As everyone that has been reading our programming material knows, we are a VERY firm believer in NEVER, EVER, EVER, programming a custom system without performing proper system planning and prototyping first.

Our system planning contract which allows us to plan systems, and help our clients make the right decisions about how they want theirs system to work.  This consultation and planning service, is separate from the contract that engages us to perform the work.

As such, I sometimes get asked about what would happen if they took the system plan and prototype we create for them, and shop it around.  This is what I usually answer, to the question “If I ask another company to work from the system plan you create, will they make it just like we planned?”

Posted in Setting up your Website

 

There’s nothing worse than putting weeks or even years into refining the content on your website, that identifies who you are and what identifies you as unique in the marketplace, only to find out another company has copied your content and is using it on their website, pretending your carefully crafted words are theirs.

How to protect yourself?

We use a service called http://copyscape.com/, which notifies us every two weeks of who has copied our content and where they are using it.

We then follow a process of first notifying them that we are aware of their having copied content on their website, and giving them a week to remove it.

Usually this takes care of the problem!
