Late last year we thought to ourselves: “We’re a video company… why are we bothering with boring old-fashioned written blogs when we can do VIDEO BLOGS?!” Video Blogs (or vlogs, as the kids are calling them these days) are a unique to way to share information with subscribers. So, after many, many days of brainstorming we came…

Just about two years ago, I used eLance to create a logo, and a WordPress theme from WooThemes to launch Demo Duck.com. Both have served us extremely well over the past couple of years, but I decided it was time for a little change. I wanted to develop a custom website tailored to our business and…

When I started Demo Duck 2 years ago, I was working out of my bedroom (or kitchen, couch, bathroom…wherever I wanted really). About a year later, when I hired Stephan, we moved in to a small office 30-seconds from my bedroom. It served us well (and the commute was great!) but as we continued to…
Over the course of the presidential election, which ended last week (in case you didn’t hear), nothing seemed to be more important to voters than the economy. Finding a job is tough, fortunately Pongo helps make it a little easier. In fact, they’ve already helped 6 million people create perfectly formatted, custom resumes. Check out…
