When you build your website you need to have a plan first. The
reason for this is if you do not have a plan you will likely

read the page and completely understand everything, remember
that your website visitor did not design the page and needs a
little more direction. Read the following 10 website blunders
that are common and will make your visitors head to [...]


Build Website But Watchout Bandwidth?

Posted on Feb.14, 2009, under Web Design No Comments

When we learn to build or create our website, often there is warning that bandwidth (or the lack of) can break your website. This is true of course but again we need to look at the context for which it is given.
In short, there are different strokes for different folks.
If building websites can be likened to designing and building home improvements, then bandwidth is like opening your doors to visitors after the home improvements…except you cannot control the number of [...]

Live Support from Your Website? Can You Do It for Free?

Posted on Jan.18, 2009, under Web Design No Comments

I’m a freelance programmer and somehow I managed to get clients, speak with them, and generate leads for years without a live help system. To be honest, I had put in bids for a “live” help system several times, and I wasn’t aware there were free options out there.
Well, early last week I went hunting for something that would be my help desk and give me live support. I had some pretty strict requirements because I am not always sitting [...]

WHAT’S THE QUALITY OF YOUR WEB SITE?

Posted on Dec.04, 2008, under Web Design No Comments

A good web site receives thousands of visitors a day. But how
many of those turn into customers? People sign-up or buy when
they feel comfortable with a web site. If it’s down, slow, or
broken in any way, the visitor will usually be uncomfortable and
go elsewhere. Why? Well, do you like to shop in a retail store
that is missing products, has no customer service, or you can’t
navigate? Probably not.
Many web sites have the equivalent of these situations, only
they are represented to [...]

Domain Name and Web Hosting Hell

Posted on Oct.29, 2008, under Web Hosting No Comments

Does GoDaddy really suck?
I am in the process of registering more and more domain names so it seems natural to look for the best pricing deal.
Registering multiple domain names can add up quickly, especially if you register both the NoDashVersion.com and Dashed-Version.com names.
Each domain name represents a new site concept which will in most cases involve the selection of a web hosting plan.
It also makes sense to pay a little less for web hosting right? After all, all these new [...]
