Client Spotlight – Century Acres Angus

Century Acres Angus Vincent, IA Percheron horses were the first livestock on land north of Vincent, Iowa after Steve Schmalenberger’s great-great grandparents established their home in 1865. One hundred years later the farm was named Century Acres, and Steve’s Angus cattle are now the only livestock grazing that flat land. Steve started in the Angus business when he purchased a purebred steer for a 4-H project in 1957.

The passion of entrepreneurs

I just found out that Sunday, May 5 was Lemonade Day. I missed it so I’ll have to wait until next year to celebrate. The idea behind National Lemonade Day was to introduce, inspire, and teach young people how to become entrepreneurs using the lemonade stand as a model. Great idea. We work with many entrepreneurs here at EDJE, although they tend to be adults! I really enjoy hearing their stories. Many started their business with a single idea – and worked and worked and worked to build the company. They are so enthusiastic about what they do and have …

Of course this was not all at once but it was a common occurrence. That’s just what happened when you lived on a farm, right? And being a farmers daughter I was there right alongside my dad nursing them back to health and finding a place for them in the world of our farm – A …

What are responsive websites?

I’m fortunate to work with talented people, almost of all of whom understand technology much better than I do. And they can explain it to me in a way I can understand (which is a good thing to look for when choosing a company to design and build you a custom website). So I asked about responsive web design, this was the answer I received. “Responsive web design is when a designer creates a web page that responds to or resizes itself depending on the type of device the viewer is looking at.” That could be an oversized desktop computer …
