Working from home with your spouse might seem like a match made in heaven for some; to others it might seem like a absolute disaster. Matt and Stacy Williams – co-owners of a home based business dealing in search engine optimization, are firmly in the former camp. Their home based business has gone from strength to strength whilst still run from their home.

The Williams employ six part time staff; the part time nature helps the employees who often have young children to drop off and pick up from school. These staff work from home and meet virtually via the Internet which allows Matt and Stacy to keep their home based business truly at home.

The tools utilized by the company: a virtual phone system, a Web-based extranet, and a virtual conference calling centre, are key to the home based business in the long term as happy staff are productive staff.
