Conway's Game of Life
Invented by mathematician John Conway in 1970, the Game of Life is a cellular automaton where complex behavior emerges from just four simple rules:
- 1. A live cell with fewer than 2 neighbors dies — underpopulation.
- 2. A live cell with 2 or 3 neighbors survives.
- 3. A live cell with more than 3 neighbors dies — overpopulation.
- 4. A dead cell with exactly 3 neighbors is born.
Move your mouse over the grid above to paint live cells. After a moment, the simulation begins and your cells come alive.
Marketing for Contractors and Trades Businesses
Tired of a quiet phone and an unpredictable job flow for your trade or contracting business in Atlantic Canada? We implement targeted local marketing strategies so you can focus on your craft while we consistently deliver more local customer leads. Let's get your phone ringing.
You’re an expert in your craft: be it plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, HVAC services, or another skilled trade. Your skills are in demand, but if local customers in Atlantic Canada can't easily find you when they urgently need help—like for a burst pipe or a broken furnace—they’re definitely calling someone else. Is your "phone too quiet," especially during those concerning slow seasons? Are you frustrated seeing competitors getting all the work in your trade, while your schedule has gaps?
Enter Design specializes in practical digital marketing that gets trade businesses like yours found by local customers who are actively searching and ready to hire. We focus on strategies to "fix your quiet phone" by making your business highly visible right in your service area.
The Challenge
The Challenge for Today's Local Trade Businesses
While word-of-mouth referrals are valuable, most people needing a tradesperson today grab their phone and search on Google. They’re looking for '[your trade] near me' or 'emergency [your service] in [your city].' If you aren't visible right then and there, you lose the job.
