When the fake "Tom" email asked our clients for $450 in renewals, the folks who KNEW what they pay for their website didn't even blink.

Everybody else had to stop and wonder.

Ten minutes and one list fixes that. Domain, hosting, email, who you pay and when.

Then a fake renewal sticks out like a sore thumb!

What goes on the list 👇

How do I keep track of my website renewals? Write them down. One list, about ten minutes of work, and it makes most fake renewal emails obvious the second...

🚨 SCAMMERS ARE AT IT AGAIN! 🚨

Well, it looks like the scammers are getting a little more creative! 🤦‍♀️

We want to give our clients and friends a heads-up about another fraudulent email making the rounds, pretending to come from Aggieland Website Design.

This one is particularly sneaky because they're using our company name, Tom's name, his photo, and even our business contact information to make the email look legitimate.

But here's what you need to know

📧 ALWAYS check the actual email address! Even though the email looks like it's coming from us, it's being sent from a Gmail account. We do NOT use Gmail for our business correspondence. Our emails come from our company domain.

💻 We do NOT build or design WordPress websites! Never have. Our websites are custom-built, so any email claiming your WordPress website needs updates from us is a BIG red flag!

⚠️ Don't let the familiar names and photos fool you. Scammers can copy email signatures, logos, photos, and contact information to make their messages appear legitimate.

If you ever receive an email supposedly from us that seems suspicious, PLEASE contact us directly before clicking links, replying, or providing any information.

We've been building websites and taking care of our clients for over 28 years, and protecting those relationships is incredibly important to us.

Please share this post! These scammers aren't just targeting our clients, and a little awareness can save someone a whole lot of headaches!

At 3:28 in the morning on September 17th, "I" emailed some of our clients.

Real logo. My actual picture. Signed "Mark Abrams." 🙄

I have never once been Mark Abrams!

He wanted $450 to renew your "themes and plugins," which is WordPress talk... and we don't even build on WordPress.

How to spot the next one 👇

Why do scammers pretend to be your web designer? Because most business owners can't say off the top of their head what they pay for their website, who the...

🍂 HELLO, OCTOBER!

New month. New quarter. And just like that, we’re heading into the final three months of 2026.

Before the holidays hit and another year flies by, take a look at your business online.

Does your website show where your business is TODAY, or where it was years ago?

Maybe it’s outdated. Maybe it doesn’t work well on a phone. Maybe your services have changed. Or maybe you’ve been saying “I really need to do something with that website” for way too long. 😉

October is a pretty good time to finally DO IT.

Whether you need a brand-new website or just need to bring the one you have back to life, Aggieland Website Design is here to help.

Let’s finish 2026 strong and make sure your business is ready for 2027.

We put a file on our website that no customer will ever see. It is called llms.txt, and all it does is explain our business to AI in plain English.

The 100% honest take? Nobody has proven it works. No major AI company has confirmed they even read it.

We did it anyway.

Why? Because writing it forced us to say exactly what this business IS, on one page, with nowhere to hide. (And better safe than sorry!)

That part alone was worth the hour!

What is an llms.txt file? It is a plain text file that sits on your website and describes your business in simple language, written for machines rather th...

Scam alert for our clients

Some of our clients are getting an email that looks like it's from me. It comes from [email protected], is signed "Mark Abrams," and asks for $450 for website renewals, themes and plugins. It even offers to send a payment link.

That email is not from us!!!
Please don't reply, click anything or pay.

Real emails from us always come from an .com, .com OR .com address, and renewals come on our normal invoice.

If you're ever unsure, call me at 979-217-1544.

If you got this email, please mark it as spam or phishing and delete it. And thanks to the client who sent it our way this morning!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years. 🇺🇸

For so many of us, September 11, 2001 is frozen in time. We remember where we were, what we were doing and who we were with when we first heard.

Today we honor those we lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, their families, and all those who stepped up to serve our country afterward.

Where were you on September 11th when you heard?

I was taking the kids to school ❤️🤍💙

25 years later, we still remember.

Where Does AI Get Its Information About My Business?

We killed a service name last summer. The Signature Package.

The AI's kept selling it for MONTHS.

Why? Some third-party website still had it, and our own website was not specific enough to argue with it!

An AI is not just reading your website. It is reading directories, old profiles, and whatever somebody wrote about you back in 2019.

Do the search, find that old stuff and get rid of it. Then make sure your site is specific enough so it wins the fight over the third party website.

Read about it in our blog post in the comments.
