The Computer Studio introduces new marketing solutions at MetroRAP

The Computer Studio, developers of InsuranceWebPortal.com, are members of PIA, and have worked closely with the insurance community for over 12 years.

At MetroRAP, we introduced new business development solutions for insurance wholesalers, and for retail agencies targeting vertical markets such as law firms or contractors. To learn more, please visit our website at www.webbusconnect.com

Free listings extended

InsuranceWebPortal.com was created as a community website, offering free and low-cost features, with modest charges to defray the cost of building and maintaining the site.

After hearing from clients and others in the community about the challenges facing the industry, we have decided to extend the pre-release period and to continue to offer free employment and buy/sell a business listings (classifieds will always be free.)

Barnburning During the Recession: Cross selling to round out your accounts

What matters most isn't always obvious.

After 12 years of developing web projects for clients, I have found that most people are on the wrong track when they start shopping for a website.

Unlike almost any other product or service, you can’t actually buy a great site. That doesn’t mean you can’t pay a web developer, and receive a great end product. But, like true love, the price is more than money.
