New Market Township, Minnesota
The WebWise team recently had the privilege of working with Becky Stocker, a member of the New Market Township, Minnesota Board of Supervisors. Becky contacted our office after discovering our Towns and Villages websites, asking if we would develop a website for their township in Minnesota. Naturally, we accepted.
The Town Board needed a website that could facilitate communication with township residents, visitors, and developers, as well as making it easy to view and download current and past meeting documents. Townships save money by allowing people to download documents rather than having to mail them.
Their website was also to convey the Town Board’s commitment to preserving township living, As well as making good first impression for visitors and those seeking a place to live.
A customized version of WebWise Design & Marketing's Towns & Villages Websites effectively met these needs and more for New Market Township. Here is a partial listing of what received with the website WebWise developed for them:

Are Your Emails to Gmail Accounts Bouncing?
If you send email to Gmail users, this information is extremely important! It is about getting your email delivered to Gmail users.
Don't think it is important? Consider this: In the United States, Gmail holds a 53% market share for email clients! (Source: TechReport)
While Google has not widely publicized it, they are bouncing legitimate emails regularly. With that in mind, I asked Bard, Google's AI application: "Does google bounce email if the sender account does not have a DKIM record?"
Bard's reply: "Yes, Google will bounce emails from sender accounts that do not have both SPF and DKIM records. This is because SPF and DKIM are two email authentication mechanisms that help to prevent email spoofing and fraud. Spoofing is when someone sends an email pretending to be from a different sender, such as a legitimate company or organization. Fraud is when someone uses email to scam or deceive people.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that specifies which IP addresses are authorized to send email from a particular domain. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a cryptographic signature that is added to an email message to verify its authenticity.
When Google receives an email, it checks the SPF and DKIM records for the sender domain. If the email does not pass these checks, it will be bounced back to the sender."
So, NOW you must have a "SPF" and a "DKIM" record in your Domain DNS. If you do not have those records created, email sent to a Gmail account will likely not be delivered.
For many years when most Domain Registrars created a new domain registration, they automatically generated a SPF record, but not DKIM records. That remains true for nearly all domain registrars unless you purchase email services through them.
Ask your email provider if your domain has SPF and DKIM records in your DNS records. It takes time to create any DNS record, so expect to be billed by whoever creates the records for you.
If you are a WebWise Design & Marketing client, and need DNS records created, we will email you about them, and explain what you need to have done.
