This is good news for business owners looking to have electric company cars! Here are some key points for getting these kinds of tiny cars for your business:

• Smart is a reputable brand of car
• An electric model of the full fledged car that can go for just only $12,490 with 76 miles of city range.
• You’re likely eligible for some electric vehicle incentives like up to $7500 off your taxes (US Federal taxes) and additionally more from your state or city(For example, Colorado credits up to $6000 for any large electric vehicle like a car)
• Electricity is generally many times cheaper than gasoline per mile. Currently, electric cars may be initially more expensive but after several years of ownership, you’ll see significant savings from not having to use gasoline.
• You may use a car to help market your business as a more environmentally-conscious thinking business. Additionally, Smart cars can look somewhat unique, particularly in the US, so you’ll get people looking at your car- perfect for putting your advertising on it.
• Why go to a fueling station? Generate your own “fuel” from your house or your business. This idea begins to get even more meaning if you generate your own electricity though more sustainable means like solar panels or wind turbines, etc.

We use a plugin called Beaver Builder to build nearly all of our websites.

It makes websites easier to design and faster to bring a website to fruition.  You can visit them here.

Here are some tips for Beaver Builder:

• Keep plenty of spacing between your elements. It makes it easier to read and less cluttered. Check out the difference between these two images. Which one is easier to read?:
  • 
  • 
• Make sure at the top of your page (above the fold), you state the main intention of your website in the least amount of words as possible while remaining descriptive. You may find yourself fine tuning this first message the visitor sees many times.
  • If you have a special guide or product, why not put a button or link to it right under the description of your website’s intention.
  • 
• Use animations if possible of different page elements. They make your website ‘pop’ as you scroll down the page and adds that extra magic.
  • 
• On a home page, divide amounts of text for any features of a product or service into their basic idea. Then make a collapsible section with these main ideas, like so:
  • 
  • 
• Make text easier to read and get through. Don’t write chunks of paragraphs if you can avoid it. This also applies to email newsletters.
  • 
• Put your least looked at pages (like your legal pages) links in the footer of every page. Your about, affiliate, or contact us pages are fine here too.
  • 
• Pictures do wonders! Have some related pictures to break up text if possible. Particularly useful with blog posts.
  • 
• If your website is solar powered, mention that it is! We tend to put mention it in the footer of our websites.
  • 
• Neon colors. What? no.
  •
