How To Avoid A Nervous Breakdown Updating Your Website!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Introduction

When I decided I needed a website for my business I had no idea of the very many processes involved. Like most people, I thought web design meant deciding on the graphics and the look of the pages and then by some magic it would all happen.
I have a friend who is in the business of web design and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) so I approached him for a quote. As a complete novice who is computer literate up to a point, I was amazed at the depth of initial questioning required to find out exactly what I wanted to achieve.

I had no idea about the various aspects and the structure of the site and I found it mind blowing when I learned about the amount of work involved. So I thought other people would be interested to know more about this complicated process and I have asked my friend to supply the technical information for this article.

Stages in the Process

Target Audience

Before building a website there are important questions to consider. I was asked who would be my potential audience. Who are my customers likely to be? Would they be children, businesses, home owners, sales people, parents or teenagers and so on?

The objective of the website

Then I was asked, what was the purpose of my website? Did I want to sell products on line or use it to market my business and get more leads for possible customers? Maybe I would want to use it as an online brochure to showcase products. Another possibility was to use the website to foster a community so that I was in contact with other like-minded people, with chat rooms, online discussion and being supported by advertising on the site.

I hadn’t quite realised the scope of a website but as I was asked these questions it became clear that a lot of careful thought went into the preparation before building a website.

How to be Found on the Web

One of the first questions I was asked was, ‘Do you want it to be found by Google the main search engine?’ If I did then there was a whole process of establishing Keywords. So finding the best keywords are vital if you want to be found in Google. Generally most users only look at the top ten results so you will also want to promote your website to get on this page for your chosen keywords. By using a keyword research tool you can find the single most popular keyword for your industry.

Your Domain Name

Choosing a domain name is often quite a problem because every name you initially come up with will almost certainly have been taken. Domain names ending in .com are by far the most popular and internationally recognised; the snag is that it’s very popularity means that the majority of the shorter names have already been registered.
So looking at names with endings such as .net; .co.uk or .info may be able to provide you with the domain name you want.

We weren’t lucky enough to have the keyword in our trading name but the text damp treatment inside the domain happened once we identified our major products and services, but if you are registering a domain name now try to find one that includes one of your keywords.When choosing your domain name it is very important to include one or more of your keywords if possible as this can apparently help with search engine rankings. So although the name of your business is the obvious choice for a domain name, it is not necessarily the only option.

Creating a Site Map

As with any project you must have a plan, the better the plan the better the project turns out. A site map for a web site is part of the plan for the site. The importance of creating a site map is to get it clear in your mind of all the pages you will have on your website so you can prepare the content for each page and begin to design the flow through the website, such as when a user adds a product to their basket, then enters their delivery and billing address and makes the credit card payment in the correct order.

The aim is to make the site as user friendly as possible so that there are no barriers to getting into the website. For that reason often user name and passwordz are set for the customer so that they are not put off making a purchase by having to register.
For a non e-commerce site things are simpler with a contact form which allows you to receive enquiries by email without publishing your email address on the website, thus avoiding spam.Web forms can also validate the information before you receive it, so ensuring that the phone number provided does not contain words, and that the email address is in the correct format, for example. These things may sound very technical to us lay-folk but I assure you everything has to be decided in advance before starting on the construction of the site.

Copy

The next stage is preparing the copy. This is not the design of your website - just the words and visuals you want to have one each of the pages.Having gathered all the previous information you will need to decide what imagery you want to use within the website content. As we all know, a picture speaks a thousand words and remains in people’s memory far longer than just words.For each image you could also have a caption, as the caption of an image is the next ‘most read’ words on the page after the page title. Images and their captions need to be clickable. When you click on a picture it should take you to the next stage of the process such as the sale page or placing an enquiry if your website is for lead generation.

Navigation

Another important aspect when building a website is how you want your navigation to work. You can have links within the content of your website, in the text, so there are not just links from the menu. You will need to decide whether the links will open into a new window, retaining your original page open. Next time you go online, you will realise how much thought has gone into the way in which a website works.

Website Design

Finally we come to the design of your website. With people having different tastes in what they like and dislike the actual design process of guaranteed SEO is difficult to get right first time for everyone.

What one person might like, another person might not like. If you are setting up a website for yourself alone then you will probably have some idea of what you want to see on the site. But if, as so often happens, the website is for a large corporation there will be inputs from many people or departments and you can be sure that they will never all agree!

There are a number of ways to approach website design but ultimately you need to create a design brief for the designer(s) to work from. Look at other websites and your competitor’s websites to find out what you like or dislike. The design brief should give reference to the logo, any existing brand guidelines or schemes and fonts and colour schemes, and should also detail which pages of the website that the designer is being tasked with creating visuals for.

The very best results will be achieved by using a graphic designer, and beware - not all graphic designers are the same. A graphic designer who designs specifically for print is working in a different discipline than a graphic designer who designs for screen and specifically the web. So choose your designer carefully, look at other work that person has done and determine whether or not you like their style.

If you are working in the big time and budget allows, use multiple graphic designers who have all been given the same design brief and request three concept designs from each designer. If the client themselves also do a graphic design, even if it’s a back of the envelope scribble, you will then have 10 concept designs. The next step is to get them all together and select the preferred elements from each design. Then give the work to the selected graphic designer to work up as the final artwork.

The artwork should be finalised and agreed on by everybody before construction of the site begins.

Production

Finally the preparation has been done and the site is ready to be constructed. Now for the more technical stuff! You will need to have decided which programming language to use to build the website. There are two main types for developing a website, one is Unix based, and the other is Windows based. Each one has advantages and disadvantages. If you are starting from scratch then it probably won’t matter, so you can go with the preference of your professional doing the work. My website is built on the Unix platform (apparently!) which is the same as many of the more well known websites such as Ebay, Facebook, Google and Amazon. Also your website hosting must be compatible with the development language with which your website is built.

Accessibility and Compliance

The website has to meet the current standards for website coding and doing so insures that disabled users, such as the visually impaired, can still access the entire website if they are using a screen reader.

Website Development

The best way to develop a website is on the web Server where the site is going to live. This way, those involved in reviewing the work can see work in progress and provide comments throughout the development.

Unforeseen items

There are always some things that arise in any project which you suddenly realise you have forgotten, so no matter how well the website designer prepares and asks the right questions, there will always be a last minute change or addition. The main aim is to minimise the number of glitches that might arise because they aren’t calculated in and they could cause extra costs and delays on the date of the site going live.

Launching Your New Website

The moment of excitement comes when your site finally gets launched and you see the results of all the thought that has gone into the whole process. We put in a lot of work collaborating on the website texts for our new website offering GCSE Physics Textbooks with the design agency and when the site went live it was a real feeling of achievement.

Reporting and Monitoring

Once your website is up and running, you will want to know how many people visit your website and from that number how many actually buy the products or place an enquiry. From these statistics you can work out the ratio of visits to sales and gradually make changes to improve the ratios. There are some reliable statistics packages such as Google Analytics or Web-Stat.com which allow you to collect and review website visitor data in near real time. All you need to do this is to have a small block of code inserted into each web page on your site.

Another useful service that Web-stat.com provides is to monitor the website and warn you by email or text message if the site is not reachable. Google Analytics doesn’t yet provide a comparable uptime monitoring service, maybe they just decided it was too much of a headache as it is an intensive service checking a website every 5 minutes to make sure it is still responding and indeed web-stat do promote this difference as one of their unique selling points but it is pretty hard to compete with free. In fact Google Analytics is not quite free, which makes it an even better marketing decision for Google because sometimes it is harder to give things away for free than it is to sell them! Google Analytics is a free service available to Google AdWords advertisers, you don’t actually have to have any AdWords campaigns running but it will cost you a one-time activation fee of £5 (or similar in your local currency) to open your AdWords account, but once you have done that you can go on to use Google Analytics for as many websites as you like.(I am sure there probably is an upper limit to how many websites you can monitor from one account but my web design friend says he has not yet hit that limit and he’s got about 50 sites being tracked in his account!)

Marketing

Once the website is live there are lots of things you can do to market your product or service. The first step is to submit it to the search engines and at the same time write articles, and press releases. Getting links to the site from forums, blogs and other social networking spaces are other options. For more on this subject ask your designer about SEO

Conclusion

Wheww. What an amazing amount of work! I hadn’t realised when I started the process of getting a website up and running, how complicated it all is and how many factors you have to consider before even designing the website. The word web design is really a misnomer, as people often think it’s just about the graphic design on the home page, and the branding of the product. Unless you are a computer buff, most people have no idea how much goes into designing and building a website and the systems that support the work you want it to do. I hope that this article will give readers an understanding and insight into the whole process of website development from start to finish.

Top Tips for Home Decoration using wall lights

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Any good interior designer will tell you to start with a central point of your room, around which your decorative objects may flow. Once you have selected your focus, find pictures in magazines and decorating books for inspiration. Then follow these 10 tips to decorate the interior of your home successfully:

1. Choose a base object of decoration: select an object of great impact as a starting point. This piece can be a floor cushion with a beautiful fabric, a poster or a painting, a floral arrangement, a vase, a rug or anything that goes well with your style. This object will set the style, theme and tone you expect to create in space and help determine your overall combination of colors.

2. Extend the color: Colors are one of the most important elements in the decoration of a house and gives harmony, co-ordination and endless possibilities to a space

Generally, a space has three main colors in descending proportions: a main color, secondary color and an accent color. Repeat the accent color in all parts of your environment in different ways (repeat at least three times) with a few strategically placed objects.

For example, put a red decorative throw and pillows on the couch, a rug decorated with touches of red on the floor, then add some red candles to the fireplace or frame your paintings in red to draw some of the accent color up onto the walls.

3. Illumination: The lighting of a space is as important as the colors you choose.

Ceiling light fixtures are in most cases the only design element you will add to the biggest open space you are likely to ever come across in interior design, so think carefully how to utilize it. savoy house lighting can also completely transform a space as a piece of art by itself and also by giving other wall art and ornaments on shelves a new look choosing a nice kitchen lighting fixtures.

Table lamps, floor lamps and candles strategically placed in space can add warmth and interest where you need it most. Adding a new shade to a lamp also instantly changes the quality of light and the overall feel in the room.

Think about the effect you wish to achieve: crystal-accented light fixtures add sparkle, glamour and interesting plays of light and shadow. Murano and stained glass adds color and warmth. Brass, steel, wrought iron or copper can add anything from a classic to contemporary or modern to renaissance feel. Keep always open mind your choices about antique brass chandelier.

4. Finding a theme for your project is creative and enjoyable! A good theme will say something about yourself and your interests and will greatly simplify your decorating decisions when shopping.

Say your theme is Mediterranean decor, minimalistic decor, tropical decor or cabin decor, in each case the objects you choose will be basic enhancers in creating the look you want.

For example, you can easily create an “Old European” theme by adding some colorful glazed bowls, an oil painting (or print of one), simply adding a small chandelier or perhaps changing the wall color to tones of rich or soft pastels, or both.

The home is also a wonderful place to reflect the seasons with different holiday decorations. Have fun decorating with fall palates of oranges, browns reds and ocres, or let your living room be reborn with fresh cut flowers and fresh, bright colors for spring.

5. The fireplace: Yes, not everyone has one, but if you do, it is often the most important architectural element of a space and therefore the center point. Fireplace accessories including fireplace screens and tool sets come in a variety of shapes, sizes and themes to suit your taste.

Candles can make a unique design statement anywhere, but your fireplace is the perfect place to also use them, especially during summer. Add candles of different heights, colors and textures.

When decorating your mantel, bookcase or shelf, always do it with an asymmetrical arrangement of an odd number of decorative items like vases, in a range of scales and textures.

6. Decorate the walls: Pretend that your walls are a blank page, regardless of the color of paint. There are many items to decorate your walls, from paintings and posters to shelves, tapestries, sconces and boxes which make it difficult to know where to start. Remember to put your theme or style as the ordering principle.

Acrylic display shelves, highly fashionable posters, reinforce a modern style, while black and white pictures in wooden frames can create a sense of antiquity. To unify a group of pictures, frame them in similar frames.

Synchronize your wall art in relation to the size of the wall and furniture. The landscape paintings and posters with images of a scene open a small space and create “a window outside”, as do mirrors. Whereas modern art works well in wide open spaces and bring you “in”.

Find a Legit Home Based Business and be very Profitable

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Did you know there are as many legit home based businesses that do very well on the internet? Sure you have heard or even experienced a scam business on the internet but there are more legit businesses than scams on the internet.

So why does it seem so hard to find a legit home based business to start with? It really isn’t too hard to find them but being new to the internet and not having very much experience in handling businesses can overwhelm you and cause one to be very pessimistic.

Another reason why people become so pessimistic and call what would be a good business a scam is because of the failure rate among new starters in the internet business. It has been stated that up to 90% of beginners quit or fail to make an income from their new internet business.

Is starting an internet business very hard to do? The answer is no! Starting a business on the internet is probably the easiest way to start any business there is. Believe me, starting a business in a brick and mortar world is much harder to do and the failure rate is as high if not higher!

Now the good news is that anyone with common sense and a strong desire in making a living on the internet can and will succeed. Yes there is a learning curve but if you choose your new business carefully and don’t fall for the instant millionaire syndrome you will be on your way to a successful legit home based business on the internet.

I have found that the best way to over come that learning curve is to find a program that will walk you through each step on your way to making your business profitable. To have someone to answer your questions and to have a working plan that has been already proven to work is the key.

With a good plan to follow and a support system you are on your way to being the 10% of successful businesses on the internet.

Fight Memory Loss

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

The brain cells being part of the body grow old too. Years of constant use (and abuse) results to mild memory loss and lesser mental sharpness which results to needing a longer time to learn new things. These age-related memory problems are easily addressed by feeding the brain food supplements that will help in keeping the brain healthy.

1)  B Complex Vitamins

These are essential nutrients that enhance the health of the immune and nervous system. B vitamins are water soluble they must be replenished daily because any excess gets eliminated through urinating.

2)  Vitamin B9

(also known as Folic Acid or Folate) aids in the production of red blood cells and improve a sense of well-being and mental alertness. In fact in an Australian study it was found out that eating food rich in folic acid was associated with faster information processing and memory recall.
 
3)  Choline

This is necesary to the development of the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain; it is also involved in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain that regulates mood, appetite, behavior, memory, etc.

4)  Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC)

It is an amino acid (a building block for proteins) that is naturally produced in the body. It helps the body produce energy. It is also used to treat a variety of mental problems such as age-related memory loss, depression, poor circulation, and thinking problems associated with alcoholism.

5)  Gingko Biloba

A popular herb used to improve blood flow to and from the brain has been shown to successfully treat or lessen the effects of certain memory problems such as Alzhiemer’s disease.

6)  Procera AVH

It contains the ingredients: Vinpocetine, Huperzine, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine proven safe and effective aid in improving concentration and combating memory loss.

An important caveat is it is always a good idea to consult with your health provider before taking any of these supplements. Some of these supplements have been know to react negatively with blood thinners and blood sugar lowering medications. Also read product labels to determine that any food supplement you buy is authentic and has passed FDA standards.

Manchester Pest Control

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

 

Pest and vermin control in the North West has seen a lively start this year which is unexpected given the somewhat cold winter of 2009/10.

 

 

Pest and Vermin controllers were kept occupied with the usual town centre rat infestations throughout the winter of course, but the relatively cold early part of the year has already brought some ant problems reported.

 

 

The fairly wet summers of 2008 and 2009 were not to the benefit of the hymenoptera (bees, ants, sawflies and wasps) but 2010 looks like it will be a busy year for ant work.

 

 

Often ants build nests under the floors of houses and inside cavity walls causing a large number of foraging ants to enter kitchens and food cupboards.

 

 

However it is at the mating time when they can be most troublesome as they produce winged males and winged queens which then fly off to mate.

 

 

The emergence of several thousands of these flying ants inside your home can be horrible indeed.

 

 

A somewhat new pest was especially numerous in the Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire area last season, the Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci).

 

 

It was rare for pest controllers in Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to meet these pests until lately but they seemed to arrive from nowhere in 2008 and already this season has seen reports of varied carpet beetle in substantial numbers.

 

 

They have a similar life cycle to moths their larvae, known as woolly bears devour natural fibres and can do great damage to carpets and natural fabrics. They can be a difficult and persistent pest to eradicate.

 

 

Pest Control Manchester report that Bed Bugs are continuing their renaissance in the the North West area, regularly arriving as unwanted guests in the suitcases of returning travellers.

 

 

Regularly the first reaction of those unfortunates who realise that they have been infested with these horrible,blood-sucking creatures is to destroy the old beds and buy new.

 

 

This is a costly mistake as despite their name bed bugs don’t just live in beds and in an infested room will be found everywhere within about five metres of the bed, in cupboards, drawers etc, even in electrical wall sockets and the new beds are quickly re-infested.

 

 

Most people mix up bed bugs with dust mites which are not visible to the naked eye.

 

 

They dine only on blood which they syphon from their sleeping hosts. People usually associate bed bugs with insanitary conditions but nothing could be less accurate, they do not require grime, they dine on you!

 

 

Up to April 30th 2010 Harrier & Manchester Pest Control are offering a 25% reduction on their guaranteed ant treatment.

 

 

This revolutionary treatment which is guaranteed for three years, extendable indefinitely in further three year chunks by a simple re-treatment every three years, can be carried out on most properties subject to satisfactory,free

 

 

For the summer of 2010 Harrier Pest Control are giving a fixed price for destroying wasps nests in the Cheshire, Lancashire and Manchester area of just thirty two pounds.

A Look At The Benefits of Electronic Massagers

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Massage Therapy is frequently very helpful to individuals who complain of pain in their muscles and joints, but it can be too expensive to get massaged by a professional. Many of the same benefits can be had by consumers through the acquisition of electronic massagers. These devices have improved dramatically over the years, and you can use them to get a really top notch therapeutic massage right at home.

Pain in the muscle tissue is possibly the single most common complaints that doctors hear about from patients. Almost invariably there is no medical problem underlying these symptoms. They are simply the result of living your life. But if you’re hurting, it can significantly interfere with your ability to live normally and enjoy your life.

Therapeutic massage is one of the best remedies for these problems. It can be an effective way to alleviate the pain and make it easier to move about normally. A lot of patients will also tell you that it is profoundly relaxing and restorative. Of course, there is little need to remind you to make it a point to ask your doctor’s advice beforehand so that you can be sure there are no medical problems underlying your symptoms. And then when you are sure you are in good health, some basic kneading may be the solution to your problems.

However, professional massage therapy is too expensive for many people to justify, especially in a lackluster economy. If you feel like you really need regular intensive massage, your insurance is not likely to cover that. On the bright side, a lot of people find that home massage equipment is almost as good. I could give you plenty of examples, but here’s a good one: Dr. Scholl’s DRMA7801 Warming Foot Massager

Home massage therapy equipment range from small electric massagers you can operate by hand that apply basic percussive pressure, to more professional-grade devices which are designed to massage specific parts of the body. You may find, for example, that you can find dedicated massagers for the head and neck, foot and calf massagers, or massaging chairs or pads for your back and neck. Even though certain people may not feel comfortable with the initial expense of high end home massagers, you will find that these machines can pay for themselves pretty quickly when you end up going to the masseuse less frequently. Again, there are plenty of examples but a good one is here: OneTouch Chi Swing Exercise Machine with Infrared Foot

The ideal method for you to figure out if a particular type of massager is going to be the one for you is to try it in person. The better sellers provide access to display models which you can test out on your own variety of muscle tension to find out if the way a specific machine works will do what you need it to do. Other than that, you will have to rely on internet reviewers to see how well it works for people experiencing your type of pain, and use that information to decide whether or not a particular massaging device will be a good fit for you.

Stitch Your Way to a Great Income

Stitch Your Way to a Great Income

Donna needed a gift for her mother who seemed to have everything. She decided to search on the Internet to see if she could find something unusual she could make. She searched for hours and was finally ready to give up. Everything she found seemed like just a waste of time or would just add to the knickknacks that her mother already had sitting around her house collecting dust. That is, until she found this one site. They offered a software product that solved her problem.

She made the gift and when her mother opened it, she was so surprised and pleased by the unique creation. Now it sits on her sofa proudly displayed like a cherished possession.

Soon Donna started getting calls to make more of these items. Before long, Donna was making a nice amount of money from her initial gift to her mother.

Now, you’re probably wondering what she found, and how she could start making money with these items. Let me tell you how!

What She Found:

The software she found takes a photograph and turns it into a Cross Stitch pattern. By using photos of pets, children, family, and other precious memories, she has started a Photo to Cross Stitch Service. Her clients supply the photographs and she converts them into a pattern which she then makes into whatever item the client wants. These items can be samplers to hang on the wall, pillows, baby blankets, coverlets, or any other item that the client chooses.

How to Get Started:

The first thing you will need is the software which is available under the Resource section at the end of this article. It is fairly inexpensive and they provide a version for Windows and Mac.

The other things you will need are basic cross stitching tools (i.e., thread in a large variety of colors, scissors, and fabric for the projects). You could also purchase whatever else you need for the project just before making it. The software program tells you what colors and amounts you need for each photo converted.

You will also need some business cards. These can be created on your home computer using MS Works, MS Word, or Publisher. Business card blanks can be purchased at almost any office supply store and sometimes at KMart or WalMart. They are easy to print on your own printer. Of course, you could always use a printing service to do this but if you are starting your own Photo to Cross Stitch Service you will probably want to design your own cards too!

Getting Your First Clients:

You could always do like Donna did and make a pillow for someone that you know will cherish it. Make sure it is a person that has lots of visitors to there home and will help you promote your business! Also, give one of your business cards to every person you meet, and to all of your friends and family. Give them two or three so they can share the cards with others.

It is a good idea to take a digital photo of each item you create and put it into an album. This way when you encounter a person who is interested in your service, you can show them items you have previously created!

You could also place a small ad in your local classified section of the newspaper. Make it simple to avoid expenses. Something like: LET ME TURN YOUR PHOTOS INTO GIFTS 555-1234.

If you do not know how to cross stitch or want to use a different method of stitching, you can create your items with petit point or embroidery.

Before you know it, maybe you too will have a great income from staying at home cross stitching other people’s photos!
