Verizon Droid RAZR Review
|
 Verizon wireless just released an incredible phone called the Droid RAZR, which is extremely thin, lightweight and powerful. Our hands-on review of this phone, highly recommends it if you are due for an upgrade. This phone features lighting fast downloads, an HD camera, and tons of apps from the Android Market that will blow you away. 5 out of 5 stars! |

RTW Featured on Executive Leaders Radio
|
Reston Tech Wiz did a small feature for an excellent radio show called Executive Leaders Radio. The show was broadcast on October 20, 2011 and you can hear the show here.
Thanks to the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce and the host of the show Mike Manion for the opportunity.

| Custom Website Design With Search Engine Optimization |
This year we have created many wonderful websites that are helping small business grow, so we want to take this opportunity to highlight a couple of sites that were particularly successful. 
Around Town Movers is a local moving company that helps both residential and commercial clients. We set them up with a fresh online presence, a Google Adwords campaign, and some content writing to increase their online leads. They serve the Northern VA and DC areas.
They are averaging 6 leads a week for residential moves from the website!
Nova Office Furniture is an affiliate sales site for a major office furniture player in the area called Washington Workplace. The goal of novaofficefurniture.com is to build organic search results for the various types of furniture they sell (casegoods, workstations, etc) and also the manufacturers they sell. The site just went live 3 weeks ago and is already starting to gain steam for various keyword terms.
Moving forward RTW will work with Nova Office Furniture to get inbound links and continue to grow their online presence. |
| View Security Cameras on your Mobile or Tablet |
|
We have gotten quite a few requests in the past few months to make security cameras available to be viewed on mobile or tablet devices. This allows our business owners to see their place of business when they are on the go.
We have successfully streamed live camera feeds to iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, and Windows machines from outside the business.
