| 12:53 am | Can Your Web Site Design Win an Award; Copyright 2006 Mark NenadicAt some point or another, you've likely come across a website or two that boasts (among other things) the winning of an award for its web design. Have you ever wondered if such an achievement is possible for your web designThese web design awards are, after all, a very nice reward for the work and the care that you have put into creating your web design. Even if you haven't won one yet for the most spectacular web design, it's not too late. You just haven't spoken to the right people. After all, it's not as though the judges for these web design awards spend their time surfing the entire world wide web in the hopes that they'll find someone who is award worthy. Instead, you actually need to seek them out and submit your site to be judged. You won't receive a web design award if you don't apply for one! The other sites that you've seen have already applied for theirs, so it's time that you picked yours up - if your site wins, that is. There are a number of different sites out there, each offering their own type of web design award. Many of them are legitimate, while others are more like under-cover link exchanges. You need to be prudent while looking for an award site, so that you're not just advertising for someone else. When you do find a web design award website, make sure that your site fits their rules before you apply. For example, some sites permit only non-commercial websites to apply, while others welcome everyone up to corporate websites. Similarly, some web design awards sits accept only those without frames, and some won't allow a site that contains java-applets. Don't miss out on an award simply because you didn't read the rules for applying! Of course, prestige isn't the only thing that you'll gain from winning a web design award. These are also very good ways to drum up some extra traffic to your website. If you have a fantastic site - that is, one good enough for an award - it will commonly be showcased on the award site's homepage, frequently leading to more hits on your site. Don't be discouraged if you don't win the first time you submit your site for a web design award. Think of it as a fun addition to the joy you already get from web design itself. It will challenge you to keep improving your skills and your web designs until they are better than the other competitors. To help you along, use the following tips to assist in getting an award:Don't over-do the requests to an award site Don't submit adult sites Make certain that the site you're submitting is entirely finished, without any "under construction" or "coming soon" pages Make sure that your loading time is fast. The award judges won't wait forever for your site to load. Check your graphics and ensure there aren't any broken ones Brisbane Web Design. Nor should there be any 404 errors. Focus on your content. It's just as important in everything else in your web design. Brisbane Web Design Overall, use your common sense to make sure that the site is fully functional, and is appealing overall. It has to make sense, be useable, and be pleasant to visit. Everything else is completely up to you! To get you started with your web design award appplications, try the following reputable award sites:Coolsiteoftheday. Web Design Brisbane com Awardsites. com Netguide USA Today Lycos Top 5 Goldenwebaward. comThere are many other award sites to which you can send your web design award application, but these are just a few of the more reputable ones; ones that will get you better hits, and increased recognition. When you do win an award, don't forget to include it in your web design by posting it somewhere on the winning site. This is very appealing to many visitors, and looks good for the credibility of the site. Furthermore, don't forget to include the award among the achievements you've accomplished in your professional resume, and in your web design portfolio. There's nothing more convincing than an award for a prospective client! Best of luck! Current Mood:  touched |
| 12:41 am | Best Way to Design a User-Friendly Website That Users Can Edit Content When I started my first e-commerce website I think it was very useful that I knew how to create and edit my own websites. Brisbane Website Design Without having that skill it would have been frustrating and time consuming to try to figure out the best way to design a user-friendly website that I could edit and add content to myself. I see this as a common problem with those looking to build websites. Many people pay thousands of dollars to a design who makes them a beautiful site. Then what The site just sites there like a bump on a log, doing nothing and getting nowhere because the owner does not have a user-friendly site they can actually edit on their own. Many people blow their budget on getting the site designed but have nothing left to pay for expensive website updates anytime they want to make a change. That's why I believe it is imperative that you learn how to update and add content to your own website, even if you are going to hire someone to do it for you. How do you update your own websiteIt's not as hard as you might first think. You don't have to take years of graphic and website design courses Brisbane Web Design. You don't have to learn complicated coding that looks like a foreign language you'll never figure out. You absolutely don't have to pay thousands to get a professional looking website up and running. Website BuildersThe first way you should know about to build your own website is a website builder. A website builder is usually a website that you log into with templates you can use to build your own website. This is fairly restrictive but the good thing about a website builder is that it's very easy to use and much like using a program such as Microsoft Word to build your website. BlogsA blog is actually a website, it's just in a little different format than the standard website. You can get a blog up and running fairly quickly and easily and you can also update it with very little experience. The problem with both methods to build a website is that the content is hosting on another website. When you host your website anywhere but on your own hosting you are taking a risk that it could be removed at any time and you are also giving up control to the place where you host your content. My Recommendation for the best way to design a user-friendly website that users can edit content easily is WordPress. Yes, WordPress is also a blogging platform but it can also be use to build a more traditional looking website. Brisbane Website Design It is easy to edit and if you know how to edit Word documents you can probably hit the ground running with this program. No matter which way you decide to go to build your website keep in mind who will own your content when you're done, how long it will take you to learn the program and if you can outsource the work at a later date should you need to.

| 12:28 am | Top Tips for Search Engine Friendly Web Site Designing Want to have a flashy web site for your business. Will your flashy web site will be able to bring you good business. Read about how you can make your web site more search engine friendly and generate good ROI. Designing a website that also ranks well in search engine results is a job that requires a blend of art, creativity and optimization. Wondering what a web site designing has got to do with the optimization of a web site or its ranking, then I must tell you that 40% of ranking positions are increase because of web site design. Web site designing is not restricted to Photoshop and Fireworks, rather a good website designer must build a superior architecture of the website. Below are few features that a web site designer must take care of while designing a website Web Design Brisbane. 1. Do not use browser specific functions, as all users may not have the same browser installed on their machine. 2. Use small and less images, if it is mandatory to use bigger images then slice them and keep in mind point 1. 3. Always mention the height and width of the images in the code part. It helps browser calculate the space needed to be left for the images and the rest of the page can get downloaded faster. 4. Do not forget to put ALT tag on all images, sometimes few images are unable to appear especially if the connection is slow. 5. Try to keep the average page size less than 30 KB. On an optimum basis the page should not take longer than 5 sec to download. 6. Try to avoid "Mystery Meat Navigation". Keep your links highlighted so that user at least knows where to click to navigate to other pages. Try to keep navigation easy for users. 7. Display the path of the pages on the navigation to help user know where they are. 8. Keep the design simple and soothing. Colors that are too bright and too many flashes may distract the users, beyond making your site too slow. 9. Do not use too much plug-ins and fancy fonts. Sometimes user may not have installed the fonts you are using on your webpage in that case your page will appear to him in 'Times New Roman'. 10. You can split your page in two or more tables for fast processing. Like you can put header in one table, body in another and footer in the third table. This will help some part of the page (with small table) to download especially with slow connections, inspiring the user to become more patient Brisbane Website Design. Thus it makes sense that designing a website in not enough. It should score up to certain requirements in order to rank fast and high in the search engine results. With many new or existing businesses wishing to exploit the incredible potential of the internet, it is important to have a professionally designed and maintained web site. You must get your site w3c certified in order to be search engine friendly. A w3c certified site can be easily crawled by the search engines. Now time has arrived to improve your site design and results and increase your traffic and ROI. Current Mood: optimistic |

| 11:57 pm | Interior Courtyard Design - Designing Vertical Space Creative interior courtyard design has some of its own special considerations and rules. Generally, youll follow the same rules as designing small gardens. The main difference and consideration will be in effectively using your vertical space - the walls. Small gardens and especially courtyards can feel very boxed and closed in. How you choose to decorate the walls can have a dramatic influence in this. Merely hiding the walls with climbing vines as most folks generally do, doesnt necessarily create depth or the sense of an extended boundary. Using courtyard walls as an element instead of just hiding them is a much more effective use of what little space you already have. Make them a framework instead of a boundary. One way is in creating an alternate source of height besides the walls themselves. Adding another source of height, another element, will help draw the eye to the element so that not as much attention is payed to the final boundary. It creates an illusion of extended space beyond the element. Its much like the 3d effect that painters create in paintings. Placing a small tree, tall pot, or some other piece of decor in front of a vine covered wall creates a wonderful framework. In a sense, your decor element or planting becomes the focal point and the wall becomes its frame. This draws more attention to the element which has space behind it. And now the boundary doesnt seem so final and hard. Another consideration is in the colors of your walls. Bright and light colors make an area feel more closed in while darker colors create more depth and a sense of distance. Darker walls behind vegetation and vines can actually make the walls or final boundary seem nonexistent. It can give the sense that maybe the garden extends farther than you can see. In courtyards you have very little to work with to start. So try looking at the boundary walls as an element that can be used as a framework and decorated instead of just the final destination.

| 11:45 pm | Ecommerce Site Design Tell Me What You Really Think Site design is a primary determinant in online shopping. If your site looks dated or relies on inferior site design methodology it may be the reason your sales have not grown. Perhaps existing customers are used to the site, but what about new prospects What impression do they have of your site What would compel them to come back Take some time to research your competitor's websites. What seems to work on their site What have they done really well How does this information stack up with your site What have you learned Many ecommerce sites will phase in new site designs every two years or so. There are always new techniques and software applications to assist in the development of something that catches attention and is highly functional. There is one area you should resist and that's moving forward with a new site design that has been hastily put together simply to give your site a new look Website Design Brisbane. Test the links and the functionality of the site design. Have friends and associates try a beta version of the site to bring to light any flaws in the design. There is nothing worse than pushing a new site design that is riddled with flaws and broken links. Many sites have enjoyed using Flash design in site development only to discover search engines don't access the information in Flash. While the functionality of Flash is a positive for visitors it may be best to develop a Flash and Non-Flash version of your site so search engines can read your site content. The use of flashing text or multicolored text should be avoided. The text may get noticed, but generally for very negative reasons. Simple, compact text will provide the best means for visitors to understand what your site is designed to provide. Brisbane Website Design Another reason content is so important is to keep all of your customers in mind. You may have both visually challenged and portable device customers that may use technologies that have space constraints Brisbane Web Design. Many new site designs keep these limitations in mind. Anytime you are developing an ecommerce site enlist the help of several trusted individuals who are willing to tell you exactly what they think of the site. Honest feedback is important when considering something with as much potential as an ecommerce site. A traditional businessman wouldn't construct a building without consulting an architect so why should online business not strive to enlist the help of others in site development techniques, design and site appearance.

| 11:19 pm | Web Site Design These days if you are in business and don't have a website you are missing out on an abundance of customers. Everyone that has a computer in their house will be using one of the search engines (google, Yahoo, Msn etc. ) to look for your business. There are over 20 million searches done every hour on the internet in the UK alone. If your business is not appearing on these search engines then you are losing out to your competitors that are looking for what you do. You will be asking yourself I have done without a website till now so why would I need one It is a good question If you are currently doing well with your business then that is great but can anyone turn round and say that they don't want anymore business If you do say that then what happens if your business starts to lose some customers then you will start to try and get new business elsewhere. A website is THE way to generate extra enquiries and more business than any other means of advertising. More and more people these days are turning to local searches and with broadband the internet is connected in their house 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If you are a plumber how much would you pay to have your site appearing on those searches above your competitors How much would that be worth to you in business terms The answer is easy. . . A lot. 5 or 10 years ago that listing in the yellow pages would mean as much to you as the listings you get on the search engines today. A website for your business could be for several different reasons. You could use your website as a brochure to advertise the products you offer how much more could you show on your website compared to an advert in the paper Instead of having a few lines in the paper explaining your business you could have 10 or 20 pages outlining what you do and the products you offer and give a more in depth description of all your products. For an ad in your local paper for say 3 lines of text would cost you say £50 for 1 week if you had your own website it would cost say £250 per year and the website would be online and available to view 24/7 365 days a year. You could also use your website to keep your existing customers in the know on exactly what you are offering. If your existing customers go onto your website and sign up for your newsletter everymonth you could email them any product updates you have. If you don't have the time to email you could also have a news section on your website that can be updated on a monthly basis and that would allow your customers to log into your website and view any updates since their last visit. New business is good to develop but your existing customers are already doing business with you so why not use your website to maximise the sales you get from your existing customers. Brisbane Website Design All in all a website for your business is an essential to to maximise profits for your business. To generate new business and also to keep your existing customers up-to-date with any changes or product ranges that they could be interested in. More business or not the choice is yours.
