Time to take a step back.
Time to take a good look at what we’re doing here at RSA. The economy is down – way down, and people are cutting advertising and marketing budgets, big time. Looks like 2009 is shaping up to be a “building year,” right?
Maybe not. The problem is, we’re still as busy as ever, and I guess that’s less of a problem and more a relief. Some might call it good luck; I call it hard work and a passion for what we do. And a passion for having food to eat, there’s also that.

“I need a website. How much is it going to cost?”
Ah, the million dollar question (pun mildly intended). This question falls comfortably in the top three on the list of questions prospective clients ask – and for good reason. The company website is increasingly becoming a very necessary part of any business model. So, how to answer this question?
