What is a 404 error page? This is when a user visits a link on your website that does not exist, a custom message advising them of this broken link is displayed. Check out a fun 404 Error page we built at https://thrivingmind.org/oops.

Time is one of our most valuable resources, and managing it effectively is crucial for achieving success in both personal and professional endeavors.

Since the inception of the Internet, founders have

Since the inception of the Internet, founders have playfully bestowed food-related names upon various elements. One notable example is the "hamburger menu," consisting of three lines resembling two buns and a patty. Users click on the “hamburger” to begin navigating the site. Another instance is the implementation of "breadcrumbs" on websites. These hierarchical menus display the path or "trail" of links, aiding users navigating back to previous pages.

Let's delve into the topic at hand — cookies, yet another term derived from the culinary realm. In fact, cookies hold significance for websites across the Internet.

What exactly is a cookie?

A cookie refers to a stored piece of data originating from a website. Users may be concerned about website “storing” their data and sites sometimes prompt you with an alert that it is “tracking” you using cookies. But what exactly does this mean? And is it always a negative? Not necessarily.

Consider a user visiting a website for the first time. The developer may check for the existence of a cookie named “newsletter." If such a cookie is absent, the developer's code would prompt a pop-up asking the user to subscribe to their newsletter. However, it would be rather bothersome if this pop-up appeared each time the site loaded. Thus, once the newsletter pop-up is displayed, the developer would create a cookie to be stored in the user's browser. This cookie ensures that the pop-up does not reappear when the user revisits the site.

See? Cookies aren’t all bad.

There are many other scenarios where a cookie would come in handy, but it would take a long time to go over each case. We just wanted to give you a basic example in case you did not know how these delicious treats affected your internet experience.

Local Syracuse Law Firm Gets a New Site We recent

Local Syracuse Law Firm Gets a New Site

We recently had the pleasure of designing a website for Rudderow Law, a reputable law firm based in Syracuse, NY. Using our years of expertise in web development, we crafted a professional and user-friendly online platform that effectively represents the firm’s values and services. Leveraging the power of WordPress, we created a custom theme specifically tailored to Rudderow Law’s needs.

The website not only showcases the firm’s extensive experience and areas of practice but also provides visitors with a seamless browsing experience. One of the key features of the custom WordPress theme is its intuitive content management system, designed to empower Michelle, the website administrator, with full control over every aspect of the site. From updating practice areas, attorney profiles, and testimonials to managing blog posts and news updates, Michelle can effortlessly keep the website up to date, ensuring that visitors have access to the most accurate and relevant information about Rudderow Law. The custom WordPress theme not only enhances the functionality of the site but also reflects the firm’s professionalism and commitment to delivering exceptional legal services in Syracuse, NY.

Team V and Venesky & Company: How it all started

Team V and Venesky & Company: How it all started

Team V was founded 6 years ago, combining accounting and technology services together. The company is a business marriage of sorts between Doug Venesky, General Manager of accounting firm Venesky & Company, and Steve Vicario, a web developer who started fixing computers and working on code as a middle-schooler in Central New York.

Team V creates solutions for accounting and technology arenas, keeping customer service at the forefront, and ensuring their success by valuing continuing education – taking on projects that refine their combined skill-sets.

Now, the pair build apps and custom software for clients, using a personalize approach meeting and most often exceeding clients’ needs. They foster a true partnership in the workplace and bring that philosophy to their clients.

Venesky and Vicario looked through their archives to share some memories of how they first got started. Venesky’s father founded Venesky & Company 48 years ago; while Vicario recalled reaching out to a mentor to help him network and expand his business.

Enjoy the trip down memory lane with them!

Team V Offers Time and Activity Tracking Solution

Team V Offers Time and Activity Tracking Solution

Companies whose employees are paid from Federal grants must keep contemporaneous records to document time, and therefore dollars, spent on those grants. Team V has a cloud-based solution that allows those companies to throw away paper solutions like spreadsheets – streamlining workflows and creating efficiency, all while staying compliant with Federal regulations.

Team V’s JACK System (www.trackwithjack.com) has a four-year proven track record, compliant with time and effort reporting detailed in the Federal Office of Management and Budget Circular, commonly known as the Uniform Guidance or Super Circular. Nine public health departments and one nonprofit in New York State use the system to document activities for State and Federal Grants.

The cloud-based JACK System saves administrative time, gives them control over staff activities, and allows them to review trends and historical data with a few clicks from their computer or phone.

Some of the highlights include:
· Employees and Supervisors digitally sign and certify Personal Activity Reports (PAR)
· The ability to set Management goals by Grant
· 10+ Time Reports with Report Exporting (Microsoft Excel and PDF)
· Time Certification (Attestations/2nd Certification and Time Locking)
· Mobile Friendly
· Chat and email notifications

Team V launched NYSAWWA Conference Management & Sc

Team V launched NYSAWWA Conference Management & Scans app version 4.0 to the App Store and Google Play. The new version has been completely redesigned.

The app allows administrative users to set up events and add attendee data for those who are participating in the event. The app also generates unique barcodes for all attendees that are only accessible through the app’s built-in scanning system.

Moderators are assigned to specific sessions. They use their iPhone or Android cameras to scan attendees in and out from sessions of their choosing. Moderators also are assigned to specific sessions and cannot access data outside of their assigned sessions.

Attendees can download the app, scan their own barcode, and track their progress throughout the multi-day event.

Lastly, administrators can review each attendee’s sessions and autogenerate certificates of completion.

So you’ve spent some time (and money!) redesigning your website, writing content, taking engaging photos and videos. You’ve identified a team member to assist with regular maintenance to keep the site new and fresh. Think you’ve got this all wrapped up? Maybe, maybe not.

One important aspect to consider when doing website design is making your site accessible to those who have vision and hearing impairments. Imagine spending all that money on pretty pics and videos and a portion of the population can’t see or hear them? But there are ways to make your site both compliant with federal American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and available for those potential clients with impairments.

• First use, a web-based tool called a WAVE scanner to identify contrast and other issues on your site. The tool is free and available here: https://wave.webaim.org/ . Make sure all your website pages, not just the home page, are cleared of contrast issues. Certain combinations of colors may make reading your site challenging and need to be adjusted.

• Consider adding an accessibility widget like Equal Web https://www.equalweb.com/ . This will automatically adjust contrast on your site.

• Go through your website and add “alt text” to all the image files. This function will read a description of the photo to vision impaired individuals who may not be able to see the image for themselves. Also, make sure all videos have closed-captioning so the content is read to them.

• Make sure to add an accessibility policy to your site. The policy should address what you do to keep your site ADA compliant, provide a phone number for a user to reach someone if they have trouble navigating your site. It also should address any third-party applications, like Google maps, for which you as the primary business don’t have control over.

Team V Helped Thriving Mind Turn a Good Site into

Team V Helped Thriving Mind Turn a Good Site into a Fully Functional One: Team V recently helped nonprofit Thriving Mind South Florida launch its revamped website. The organization had rebranded in 2019 and developed a slick, new look. But the staff had a hard time maintaining the highly technical site. Working with Team V, Thriving Mind can now maintain, on its own, virtually all aspects of the site. Most notably, Team V worked with Thriving Mind’s staff to develop a robust database of its mental health and substance use treatment providers. Now people in need of services can easily navigate the site to find what they need. Most importantly, Thriving Mind staff can maintain the service database on their own when new providers come online.

Team V had a blast working with the team at the Os

Team V had a blast working with the team at the Oswego Players, one of the oldest continuously operating community theaters in New York State. We were inspired by their creative work and dedication to Central New York’s arts community.

The Oswego Players work to advance cultural activities of the community through theatrical productions and through stimulating interest and participation in activities relating to the drama; to render assistance, advice, and service to other community organizations and individuals in theater-related projects; and to sponsor an education program of Children’s Theater including periods of instruction for children, and presentations by and for children.

Team V redesigned The Oswego Players’ website and also got our creative juices flowing working on new poster designs for their productions. Go to www.oswegoplayers.org to learn more about the Oswego Players!
