Add You - Website Design Basic Concepts
What do you do when you have a big sales week, month or quarter? What do the other salespeople you work with do with their money? Do you "reward" yourself? Do you "invest" in your future? As salespeople we are notoriously known for the amount of toys we buy with our commissions. Killer stereo systems. Picture Cell Phones. Titanium Palm Pilots. Luxurious new clothes. Expensive lunches. Partying with our friends. We say "I deserve this." I know that's what I used to say. Sales is hard. It gets all of our emotions riled up. Excitement. Fear. Anger. Juice. The thrill of the kill. Your emotions are intense and very real. So you want to reward yourself. Rewarding yourself, is you

This is critical. Your website design is the first impression you make on your customers and visitors. There are a few sites in my favorites and bookmarks that I consider poorly designed. I still have them, because they have information I want. Lucky for the site owner that their content was that good! But one day I will find another site with the same information and a better design. Then guess who will be in my favorites and who will be left out? Maybe your content is great too, but don't take chances on a poor design. Think how much more repeat traffic and referred traffic you will get if you have both great content and great design.
Design Taste Varies - OK, design is a matter of taste and target audience to some degree. What looks good to one visitor may not be so great to another. Here we have the old adage of "one man's trash is another man's treasure". But there are solid basics that go into good site design. Creating a distinctive visual style and applying it consistently is the best way to bind a series of subjects and web pages together.
Layouts - The layout of your site is an important design element. A webpage is a document, plain and simple. It is like formatting a letter, an outline, a report, or an advertisement. Establish a layout grid and a style for handling your text and graphics, then stick with it to build a consistent rhythm and unity across all the pages of your site. Make it easy to follow, pleasing to the eye. Lear
Recently, we featured a story on our blog, about a man who quit his job (a six figure job at that) to pursue an internet marketing business full time.Here's an excerpt of what one person wrote in the comment section:"I wonder who these people are who are making all that money! There should be more advice and real world business plans instead of how easy it is to make money online."Why is there so much advertising that promises easy money? A major part of it is of course the times we live in. With the internet and mass communication growing daily, more people than ever before have access to legitimate money making opportunities. A handful have taken the plunge and come up wildly successful in a very short period of time wit

If 299,999 planes land safely that's not news. It takes just one to crash and that becomes news around the world and flying is seen as unsafe. Over 100 countries are at peace but the few that are fighting wars make the news. Understandably, a newscaster is not likely to think it's a lead story to say, "Well, everything went well today. People went to work, returned home, showered, ate and slept. They are expected to get up next morning and do the same thing." Media has become entertainment. We need to give the people information to excite them or at least to pull at their heartstrings.The same happens with the Internet. As I watched the news last night, I saw a story about some attempt to defraud clients of a bank online. So some quack d

Operating within the ever-changing consumer electronics market, cellular retailers face unique merchandising challenges that extend beyond the typical lost sales due to out of stocks and markdowns from excess inventory – their business is susceptible to handset design trends, emerging technologies and of course, passing fads.When planning merchandise, however, retailers are not completely powerless. Business Intelligence (BI) software, with its predictive analytics, helps retailers improve their merchandising processes to identify hidden opportunities and eliminate lost sales and markdowns.Traditional CRM offerings, while effective at identifying what customers have purchased on past visits, are unable to predict what customers wi

Have you ever been to a Blog and the Blogger introduces the subject of blogging? Well it happens all the time. Once I was on a website which had a Blog and most of the topics were about writing and yet, a new topic popped up about Blog Etiquette and Blog Rules of Participation. Well indeed it got quite lively and then I stopped to think about the absurdity of it all and I had to ask the question of the other participants."Has anyone considered that we are Blogging about Blogging? I mean think how ridiculous this is. The Internet is a created reality, it is not the real world and here we are discussing the dynamics, human behavior and communication strategies of the very process. It is like writing about writing. You know you have go
Color - Color has a lot to do with target audience as well. What appeals to a teenager may not work with a target audience of baby-boomers, and so forth. But anybody can appreciate color coordination. Color coordination can be learned. Yes, it's a lot easier if you have a natural "knack" for these things, but you can learn basic color coordination techniques that make the difference between "tacky, yuk!!!" and "soothing to the eye".
Safe Colors - Everyone does NOT have 16 million colors on their computer. Learn to use the websafe 216 colors. Notice that's 216 colors, not 256 colors. This is a matter of video card capability and you are at the mercy of the viewer's personal computer system. Your best bet is to stick to 6 x 6 x 6 bit color resolution (216 colors) to cover the majority of Internet users. The 216 color palette gives you plenty for design options. Sure, not as many as 256 colors or 16 million, but still plenty to accomplish what you want or need to do with color.
Page Load Time - Now I'll be the first person to admit that I have made *personal* web pages which have large graphics or music .wav files and other things that take awhile to load. The point here is, they a
