Simple, yet refined to the point of pixel-pecked proportions, it begs for experimentation. So, I decided that since I have the perfect platform to test out my ideas, I'm going to blog about it as I go, for two reasons. One, this is the first time I have truly set my mind to making one page as effective as possible as far as sales conversions go.

In all industries there are people that really know what’s going on. They are knowledgeable, experienced and skillful, and looked-up-to by their colleagues and customers. This may come as a shock to you, but you are probably one of those people! The truth is, most people have those skills and knowledge and don’t even realize it, just like you. It’s just sitting in that brain, waiting to come out. So, how do you coax it all out? Well, when you’re going to write an article for a content-centered e-newsletter remember that it needs some type of structure. No normal person walks up and starts spouting off random bits of information; it’s always in the context of discussion or a question. And questions are one of the best ways to pull out those specific things you think people are going to need to hear. In other words, if you go to visit a client, you can be guaranteed they are going to ask you questions about their specific industry. So, how do you translate that conversation into the written word? With a voice-activated tape recorder or digital recorder, that's how.

It would make way more sense over there , then you have been looking at usability in some form. Modern usability methods focus on when, where, why and how certain groups or individuals use a particular product. In web development, it usually involves some type of graphical user interface (GUI, pronounced Goo-ey ) and people from different walks of life looking at your web site.

Many people think the phrase web design mostly means strictly graphic design. Well, if contractors could build a new house or barn with just paint, I guess so. But as funny as that sounds, some people have the same idea about web design. Graphic designers are very important. They give any visual product, whether it's shampoo or a movie poster or a web site, that amazing visual wow factor. But web designers are different.
