What Format Should Your Website Be in?

Posted on December 28, 2010 by admin

Your website really can make a huge difference to the success of your business. So you need to make some pretty wise choices during its construction to prevent it being dead in the water before its even finished. The thing is, the decision im talking about is one that the client doesnt usually get involved in, but as you’ll see, perhaps they should.

A client recently had some work done on his website. As he discovered later to his cost, the web designer had changed the format of the website from straight html to Microsoft SharePoint Web Designer. Now for those of you who dont know, the computer that the website is stored on, the server, needs to have something called extensions added so it can use Microsoft SharePoint Web Designer webpages. But, as my client discovered that puts you in a difficult position. Now he cant find anyone to work on his website because few, if any, professional web designers work in the Microsoft SharePoint Web Designer format, and of course to change it back to html he is going to have to pay again. Its not a good situation to be in. Continue reading →

Now the Internet is here and as good as the internet is, there is one thing missing on 99.9% of all websites that didnt make the transition from voice to Internet.

To illustrate it here’s an example:

I spend lots of time in front of my computer screen and after long periods of time it hurts my eyes. I know I should get a computer screen filter and have been looking for them in stores. There is a definite lack of them in store and when you do find them the staff dont even have any basic knowledge about them. Continue reading →

HELP! I’ve Been Robbed. A WARNING!

Posted on December 28, 2010 by admin

I had planned to write an article on the internet and the vast amount of choice it enables us to have this month. However, the events of yesterday have left me so gobsmacked that i felt compelled to write the article on this subject instead.

Here’s a true story for you. This week i was robbed. No, they didn’t mug me in the street, no they didn’t break into my house, no they didn’t even take cash or credit cards from my pockets either. In fact, I didn’t even know i’d been robbed until yesterday when somebody told me! Continue reading →
