Web site tips

Original content You need to create your own original content that will get indexed in search engines.

Update content regularly Search engines love it when sites are regularly updated.

Stick to the basics If 90% of people are used to navigating a web site a certain way it is best to stick to that.

Do not overdo the colours Generally avoid colour pollution and try to stick to no more than 6 colours per design.

Do not fall in love with a design Ask people what they think of your designs - if they do not like it you may wish to use a template or get an experienced designer.
Experienced designers generally have an eye for design that most of us can appreciate but rarely replicate.

Reasearch your site thoroughly The things you need to know about a new web site can be researched by anyone with an Internet connection.

1. What are your competitors doing?
2. Are they using Search Engine Optimisation?
3. Is there enough profit to warrant pay per click advertising?
4. What are your important keywords?
5. What % of browsers are likely to purchase or contact you?
6. What marketing techniques will improve my site?
7. What is my Google page rank?
8. Google has a delayed entry for a new site so it is impotant to ensure that it is immediately being crawled over once launched
9. Use techniques to hold your visitors
10. Subscriptions are a great way of creating an email database (always follow anti-spam laws)
