective...

Cheers!
Clint

Custom web design > Template design. ;)

If you're considering a template based website from one of the big boys, you shouldn't do it if you value your business, and here's why.

A little joke for you this evening: :)

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.

"Why?" my daughter asked.

"Because it's been laying outside, you don't know where it's been, it's dirty and probably has germs" I replied.

At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?"

"Uh," I was thinking quickly, "All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mommy Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mommy." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.

"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the daddy."

"Exactly" I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Here's a quick fix for making your interior photos really pop. Real estate professionals could really benefit from this tutorial. You really need multiple pictures at differing exposure levels.

I know not everyone has access to Photoshop. I also know that some people don't have the time, nor patience to do these sorts of tasks. I'd be happy to help if they need it!
