Keeping Your Business Needs First: Security for Your Website and Your Business

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 by Kompani Group Leave a Comment

With recent news releases about Equifax and Yahoo data breaches, along with so many others this past year, this message to our clients seems somewhat timely. In recent months Kompani Group took steps to secure all of our client websites with SSL – Secure Socket Layer – a technology used to encrypt data being transmitted from browser-to-server. Once reserved for ecommerce websites that transfer credit card information or health provider websites transmitting patient data, SSL is now being utilized to secure all varieties of websites.

We took these steps of our own accord for two reasons: 1) Security, plain and simple. 2) As security is an increasingly important tenet of websites, a secure website is now also a factor Google uses in determining rank position in search results. Google wants to deliver its customers to secure locations, so having that ‘s’ in the https:// is now one of the variables they use to qualify sites.

Kompani Group Launches New Website on 3dcart Platform: Bloomsbyheinau.com

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 by Adam Olen Leave a Comment

The use of the 3dcart shopping platform, more than just accommodating.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) July 08, 2014

Kompani Group has been building e-commerce solutions for clients for the past 10 years, and have tried almost every platform and custom code imaginable. When it came time to build a new site for their own http://www.BloomsByHeinau.com they knew they wanted to go with 3dcart for several reasons, among them “ongoing support and automatic updates, a devotion to “e-commerce best practices and intuitive user interfaces” which are standard, not multi-modular based on subsequent purchases, stated Adam Olen, Managing Director of both sites. From the basic tabula rasa, provided by 3dcart, Olen and crew were able to create a functional, aesthetic and customizable website in “Blooms by Heinau” a custom flower shop dedicated to excellence and distinctiveness with arrangements guaranteed to last a minimum of 6 months with no water and no maintenance.

As Olen described in a note to 3dcart: “As icing on the cake, the functionality you have provided, while in some cases is even more than we may ever use, has also proven to enhance our core business. Because of features provided by 3dcart, we are now launching a corporate gift program so businesses can easily sign up and receive discounts for sending our long lasting and beautiful arrangements to their customers/clients/contacts, and we are also beginning to offer affiliate opportunities. 3dcart has essentially created two new revenue channels just because of the functionality that is included with our monthly package.

“As Managing Director of Kompani Group, a firm of business strategy and brand development architects, neither I nor my colleagues took the selection of an ecommerce platform lightly. Our store is a strong reflection on our credibility in the industry and we felt very good about selecting 3dcart for one of our portfolio brands. Thank you for developing a great product and for your ongoing support.”

As Joe Palko reiterates; “We have come quite far, since 1997, in many ecommerce functions, uses & aspects, offering online store enhancements such as fraud watch, the addition of multiple and international pavement gateways, integration with eBay, outstanding merchant-focused customer service, content and social media marketing and a host of other benefits and advantages over the run-of-the-mill retail website shopping cart. We are pleased that Adam and Heinau Flowers have benefited from 3dcart’s platform.”

The Ultimate Disrupter is At It Again

Last Updated on April 5, 2019 by Adam Olen Leave a Comment

Fortune magazine called Amazon.com founder, Jeff Bezos, the ultimate disrupter when he was chosen as its 2012 Businessperson of the Year. Last week, Bezos bought The Washington Post newspaper, a premier brand in the content world, for $250 million. In a memo to Post employees, Bezos wrote that he’s “excited and optimistic about the opportunity for invention.”

“The Internet is transforming almost every element of the news business: shortening news cycles, eroding long-reliable revenue sources, and enabling new kinds of competition, some of which bear little or no news-gathering costs,” he wrote. “There is no map, and charting a path ahead will not be easy.”

Print newspaper is a dying media. So what could Bezos be thinking? Time magazine reporter David Von Drehle speculates that Bezos is “unlikely to spend precious time and capital on trying to re-create the old bundle in pixels while it clings to life in print. Instead, he is likely to look for ways to break it up and give people the content they value in whatever form they want it—for a price.”

Looks like Bezos is getting ready to shake up the newspaper industry! We’ll have to wait and see what opportunities will be opened up for content marketers.

Invest your money where R&D in new corporate management techniques are being developed

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 by Jan Havmoeller Leave a Comment

Re-Tooling the Corporate Structure of Management
Market forces are at work as the traditional corporate structure of management is being reviewed and re tooled in an ever changing environment. Over the last few years many corporate management structures have been compared to the U.S. Government – a large bureaucratic mess that is not in touch with reality.

Today with the increasing size of most large corporations it’s become more difficult for them to evolve and take risk when it comes to incorporating new technologies and ideas into their corporate management structure. No one wants to rock the boat. Change can be scary, cost money, and might not work. On the flip side change can still be scary, save a company lots of money, and can open doors that lead to new products or services.

We encourage companies to set aside a portion of money to be invested in small businesses in all kinds of sectors. The amount of money invested in each business can be as little as $20,000. We consider it R&D for management. Just one breakthrough from a company you invested in links you to a new solution to make your corporate management structure more efficient and profitable. Additionally, being on the ground floor provides a first mover advantage as you take this new concept out to market.

Kompani Group believes companies must be flexible by allowing new ideas and solutions that are not the norm to be introduced into the corporate structure. It can be uncomfortable at times but when you’re too comfortable with status quo you’re probably not growing and someone else is going to sneak up behind you and then leave you in the dust.

What exactly constitutes good web site design, and why should you care?

Last Updated on March 20, 2019 by Jan Havmoeller Leave a Comment

Usability and the utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web site.

Since the visitor to the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist.

Most users search for something interesting (or useful) and clickable; as soon as some promising candidates are found, users click. If the new page doesn’t meet users’ expectations, the Back button is clicked and the search process is continued.

  • Users appreciate quality and credibility. If a page provides users with high-quality content, they are willing to compromise the content with advertisements and the design of the site. This is the reason why not-that-well-designed web-sites with high-quality content gain a lot of traffic over years. Content is more important than the design which supports it.
  • Users don’t read, they scan. Analyzing a web-page, users search for some fixed points or anchors which would guide them through the content of the page.
  • Web users are impatient and insist on instant gratification. Very simple principle: If a web-site isn’t able to meet users’ expectations, then designer failed to get his job done properly and the company loses money. The higher the cognitive load and the less intuitive the navigation, the more willing users are to leave the web-site and search for alternatives.
  • Users don’t make optimal choices. Users don’t search for the quickest way to find the information they’re looking for. Neither do they scan web-pages in a linear fashion, going sequentially from one site section to another one. Instead users scan; they choose the first reasonable option. As soon as they find a link that seems like it might lead to the goal, there is a very good chance that it will be immediately clicked. Optimizing is hard, and it takes a long time. Scanning is more efficient.
  • Users follow their intuition. In most cases users muddle through instead of reading the information a designer has provided. Users act like “If we find something that works, we stick to it. It doesn’t matter to us if we understand how things work, as long as we can use them. If your audience is going to act like you’re designing billboards, then design great billboards.”
  • Users want to have control. Users want to be able to control their browser and rely on the consistent data presentation throughout the site. E.g. they don’t want new windows popping up unexpectedly and they want to be able to get back with a “Back”-button to the site they’ve visited before: therefore it’s a good practice to never open links in new browser windows.
