Advantages of having a website and an online marketing campaign

In January 2009 alone, Google reports that “Punta Gorda” was searched for 673,000 times and “Port Charlotte” was searched for 823,000 times. Our market research estimates that there are over 48,000 household computers in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda combined (76.2 out of every 100 people in 2006 had a computer, according to the International Telecommunications Union). Pretty much all of the computers in the area are connected to the internet. That’s a huge market, and we’re hoping to show local businesses how they can reach them.

Free Alternative to Microsoft Office: Open Office

OpenOffice can replace many, if not all, of the functions you would use Microsoft Office for. Best of all, it’s completely free for personal and commercial use. Visit http://www.openoffice.org/ for additional information, and to download the latest version of OpenOffice, it’s available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It’s what we at Harbor Data Systems use in lieu of Excel, Access, Word/Works, and Powerpoint (though we have and regularly use Microsoft Office for support inquiries). It has much the same look at feel of Microsoft Office, and can save you hundreds on software support and future upgrades since it will always be free.

If you’re having troubles installing or using this software, we can help. In Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, or North Port, we can come to you or we can install it remotely. Just give us a call at 941-621-3552 or click here to use our contact form.
