Cost-Effective Prices to Establish Your Web Presence

CC InkBuilding and maintaining a web site can be a pricey proposition for a small business, costing thousands of dollars just to get the site up! Although today’s digital society makes having a web site a necessity, this cost may be prohibitive for a new business—and often not worth the exorbitant costs of having a site of one’s own.

At V Magazine for Women and Communication Creations, Ink, we understand the challenges that small businesses face. We have been committed to helping the underdog for over five years, and have decided to extend that assistance by providing hosted web sites for a mere fraction of the cost.

Shop Richmond, Virginia

A Way to Give Back to Ourselves, in Richmond, Virginia

by John Ram

March 19-21, 2010 will be forever known as Shop RVAShop Richmond Weekend. That weekend will be a celebration of Greater Richmond's locally owned businesses. Alchemist at the Original Stony PointTo commemorate the occasion, Shop RVA will be implementing a number of initiatives to encourage residents to shop and dine locally that weekend.

One initiative is the kick-off at Shop Richmond Weekend's Campaign Office. On Saturday, March 20th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. all are welcome to stop by Artisan Alley (Headquarters of Curated Culture's First Fridays Artwalk) located at 323 W. Broad Street, Richmond, VA 23220 to have fun and win prizes, all while learning more about your local businesses. Shop RVA will also be promoting various local businesses via grassroots media and community outlets.

The campaign is a fight not only for the survival of the Richmond economy, but also for the preservation of culture and art endemic to Richmond, Virginia. How further must we wait for aid from our government that will not come anytime soon? The recession has taken its toll on our country and with devastating results. States are cutting back on programs and increasing taxes to reduce their budgetary deficits. And unemployment is still rampant across the country.

Despite the outlook we can persevere. The more we support our Richmond based businesses, the better we're equipped in reducing our carbon footprint, strengthening our local economy and increasing job creation. We can not stress enough the importance of the public's role and support in this matter. For our sanctity, for our heritage,  and for Richmond, we urge all residents to come out the weekend March 19-21, 2010 and buy locally.

Two local Richmond, Virginia female writers, Sylvia Hoehns Wright and Connie Lapallo, have contributed to contemporary Richmond with their two works of historical interest with meaningful personal undertones. Wright wrote A Path Worn Smooth and Lapallo wrote Dark Enough to See the Stars in a Jamestown Sky. Both are reviewed here by V reviewer Brenda Seward, owner of Simple Pleasures Books & Gifts.

A Path Worn Smooth, by Sylvia Hoehns Wright

A Path Worn Smooth by Sylvia Hoehns WrightIn A Path Worn Smooth, we are given the history and heritage of the path this author has walked throughout her life, while at the same time she shares advice on how we can walk a similar path. Using remembrances of times past and her family’s long history in the Henrico area Wright creates guideposts that all of us can use to navigate our own life paths. Touching on subjects such as mentoring, networking, cancer, care giving, and becoming the willing or unwilling curator of your family’s possessions, Wright offers experience based advice seasoned with reflection and the wisdom of those who influenced her.
