Who owns your domain?

Do you have your contact information registered with your domain name? Because if you don’t…you could very well loose your domain or have to fight for it.

There are 4 contact information areas that will insure that you are the owner and also allows your webmaster/hostmaster can manage your domain properly.
The 4 contact areas are:
Organization: Have your contact information here
Administrative: Webmaster’s contact information goes here. Updates to your domain will get sent to this contact information via email.
Technical: Webmaster or your contact information here
Billing: Have your contact information here (depends on who is in charge of billing)

*If your webmaster/hostmaster or another party has their contact information in all 4 contact areas…you could loose your domain if they can prove that they are the true owners of the domain and you’re not. It could be a fight that this point.

This is a new warning request that ICANN sends to all accredited registrants to insure the contact information is correct. Which brings up my question of “Who owns your domain?”
ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) requires all accredited registrars to ask their domain administrators/registrants (your webmaster) to review domain name contact data annually, and make any changes necessary to ensure accuracy.

Under ICANN rules and the terms of your registration agreement, PROVIDING FALSE CONTACT INFORMATION CAN BE GROUNDS FOR DOMAIN NAME CANCELLATION (to review the ICANN policy, visit: http://www.icann.org/whois/wdrp-registrant-faq.htm).

For more information about your domain(s) contact your webmaster/hostmaster or SLGD at domains@slgd.com.
SLGD offers an additional year free with the transfer of each domain to it’s services. Domain transfer is $11.99/yr.

Samuel! I need a brochure and business cards for a meeting!

In my industry…I need it today or tomorrow is normal. That’s just how it is in our industry of graphic design and advertising. Clients always think of the handout, the business card or the posters at the last minute. Because they’re business preparing the big picture. Hey! that’s ok! We’re here for you…this is what we do. Call us (804-545-7503) even if you don’t have a last minute project. When having a last minute project it’s best to hire someone with experience because the last thing you don’t want to do is spend precious time and money with a bad product at the end. Samuel Little Graphic Design will steer you in the right direction.

Here’s a few questions we’ll ask when you call:
• What is the project you want done?
• What is your deadline?
• Where do you need the project delivered or is it for pickup?
• For a printed piece, we’ll need to know this: quantity, size, colors (usually 4 color), 1 side or 2 sides, stock (paper). Once we have this information we can get a quote for you from the printer. We use local printers to support our local economy and you should too…it pays off.
• Do you have the materials (photos/text/copy/logos/font names/colors) to produce the piece or do we have to produce it?
• How many people are in the approval process. The less people, the faster the proofing process goes. So, if you have a fast turn-around project, we would suggest having one person have the final say…otherwise it could be costly in dollars and time. And most of the time – time we do not have.

If all of these questions are answered then I can give you a time schedule and costs of the project.

Give Samuel Little Graphic Design a call at 804-545-7503 (or visit our web site for more information) for your print design and printing projects. We have the experience and know-how to complete a project on time. We ask the right questions to get the best results for any project. We don’t promise what we can’t deliver. Samuel Little Graphic Design has been in business since 1995 with over 25 years of graphic design and advertising experience.

Brochure Design for Atlantic Merchant

Brochure designed for Atlantic Merchant

I had the pleasure of working with Bill Baker of Atlantic Merchant on a brochure for his company. Atlantic Merchant is one of my favorite clients because they allow me to design great marketing materials for them. And what’s the next best thing to having a great client and a great designer? It’s a great printer. This brochure was printed by one of our favorite printers Zooom Printing…they definitely have a niche. Thanks Zooom for a great print job…as always. The photos were all royalty-free and downloaded from a graphics service we have a subscription to. The credit cards on the front were scanned and photo manipulated in Adobe PhotoShop. This brochure will be used by Atlantic’s bank customers as a handout of their services for credit card processing services. Zooom produced 10,000 brochures for Atlantic and delivered them within 7 business days.
FYI: Atlantic has contracted us to do a flyer next, then a trade show booth display.

A note from the client:
Samuel,
I just received the brochures you designed for us and they are fantastic!
Since this was our company’s first brochure, we relied on you from start to finish. You were very easy to work with, kept us informed all throughout the process and delivered an outstanding product. We look forward to working with you in the future on other marketing pieces.

Thanks Again!

Sincerely,
Bill Baker, EVP
