ABC's Of Building An eBusiness
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Find a niche market that you have some experience or interest in. You will be more motivated to research, create and market a web site and determine the optimum promotional strategy if you have a 'passion' for the subject.

Why Re-Design
My site is working fine. The links work. Content is added regularly. We have new features. Why does my company need a re-design?
Planning A Website
Initially, planning a website can be difficult and downright time "consuming" until you finally figure out what it is that you want to present to your visitors. Set some time aside so that you will not be disturbed.
"Three Steps For Success"
Your site is now up and running and you're trying to figure out just how to let others know about it. How do you create a wave of traffic to it ?
Keep Your Website Up-To-Date
In almost every business publication there are articles telling us how, as a small business, we need to have a website. This is very true! The Internet is where most people go to find a product or service that they are interested in or may have heard about. And, if your business is capable of serving customers throughout the globe, what better way to keep your information available to that huge target audience than an Internet presence?
What should a beginner do?!
Maybe you have a great idea....maybe you don't.
Wouldn't you like to be a Flasher too?
The most basic type of web page is a static one a page that rests docilely within your browser window. It doesn't do anything. You can view it, then hit your browser back button and go away again. This is not the sort of page one normally sets out to create (I hope), but rather a minor but important lesson in what to avoid. Web pages exist so that the visitor can interact with them. There is an exciting quid pro quo between a site and its viewer that simply doesn't exist in any other medium. It's important to take advantage of that. So, what do you do? Well, the simplest form of interactivity on a page is links to other pages, whether in the form of text or snazzy buttons of one sort or another. Another way to interact with a page is to fill out a form, which offers an exchange of information (again, unique to the web, particularly in its sense of immediacy). Almost all web site hosts offer scripting support of some sort, and there are also sites that exist to do the fetch and carry work for you. Interactivity is what the web is all about a designer's quest may be seen to be a Zen like goal to make a site one with the person visiting it. Very cool. But the palette of surfers out there has been increasingly jaded as one whiz bang notion after another has hit the web and shaken and painted over its HTML foundations. Never lose sight of the idea that what your site looks like is perhaps the most important part of your web presence. What you say and how you say it are what keeps people coming back, but how you present it is what gets them interested in the first place. And since a form is a form is a form (to paraphrase a writer a lot better known than me) there comes a time when you must augment your toolbox in order to create a souped up model. That's where Flash comes in it combines the necessary strengths of interactivity with powerful animation techniques. Very very cool.
