  • It's Not Your Website

    Many people design websites from their point of view. This is a big mistake! Just because you like a certain color or design does not make it right for your website. Remember the old saying, "The customer is always right".

    It's not your website anyway. It was built for your customer and you should be looking at it from your customer's point of view, not yours.

    Remember to focus on your customer's needs.

    Put yourself in your customers place.

    • Look at your site from customer's point of view
    • Focus on their needs and wants
    • Offer a solution to their problems

    Do these things and you will see your online business increase. If you don't take good care of your customers, somebody else will!

    Web Design - Top 5 Mistakes

    By: Mike Marinaro

    There are many mistakes that web designers make. Here are the top 5 common mistakes I have seen.

    Too many Ads
    It's ok to have ads on your website; however, you do not want to have so many ads that they become intrusive. Remember your visitors came to your site for information not ads. Don't let your ads overwhelm your content.

    Weird Fonts
    Just because you found some fancy font that you think is great doesn't mean that everyone else has the same font. Stick to the common fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman, and Veranda. That way you will be sure that everbody can read them.


    Writing Articles To Promote Your Website

    By David Fishman

    Writing articles is an excellent way for you to get free publicity. The techniques for writing articles are numerous and beyond the scope of this article. That is why writing articles are one of the most utilized Internet marketing media today. Many marketers know that writing articles are great and powerful methods to marketing online. Although writing articles are very easy to do once you know how, getting someone to show you the tricks can be the hard part. Both the press release and writing articles are two important steps on the road to internet marketing success. I think speaking and writing articles are effective ways to keep your name out there. Writing articles are one of the oldest forms of advertising on the internet.

    A quality web site should contain at least some original content. Articles make great keyword-rich content for your site. Duplicate content is penalized in the Google search engine results and many other search engines are following. Creating effective web content is a skill that is built over time and experience. Good articles are content rich. The best kept secret of traffic is still the secret of good content. Because content is still superior on the internet, writing articles provides you with a major piece of leverage online. Providing the content the search engines need is a virtual gold mine for entrepreneurs. Content is superior, this will never change on the internet. Writing web content is much like writing articles. Many people don't realize that a website needs good content to work. Try to focus most of your time getting good content for your web site.



    Flash

    Flash has become a big trend in website design over the past few years. However, I do not use Flash in my designs and I would like to explain my reasons here.

    #1 Flash slows down the loading of your website.
    Contrary to popular belief, there are still many users who use a slow dial-up connection to browse the Internet. Flash is not bandwidth friendly!

    #2 Flash requires a special player.
    Many people do not have a Flash Player installed on their computer and they are not willing to or don't know how to install it!

    #3 Flash can be annoying!
    Sure Flash is cool and it looks good, but it also can be very annoying. If someone came to your site looking for information they will most likely get annoyed if they have to wait for a flash movie to play before they can even begin browsing your website.

    #4 It takes a lot of time to design Flash files.
    If I were to use Flash in my website designs I would have to charge much higher prices due to the fact that it is very time consuming to design in Flash.
