This is very unusual for Google as there was no warning on their Panda and Penguin updates which affecting billions of websites causing major search ranking losses. So would this precedent setting advanced warning by Google going to be Armageddon for all those websites not mobile-friendly? 

What happened as a result of Google's Mobile Update?

Well, over the past few weeks we have been closely monitoring our law firm and other customer websites and are happy to report no significant shifts in search results, thus far.

While performing our mobile reviews, we did see some shifts in mobile searches however the the non-mobile friendly websites were were still ranking very well. We expected these sites to be pushed way down in rankings or even appear on second or even third pages.

Based on our review, approximately 35% of current traffic is from visitors using mobile phones and we expect that number to climb close to 45 or even 50% by the end of 2015. So this could be disastrous for your law firm or professional services business if this Google update grows over the next few months. Furthermore, this could be a huge opportunity to outrank many of your online competitors who have yet to make the investment to a mobile-friendly website.

Parador launches long overdue website


by Jovan Cvejic, Published:

Parador Interactive Inc. launched corporate website in order to facilitate online communications with customers and alliance partners.

So why did it take us so long?

This is one of those questions without a real good answer. We have been so busy servicing our own clients that it's been very difficult to allocate time to develop our own website. There have been at least 3 other real good attempts to get a new site online and every time it happened to be a big project that came in and it totally absorbed all our design and development services for months.

This time, it was a commitment I made to do a guest presentation at a local business networking session (TRP) which forced us to get content together for the presentation and it also motivated us to get some of this fresh, updated content online. And so here we are.

Here is the link to our TRP Guest Presentation (on google docs)
