Big Sky Internet Design

After spending the last few months redesigning some of our longtime legacy clients' websites, we've had a serious case of FOMO and decided that we wanted in on the action too! ;)

A lot has changed over the last 28 year since we started designing and building websites. Design styles have changed, the devices we use to view a website have changed, multiple DIY template companies have come and gone, search engines have changed, and AI has become a part of our daily lives. We wanted our website to reflect the current technology, style, and services we offer our customers TODAY, while still maintaining focus on the things that set us apart from the competition -- our expertise, artistry, and UNMATCHED customer support. We are the only equine website design company out there that offers a 3 way guarantee, and we've been doing it since 1998.

I thought it would be fun to post a collage showing some of the different looks our website has had over the years - from our very first website in 1998 - to our beautiful brand new look that was launched today!

DID YOU KNOW?
NASA has this cool page where you can see your name written using Satellite images of various places on Earth. If you click on each letter, it tells you the location. Try yours! Pretty cool :) https://science.nasa.gov/specials/your-name-in-landsat/

🌐 “Do I really still need a website?”

We hear this more and more lately…

👉 “I’ve got Facebook…”
👉 “I’m on Instagram…”
👉 “People can just message me…”

And hey we get it. Social media is easy. It’s quick. It works…

👉 until it doesn’t… or they shut you down.

Here’s the part most people don’t realize 👇

📉 The average Facebook post reaches about 5% (or less) of your followers
📉 Instagram isn’t much better—most of your audience never even sees your posts

So even if you’ve spent years building a following…

👉 only a small fraction is actually seeing you on any given day.

Now compare that to this 👇

🌐 Your website is searchable 24/7
🌐 It can be found on Google, AI tools, and search engines
🌐 Anyone, anywhere can land on it—whether they follow you or not
🌐 It works for you even when you’re not posting

💥 That’s the difference between “being on social media”… and actually being FOUND.

Social media is great for connection…
But your website?

👉 That’s your HOME BASE
👉 That’s your CREDIBILITY
👉 That’s where people decide if they TRUST you

So here’s the real question…

If someone went looking for your business today…

👉 Would they find YOU… or just your last post?

🌐 With your website, your doors are ALWAYS open.

🔐 Password Check Time!

If your password is still “123456”… we need to talk. 😅

Strong passwords aren’t just for tech geeks—they’re your first line of defense against hackers who would love to get into your accounts. A good password should be:
✔️ Long (think 12+ characters)
✔️ A mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
✔️ Not your dog’s name… or your birthday… or “password” (yes, people still use it)

Pro tip: If you can remember it easily, a hacker probably can guess it easily.

Upgrade your passwords like you upgrade your phone—regularly and with better features. Your future self will thank you. 💻🔒
