			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web Site Designing &ndash; Do&rsquo;s and Don&rsquo;ts</p>
<p>Going to design a web site, there are some precautions</p>
<p>To advertise a business on internet, website is a must. As web site is an important part of a business so<br />designing a web site is really a very challenging task to the webmaster or web designer. A website includes a lot of things like content, keywords, SEO, SEM, design, navigability etc but there are certain things that can&rsquo;t be overindulged. If you are going to do more than what is needed then it may cause a business loss for you. Before designing a web site, a web designer needs to research up on website information and finally apply the knowledge gained.</p>
<p>Some Do&rsquo;s in Web Site Designing</p>
<p>1. Avoid Multimedia and Plug-Ins:-</p>
<p>Using pointless pug-ins and multimedia is not a very favorable task for every web site. A visitor will not try to download the stuff out up by you as it is a very time consuming task. He/ She may not get the information outright and this can let him/ her to move on to other websites for more relevant content and information.</p>
<p>2. Use Old Version HTML</p>
<p>It is a common fact that most of the visitors do not use the latest versions of soft wares immediately. Therefore, a web designer or a web master may need to use the previous versions of the soft wares.</p>
<p>3. Two Versions Of A Website</p>
<p>A web designer may create two versions of a website: one for the new version browsers and another for the old version browsers. Go ahead only after doing enough research and when you are sure that this will be of use to the business and it will not cause a business loss.<br />4. Put an email link on the page<br />Try to give an email link on each page of web site. It provides the quick access.<br />You should also keep the following things in mind:-<br />&bull; Include update date and update frequently<br />&bull; Include contact names and addresses<br />&bull; Use alternative text along with graphics for non-graphics users<br />&bull; Add alternative text links for image maps<br />&bull; Maintain an overall style and cohesiveness<br />&bull; Include varieties of navigation paths<br />&bull; Use distinctive titles for pages<br />&bull; Use short file names<br />&bull; Use a spell checker<br />&bull; Provide worthwhile content<br />&bull; Think through the experience from different points of view<br />&bull; Test with different computers and speeds</p>
<p>Some Don&rsquo;ts in Web Site Designing</p>
<p>1. Avoid making a websites that do not tell the users about their operations and business.<br />2. Websites that do not provide any email address and contact information to correspond are useless.<br />3. Don&rsquo;t use horrible, mismatching colors for web pages.<br />4. Avoid using ugly backgrounds.<br />6. Be conscious about spelling and grammatical errors.</p>
<p>Now, it is the key duty of any web designer to keep the above thumbnails always in mind while making a website so that it (website) can serve its purpose.</p>

<p>To use a website effectively, <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.strawberrysoup.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">web designers</a> much ensure that end users can:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Know where they are</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Have confidence</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Be assured they can easily get back to where they have been</p>
<p>Websites consist of a number of pages connected by multiple hyperlinks. These hyperlinks should be defined and placed where they are easily visible. Mouseover effects not only add flavor to the links but also make sure that the user doesn&rsquo;t miss them.<br />Such architecture is referred to as a network, which contains pathways that allow a page to be visited repeatedly from many different locations. For most design situations, structuring begins with sorting out the distinct categories of information to be included in the site.<br />When users first arrive on a site they will have no clue as to its size, content or organization. Users must know what regions of the site exist and a site map can help provide this. Successful navigation should be possible on the basis of information provided on each page. If a page contains a number of clicks &ndash; able regions and several sets of buttons, the user is likely to get confused. One way to overcome this is to design is such a way, to that the structure is visible to the user and she can easily navigate through the site in a few steps.</p>
<p>The Website Homepage<br />The homepage can set the tone of the whole publication and introduce users to the site structure and methods of navigation. It&rsquo;s like the cover of a book, which then draws the user into the site.<br />The right choice of a site-opening page can depend upon:</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * The nature of the site&rsquo;s information</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * The frequency with which the visitors revisit the site</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * The frequency with which the site&rsquo;s information changes</p>
<p>Websites like BBC, Adobe and Macromedia are large websites visited by tens of thousands of people daily and servicing many repeat end users. They contain a lot of pages, covers a wide range of topics and are update frequently.<br />Homepage Tips<br />Direct first time users to the site structure by introducing the navigation bar. Alert frequent users to recent additions. Some websites focus on introducing a firm&rsquo;s range of professional services. Here the focus is on establishing new clients and not providing a random access service. Such sites have a narrative structure as visitors to the site are looking for an overview of the firm, its history and track record.<br />The homepages of such sites must load quickly and allow repeat visitors to skip some of the overview information. Other sites offer the latest information, and therefore need to be updated frequently.<br />If you are not sure if your <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.strawberrysoup.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">web design</a> is effective, why not contact a professional web design agency who will be able to help guide you through the process?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Constructing a Sitemap</p>
<p>Reason for building a sitemap<br />Sitemaps provide an easy way for visitors to see and navigate the layout of your website. A sitemap is not just for human visitors, but search engine spiders as well. Your sitemap should be constructed like the outline of a book. Although this is not the only way to create a sitemap, it will be the easiest way for visitors to get where they want the quickest.</p>
<p>Implementation of your sitemap<br />The method of linking to your sitemap must be visible not only on your homepage, but on every page in your site. It should be consistently located in the same spot on every page so visitors do not have to spend too much time in locating it. Your sitemap should contain all of the main categories of your internet site with all sub-categories relevant to them listed like the table of contents in a book. The links in your sitemap need to be simple but descriptive with your keywords so visitors know where they are navigating to. This also aids the search engines when they crawl your site.</p>
<p>Using your sitemap as a default error page<br />A 404 error page is a page that displays the page cannot be found and as a result, most visitors will hit the back button or go back to the search engine looking for another site. Using your sitemap for this default error page, you will get the opportunity to keep the visitors that you might have lost. Your custom 404 error page should look like the rest of your Website pages. Creating a custom 404 error page is an important part of the search engine optimization process as well. During the life of your website, pages are going to be moved, edited and removed. When your website is re-indexed, instead of seeing the pages that no longer exist, the spider will be sent to the site map on the custom 404 page. Either way, whether it is a human or a computer that visits your site, going to a page with content is far better than seeing nothing at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Website Design Tips to Boomerang SEO Success</p>
<p>The online marketplace works on salaebility of ideas. If you have a great idea and have the capability to sell it to web users, you will be successful here. This world is virtual &ndash; intangible and invisible. Here, buyers do not know sellers and vice versa. As a businessman, your website is your identity, the only instrument that can lead to your success.</p>
<p>Given its significance, website design and development is one of the core online marketing services available in the marketplace today. Scores of agencies and companies are offering this service to businesses looking for brighter prospects in this domain. Most of the designing elements are now being tailored in accordance with search engine guidelines, so as to better revenue generation from search engine marketing.</p>
<p>Experts believe SEO web design is the order of the day and thus offer the following essential design tips:<br />i) Optimise every page of your website. Most developers focus only on the homepage or subscription pages. The fact is, search engines crawl and index any page that has relevant information with regard to the keyword in the searched query. Therefore, it is advisable to optimise as many pages of your website as possible.</p>
<p>ii) In the world of search engine optimisation, keywords are supreme. To create an effective campaign, it is imperative that you choose the best keywords and phrases and use them in meta tags and content sagaciously. These words will eventually help search engine spiders track and index you in their result listings. You can make use of keyword research tools freely available online, and pick the most competitive ones for your business.</p>
<p>iii) Content still happens to be the king of online marketing. Get into content optimisation on a frequent basis and also alter the content of your static pages once in a while. This will ensure that your pages are indexed every time they are crawled.</p>
<p>iv) Develop an extensive link exchange programme for your website. Use creative website design techniques to generate inbound links to your pages. By doing so, you can get targeted traffic and also make navigation easy for search engine spiders.</p>
<p>v) In terms of design, you ought to be innovative and appealing for web users. Lure them to your site by offering something different, and then retain their attention using attractive pages.</p>
<p>The onus of generating revenues for your business lies only on your website. It is therefore, highly important that you work towards building a special image amongst your potential customers and thereby coax them into buying your products or services.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How Much is a Design Worth?</p>
<p>&ldquo;I can find someone to design a logo for me under $70 in the US &ndash; why do I have to pay $200 for it in China?&rdquo; This is the question one of our clients raised after getting our quote for their logo and web site redesign project. It is true, and in fact someone on the Internet only charges $50 for building up a whole web site. However, if price were the only thing that clients were to bear in mind, why bother to redesign their logo and web site?</p>
<p>A problem faced by all design agencies and freelancers is to determine how much a design should cost, and this is sometimes a very frustrating issue. I think there are two major causes for today&rsquo;s embarrassing situation.</p>
<p>1. It is easy to become a designer but it is very hard to become a good one. Even a college student who knows something about design tools like Photoshop and Dreamweaver can claim himself to be a designer and begin to offer services to others: a logo for $30 and a web site for $60; he can get the logo designed even before you tell him what your business is all about. Creating a proper design requires skills that are accumulated from experience; also time matters when creating quality work. Sure enough, both skills and time cost money. Work done by professionals is a far cry from that done by amateurs (frankly, this is true in most cases), and there are many tips and details that cannot be easily grasped by inexperienced designers. Let&rsquo;s take coding XHTML as an example. It may take you less than one week to learn how to create a simple XHTML page with Dreamweaver, but it may take you half a year or much longer to produce standard, valid, cross-browser-compatible and search engine-friendly XHTML/CSS markups. The prices vary greatly simply because too many people can do design work but too few can do it properly.</p>
<p>2. Everyone wants an impressive design, but no one wants to pay a high price for it. Many clients simply tend to compare quotes by quantity without considering whether the prices are reasonable or not; in other words, they only care about how much a designer will charge but don&rsquo;t care about who the designer is. Talented designers are always precious resources, no matter where they are from, and quality work always requires time and effort.</p>
<p>The first lesson we taught our designers and programmers when they first joined the <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.weboutsourcingservices.com/" rel="nofollow">Web Outsourcing Services Group</a>, was to always bear quality and customer satisfaction in mind. With no compromise on quality, we should give more than the customers&rsquo; expectations since they need our expertise and professional skills. Although our prices may be higher than local freelancers or some of the agencies, they are definitely reasonable considering the quality of the work, and are a real bargain compared with local companies whose services can reach the same level.</p>
<p>Let me end this article by finishing the story I started at the beginning: Our customer services emailed the client with the points I made above, 2 days later they accepted our quote, 3 days later they approved our draft design, and 2 weeks later they happily and proudly began to print the new logo and URL of their new web site on their business cards.</p>
<p>A design is simply worth how important you think it is!</p>

<p>PHP is an open source scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. This technology has become largely popular and users have become greatly benefited from it.</p>
<p>The full form of PHP stands for Personal home page or hypertext preprocessor is a programming language especially designed to produce dynamic web pages that interacts with databases. PHP is generally an HTML-embedded scripting language which is designed to develop home pages for the websites.</p>
<p>The concept of PHP was developed by Rasmus Lerdorf in the year 1994. Initially, the technology was used as personal home page meant for developing web applications with a purpose of increasing the efficiency and suitability of the web pages. Web pages in PHP are treated same as the regular HTML pages, the edits and updates can be done in the same way as in simply created HTML pages.</p>
<p>Since, the concept of php development was to speed up the working of the web pages. The working of this technology is based on a simple formula. When a visitor opens a page, the PHP commands are processed by the server and then the results are usually send to the visitor&#8217;s browser. It is an open Source and cross-platform technique which runs on Windows NT and other UNIX versions.</p>
<p>Due to its easy features and user friendly results, PHP has become a popular technology. The use of PHP has been seen in different arenas widely. PHP is frequently used to create dynamic pages as it is easy, fast, secure, open source and stable. For programmers who have a good knowledge of languages such as C, JavaScript and html, PHP seems to be very convenient to learn and grasp.</p>
<p>The future of PHP is really bright, with new modules adding up by each passing day.</p>
