Our new website design shows the unique combination of our technical and creative sides through imagery, content, and copywriting. The entire staff had a hand in the creative process and it was a blast! The ideas flowing were amazing and the end result is something we are really proud to display. We somehow managed to squeeze it in with all our client commitments, and the First Net staff is to be commended for the extra effort.

An improved portfolio viewer showcases our most recent websites, logos, tradeshow booths, brochures, and other print materials.

Who's Using Twitter?

Who's Using Twitter?

More than one-half of all Twitter users (53%) are women, and the majority are young. Among users who disclose their age, 66% are under 25, and another 15% are ages 25 to 29.

Most Twitter users are quiet: 85.37% tweet less than once per day. Only about 1.1% of users update their timeline an average of more than 10 times daily. This means a small group of users dominate the Twitter timeline—75% of all Twitter activity comes from just 5% of users.

Not surprisingly, the more followers a user has, the more that person tweets. Sysomos reported that the average number of daily updates rises from three to six among users with more than 1,000 followers. But relatively few users are that popular. In fact, almost 94% of Twitter users have fewer than 100 followers. Just 0.68% reach the 1,000-follower mark .  For more interesting information, visit eMarketer.com.

Client Testimonial

"First Net Impressions did a complete branding job for us. They created our logo, advertising print pieces, and our website. I have received many compliments on how wonderful our website looks, how easy it is to navigate, and how it reflects the atmosphere of the retreat. I gave First Net some ideas of what I wanted in the logo and website, and they created excellent imagery to use throughout all of our advertising. Any time I've needed a change or an addition, it was accomplished with one quick call or e-mail. I recommend First Net to anyone that mentions they are looking for a logo or website."
