THREE IMPORTANT PARAMETERS BEHIND A ‘RIGHT’ WEB DESIGN

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 07:12:16 +0000

If despite having nothing wrong in particular seemingly with its design or the underlying coding or even the content, a website fails to connect with the customers substantively, it just can’t be called ‘right.’ It’s a heavily missed opportunity in B2B or B2C environment where websites are serving as a strong platform for achieving the marketing and sales objectives. There’s no reversal once a bullet is fired with no aim, but you get a learning lesson that it’s no use firing without a target. So, if you’ve once presented a website failing to appeal to the customers, be careful that your next website does not repeat the same flaws. You can easily find various design experts by searching in Google with Web Design India keywords but you really need to understand the design parameters being followed by those companies.
If you are thinking to have a new website for your company or modifying the existing one, consider the following three important tips before the launch or redesigning surfaces:
Remember your website is for your customers to use. If you labor your eyes reviewing your competitors’ sites for building one of your own, a practice much prevailing, there’s a problem with that. Well, with no critical analysis with you on how well those sites perform what base you would have for any judgment on what to retain and what to reject! You need to have a steady focus on the ways your customers will be using your site.
Remember your site is a junction for the visitors to traverse upon on their way to other social-networking sources. You site design has to involve an effort that makes it relate to those other destinations. This will need such content to be developed that can be spread and shared across the web. There should be enough scope to encourage links back to your site for an enhanced web promotion.
Remember you need a structure that best presents your content and not a content that fits the architecture. In your right mind, you would never design a book cover, select a binding, and create an index before actually writing the book itself. Joining those who exactly have that approach with their websites would mean putting the architecture first and then calling a copywriter to fill the gaps. Why should your content be a victim of such negligence?
Bottom line: It’s not easy to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, virtually impossible if your website does not cater to the needs of its users. There’s logic behind matching your web presence to your customers’ web habits. By doing so, you have a unique advantage in that you stand the best chance of winning their trust and cash.

Theme Building The Foundation Of Optimized Web Design

Sat, 15 May 2010 17:02:34 +0000

Theme Building The Foundation Of Optimized Web Design

One concept that needs to be thoroughly understood when developing a website that few Web Designers ever grasp is theme building. There are a few concepts that when understood helps in developing a website structure and navigation.

Every page of a website including the homepage is in itself its own website. This is demonstrated by the fact that each web page has its own specific URL.
Every individual web page should have one and at the most two keywords or keyword phrases to be targeted by the content. In other words every page should only address one and possibly two subjects.

There are six main areas of a web page that are crawled by the search engines that should follow a theme for that page.

Page Title
Meta Description
Menu’s
H-tags
Content
Alt tags

When I develop a web page for one of my client’s websites I take the time to construct a theme for that page. Let me give you an example.

If I were developing a web page for say a Portland OR Web Design and the specific page is about their web design I would develop the page as such.

Page Title-Since this is a geo marketed website meaning their target audience is in Portland OR I would want this in the page title like so. “Portland OR Web Design, website design, Web Designers that care! Notice how I included several variations of the targeted keyword phrase “Portland OR web design. I also include the keywords of Portland OR.
Meta Description-The meta description is very important. To be highly optimized it should include the keyword phrase and at least one variation of that phrase. Also the meta description is viewed by people when your web site shows up in the search results. If I were to write a meta description for this page it would read something like this: Portland OR Web Design, Website Designers and Developers, Optimized Corporate Websites that rock! 555 555 5555. The meta description is written for the search engines as well as the viewing audience.
Menus- Whenever possible to include keyword phrases in the menus that link to your content. This is a textual link and carries power in it when linked to relevant content. What I mean by relevant content is if you have a link that says Portland Web Design and points to a page with those keyword phrases and content that is a well done textural link. Your web pages will benefit in the organic search engines when they have relevant textural links with keywords or keyword phrases in it.
H-tags-H-tags can be very powerful and further define what individual pages are about. H-tags are not to be used for styling! Instead use CSS for styling and make better use of the h-tags, use them the way they were intended to be used for. H-tags should be used in headers to grab the search engines attention. They are like little red flags to the search engines saying “Het look at me, I am important”! There are six H-tags that go form H-1 to H-6. As far as SEO is concerned the H-1 tag does not carry the weight it once had. It has been keyword stuffed so long that the search engines particularly Google does not pay much attention to it as far as giving consideration for how it is used and the content within. You should use your H-tags as headers to break up content. Use it like this, the H-2 tag is in bold.

Portland OR Web Design

Jim Hay SEO is based in Portland OR specializing in business web design and Internet marketing.

Content-Content is very important in the view of the search engines. The content of a individual web page should be specific to the keywords or keyword phrase that it is targeting. In other words if you had a produce website you should not have content about oranges on the page that is specific to potatoes! Simple, stay on subject. It should also contain approximately 3-4% keyword or keyword phrase density.
Alt Tags- Every specific image or graphic installed on a website should be optimized. Optimizing the images for the search engines is simple. When naming the image use keywords and key word phrases in the image name. Images are not viewed by the search engines but he associated alt tags are! Make good use of them.

Golden Rules for Managing Your Online Treasure

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 06:04:08 +0000

Everyone wishes to have their own websites or blogs these days as it has become much easier but there are still certain things that you ought to know to make an impressive website. The knowledge of HTML is certainly a big help in this task and apart from that you also need to know to compress the images for web display. However, it’s not that those who don’t know either of the two do not have their blog or website but not knowing these two essentials is like riding a car with flat tires. You can’t go too far with it. So now, as a blogger or a website owner there are only two options that you have:

One is to hire a professional webmaster

It is always handy to have someone who knows about the HTML and possess some Photoshop skills. So what if it’s your annoying nephew! Cause in the times when you are really in a fix, which you are surely going to be at times if you don’t know any technical stuff then nephew can just help you to come out gliding off it with his skills.

Another alternate to this is to learn it yourself!!!

There are several online tutorials for learning various technical stuff even HTML. In fact, learning HTML and Photoshop is not at all difficult if a little sincere effort is put from your side. There are several teaching websites that can make you acquire the required skills within a month’s time. You certainly need to take out time for learning this as you have a long way to go after you build your website or blog.

Whatever you choose just make sure that it your website, your online tool for making money and you dare not adopt trial and error method here. Based on my personal experience, I will suggest hiring professional web design company India that can manage your website on competitive rate.

May 21st, 2011 Website

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 09:27:19 +0000

New Website For Christian Followers Concerning The Rapture on May 21, 2010.

In our day, and in our tomorrow, we have the benefit of learning from our past and making corrections. This goes for anything from building rockets, riding a bike, and even prophesying Judgement Day, also know as Armageddon and/or the Rapture. One such prophecy is May 21, 2011. It is based on scripture and derived from parabolic language which not only proves that May 21, 2011 is the correct date, but also explains why many such predictions in the past about the end of the world were wrong, including Armageddon for 2012.
One intention of this news is to play a part in separating the wise from the foolish. Of course God is the Judge, the source for all wisdom, and gets all the glory, but there are those who hear His voice through the scriptures (as opposed to dreams and/or visions) and proceed to preach the Gospel to all the world, just as Noah was a preacher of righteousness, and just as Jonah was sent to warn the Ninevites, the true believers or prophets of today are commanded to warn others about May 21, 2011. This is going on outside of any church congregation or denomination. Many ministries are busy spreading the Gospel and focused on this message. Some have a large stage with many radio stations broadcasting around the world, while individuals with even the smallest areas of influence can share with those around them. Technology and communications are in place today for the first time in recent history so that the Gospel with this warning of Judgment Day can reach the four corners of the world.
May 21st, 2011 is not the end of the world, but a day of the rapture, which completes God’s salvation plan for the elect, and the beginning of Armageddon, a five month period starting off with an earthquake of global proportions and ending on October 21, 2011 with total destruction by fire. During this time period, referred to as the Day of Judgment, there is no salvation, only the grave. There was a prophet named Daniel that did get visions of what Judgment Day would look like, and the Bible says it made him sick.
So here we are today, and by God’s mercy given some time to look inwardly at our own hearts while it is still the day of salvation. Please share your thoughts anonymously with others through your stories and comments on others’ May 21st, 2011 testimonies. There is no attempt to convince anyone of anything, as in the end, we will certainly prove God to be true.
