1807. The Testimonial Trick By Terence Tan
      One of the most popular methods of traffic generation is the link exchange. Not only can they generate fairly targeted traffic from other related web sites, the number of quality links to your site is also a major factor determining your web site's ranking in major search engines like Google.The problem with link exchanges is that they require you to give a reciprocal link in exchange for linking to your site. This inevitably means that there will be a limit to the number of links you can tast…

1809. A Beginners Guide to Web Page Design By Michael Turner
      Designing your own successful web page can seem difficult and nearly impossible if you do not do a little research first. The reason you need to know the basics of web page design is because the design of your website will actually influence whether or not people continue to visit your site and ultimately, whether they will buy from you or not.

1810. Creating Quality Websites By Jesse S. Somer
      Websites, there are literally billions of them out there in cyber-space. How many of them do you go to and just think this is boring, bland, or hard to use? It seems like too many to mention. So what makes a good website? I reckon it’s about interaction. You’ve got to make the visitor interested. You’ve got to grab their attention. Many sites use plenty of bright and shiny gimmicks to attract you, but once you make it through to the content of the site it’s just not worthy. A good site uses ea…

      The top ten fonts for website design might change in order, but for the most part the fonts that make up this list stay the same due to their popularity. In general, the top ten list includes Arial, Frutiger, Futura, Gills Sans, Helvetica, Lucida, Optima, Palatino, Agfa Rotis, and Univers.The reason these fonts are so popular is because they are simple and easy to read on computer screens with low resolution. As a result, most of the time fonts that are unique, wild, and distinctive are not us…



1812. STREAMING MEDIA - Leveling the Playing Field for Small Business -
      Statistics tell us that there are 5,000 new websites coming on-line everyday! And, sadly, they all have one thing in common...they are all starting to look the same. Our company, pursuing its own marketing efforts, has the need to look at thousands of small business websites, and they seem to have the same ingredients: a few pictures, lots of text, and maybe an animated gif. With the web surfer becoming much more 'web savvy' than he was a year ago, and with the baseline computer system being a 2…



1813. How Databases Work
      Almost all of the most useful sites on the web use databases to organise their content, and they often use them to allow users to register and leave comments too. Any time you do something that a website seems to 'remember' the next time, the chances are that a database is involved. Yet, despite how common databases are, they aren't very well understood. Every day, new webmasters become database administrators without even understanding the first thing about databases. When you use a database on…



1814. Usability Lessons from the Hospital By Meryl K. Evans
      Usability isn't only for Web design. It's also applicable in the real world as things aren't always well-designed. Paying attention to real world design can help you think through usability for Web design. For instance, there is an elevator in New York where the numbers are in three columns. The numbers go across, but in this elevator they go from right to left instead of left to right. It's in English not Hebrew.Elevator in NY:10 9 87 6 5Most elevators:8 9 105 6 7This concept can be applied t…



1815. Focus on the User: Task-Oriented Websites
      There are, broadly speaking, two kinds of websites: ones where visitors come to be informed and entertained, and ones where users come to get things done. The second kind of website usually provides some kind of interactive service, which could be anything from letting people upload pictures to giving them a form to contact technical support representatives. Whatever your site is there to do, though, you need to make sure that it focuses on it. In other words, your website needs to be task-orien…

      If you're just starting out in your career as a web designer, you likely have a lot of work left to do before you have an established portfolio.

1817. Building Your First Web Site?
      Creating your own site can be a satisfying experience. Here are some tips to help get you up and running.Before doing anything on the technical side, you need some kind of basic idea to work with. I suggest first getting some paper and a pencil.

1822. How to use Emotional Content to Increase Visitor Response By John Alexander
      Did you know that many folks make "buying decisions" when they are moved emotionally? Other traditional medias have made the most of these principles and taken advantage of them for many years, whether it be a TV commercial or an ad in a magazine.
