Appealing to others is really important when you have a web
page. This is because you will not have any personal contact
with visitors and cannot persuade them to buy from you or come
into your store, not personally that is. Your web page is your
medium for persuasion so you need to put as much thought and
effort into the design of your website and how it will appeal to
potential customers as you would into a physical store.
Unfortunately, a lot of web designers and [...]

Make your Web Site Earn You Money
The success or failure of a web site relies heavily on its
design. Designing a web site involves several procedures such as
creating mock-ups, defining interfaces, database design, system
platform and web page aesthetics, just to name a few.
The overall harmony of the web site components will be key in
its performance and efficiency. The ideas that have been the
rationale behind the web site must be expressed thoroughly
through its web pages. The number of visitors of the web [...]

MOSAIC HAS COME A LONG WAY
>From ancient times staining glass has challenged the abilities
and imaginations of the great alchemists. From East to West the
sheer beauty of stained glass won the hearts of Kings, emperors,
sultans and nobles. For a millennium architects have designed
Palaces, Castles, Villas, and Spas and graced them with mosaics
and stained glass interior and exterior elements.
Today meshglass combines the sumptuous colours of stained glass
in a myriad of patterns. The meshglass system lets you
customize stained glass and mirror designs [...]

have not heard this term before, orient yourself and get used to
hearing it a lot. Link Popularity is a term that simply means: A

PART II – THE SOUND OF BUSINESS
SONIC PERSONALITY STARTS WITH BUSINESS PERSONALITY
Creating a ‘kick ass’ Sonic Personality for your business
requires that your business have a personality in the first
place. Of course every business has one, whether you are aware
of it or not, and this is a real danger. Your customers’
understanding of who you are, and what you do, as a business,
may be very different from the vision you have of yourself. This
can be a very serious problem for owner-managed businesses,
where [...]

You are overlooking a highly effective and very low-cost sales
tool if your marketing activity does not include postcards.

When you design a website, it’s easy to focus on what your
visitors are going to see. What you have to realise, though, is
that you’re going to have another kind of visitor with a
completely different agenda: they’re not going to be looking at
your pretty logo and they’re not going to be passing judgement
on your background colour. What they’re looking for is the
content and structure of your page.
They’re the search engine spiders, and they are in control of
probably the largest section [...]

How many times have you read in an online forum or a web design
tutorial that embedded midi (Musical Instrumental Digital
Interface) files are “bad”? Probably more times than you care to
remember. For the most part, embedded sound files of any kind
have been categorized as web site “bling-bling”, right along
side animated gifs, flashing banners and complex frames layouts.
Essentially, they just contribute to unnecessary glitz and
clutter that does nothing more than distract visitors and
significantly slow page download times.
There is historical justification for this [...]

So your web pages have great content, a nice design, but hardly
anyone seems to click through from them to any other part of
your website. In many cases, the problem is the load time -
people are abandoning your site for the simple reason that it
just takes too long for the thing to load.
How Fast Does It Need to Be?
Fast load times are extremely important: usability studies say
users rate them as one of the most important things about a
website. Users would much [...]
