Be BEST KNOWN!!

“if people don’t know you they ain’t gonna buy from you”.

GRANT CARDONE


You may have the best product but if nobody knows about it then it may as well not exist. You may have the best service but if people are unaware they ain’t gonna care.


Simply put “best known always beats best”.


You have got to get known.

The History and Future of Web Apps

By Phil Gee • September 2, 2025
Web apps aren't a brand new idea, but they've come a very long way! They have a great history of making business and technology more accessible for everyone, not just tech experts. The History: In the early days of the internet, websites were just static pages with information. Then, clever developers figured out how to make them interactive, so you could fill out forms or click a button to do something. These were the first web apps. They were all about giving people a better, more interactive online experience without having to download software. The Present: Today, with huge advances in technology, web apps are incredibly powerful. They can look and feel just like a traditional app you'd find in an app store, with fast loading times and smooth performance on any device. The key difference is that they are built with clever, flexible web technology, keeping them low-cost and easy to update. The Future: The future of web apps is all about getting even smarter and more personal. They're starting to use AI to help with things like creating content, organising tasks, and making personalised recommendations. This means that a web app can become a super-smart assistant for your business and your clients, doing more than ever before to help you succeed. For your business, this means you can have a cutting-edge, low-cost app that grows with you, always staying up-to-date and providing a professional service without the limitations of traditional apps.

Website vs. Web App - What's the Difference?

By Phil Gee • September 2, 2025
Many people use the words "website" and "app" to mean the same thing, but for a business, the difference is very important. Understanding this can help you decide what you need to grow. A website is mainly for showing information . Think of it like an online brochure or a digital shop window. You go there to read about a business, see their products, and find their contact details. While it might have a contact form or a blog, its main job is to present content for you to look at. A web app , on the other hand, is a tool for doing things . It’s software you access through a web browser. The user actively interacts with it to get a task done. For example, a web app could be a secure client portal where your customers log in, a project management tool for your team, or a personalised planner for your coaching clients. It’s an interactive tool that performs a specific function for the user. A good way to think about it: A website is like a book you read. A web app is like a computer programme you use. For your business, a website is essential for being found, but a custom web app is what makes your business run smoother and helps you provide a better, more personalised service to your clients.
