I know you've heard it before - "A web site is never really finished." Well, those are words to live by. You must continually add to your site, reread it, and make it better, update it often. Repeat visitors are generated by a changing website. Try adding a page or updating content of existing pages once a week.   WEB COPY Benefits v. Features A benefit of your product is associated with the emotion that it will conjure up in your potential customer. A feature of your product is what your product does.  I've heard a lot of marketing experts say that you should stress the benefits of your product. By stressing the benefits you are playing on the emotions of your potential buyer. You are trying to hook them - to get them to buy - because your product satisfies their most basic needs. For instance, they need your product because it's going to make them look and feel better about themselves. However, also realize that the internet is not like any other sales medium that you've dealt with in the past. On the internet, people have time to peruse your site. They have time to not only be "hooked" by the benefits, but they really want to know about the features. So - on your home page - play a little with their emotions - but then - get to the point of the subject and barrage them with the features of your product! If you don't do this - they are going to move on to another site which more fully explains their products.   Writing Strategies Visitors must have the ability to scan down the page and find what they want quickly. Try the following techniques:  Keep paragraphs limited to 2-4 sentences. Use Headings Use Lists Use Bolds Write it the way you would say it.   1 PICTURE = 1,000 Words...Almost I wasn't gonna say it but, "A picture is worth a thousand... It's true! If you have pictures of your product - include them. Download time must be considered - but if you create your "img src" tags correctly - including the height and width - the pictures will load after the text and people can read while they're waiting for the pictures to download.  People love pictures!   GRAPHICS Graphics can do good things for your site - but consider them very, very carefully.   Positives Graphics can create consistency - allowing your visitors to know they are at your site on every page. Graphics can aid in navigation - a button/background theme set will create consistency and help your visitors find all of your pages. Graphics can give your site a professional appearance which will help your credibility.   Negatives Graphics can annoy or confuse people - loud and flashy animation make it difficult to read text. Graphics can slow your download time. Graphics can give the wrong message - do your graphics go with your products?   NAVIGATION Navigation is how your visitors get around. If your visitors cannot find their way around - they are undoubtedly going to leave! Try these strategies:   Your main directory should have a maximum of 8 links. Organize your site in a hierarchical fashion - use a main directory and subdirectories if you need to. Don't underline text - unless it is a link. If you're creative - use graphics to make a "navigational bar" or button links. Layout your navigation on paper before implementing it on the web.   CREDIBILITY Your credibility is of utmost importance when you design your site. Credibility can be achieved in several ways - here is a list:   Testimonials Guarantee or Warranty Professional Graphics and Design Secure Credit Card Processing Your Own Domain Name Complete Contact Information A Privacy Statement   PROMOTION If you remember that search engines are not the end-all-be-all, you will do just fine.

Start to write everything down - keep track of which directories or search engines you've submitted to, keep track of your contacts, keep track of changes to your website and when you need to implement new changes. Did I say, "Keep track?"   RESEARCH The Web changes fast, technology changes fast, keep pace with the developments in the following ways:   Subscribe to Newsletters Visit News Sites Visit sites which give out free advice on web design and/or promotion.

It is still, however, a vague concept to most small business owners, and the benefits are not always clear to those who actually consider a digital signage implementation. They often ask what is digital signage and what can it do for my business. Digital Signage is a rather broad term that covers a range of various applications and technologies. In general, digital signage refers to electronic signs such as a plasma display, which can be administered remotely without the cost of physically changing a piece of signage. Changing digital signage is cost effective and can be done in seconds from one location. It allows the network user to send content to an infinite number of displays at one time. Digital signage installations can take the form of scrolling message boards, plasma screens, large projection screens, as well as other display types such as organic LED. Some digital signage have been changing the meaning of what is digital signage by creating some unique installations. For example, there have been some firms offering polarized projection film, which allows high-contrast digital signage images to be projected directly onto store windows. Digital signage is normally implemented in high traffic areas, and thus, it is important to go with a robust and stable digital signage software package to ensure that the right messages appear at the right times on the right displays. As mentioned earlier, however, all of this digital signage technology is useless if it does not produce some tangible benefit for the locations that deploy digital signs. Businesses need to know what their digital signage ROI will be before making the big decision. The advertisers, content partners, and viewers also need to be able to justify their involvement in the whole digital signage concept. This has made return-on-investment a hot topic in the digital signage industry. Those firms who can best show the benefit are winning the contracts.

What are the benefits?  How do you SEO a CMS or drupal site? What Are the benefits of a CMS? A content management system or CMS is capable of standard web design standards, however, its ease of use and flexibility are truly what make CMS so beneficial for business.     For example a CMS can be developed allowing predefined users access to the site through an administration panel from which one can change & modify Site Design Text Add or Delete Drupal Modules Images     All this can be accessed using a standard web browser.  There is no need to open a HTML editing program, make changes then open a FTP program to upload the changed files to their servers.     Another excellent feature of a CMS is the ability to create different types of sites at the push of a button or a "check mark" in a box.  Want a form on your site? No problem, its done.  A Blog?  Finished.  All these features are accessed through the admin panel and are instantly applied.     Since CMS sites are so easy to modify and change or update they are usually handled better by search engines and are almost optimized from the start. They are not as static as normal sites therefore the search engines keep coming back for more. For more SEO tips for your Drupal site - see the videos below. seo Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:00:55 -0600
