GOOD BYE BRAND

Slow and steady wins the race. Is it? It may not be true for the realms of offshore web designing. With the progressive times and technology the adages, beliefs and concepts have turned up side down. In the fast and prompt Internet world, your website needs to be super duper fast to woo the customers.

Would you like to visit a website which takes forever to load and open up to reveal the content? The answer is predictable- NO. The load times is enough to scare many potential customers off your website. Also, as per the major search engines’ guidelines- the page speed is also a determining factor in search engine rankings.

Offshore web designing services providers can help you deal with website’s speeding problems. They have expert designers and developers team working with a thumbs on approach to deal with the dilemma.

There can be various reasons responsible for the slow speeding of a website:

Flash designs, plug in or embedded animations/ designs result in delayed loading of a web-page.

Increased traffic at once or at some particular time of the day (remember the ‘fail-whale’ of social networking site- Twitter or for instance the online booking of happy-hours of a restaurant or online payment transactions on weekends)

These can be really annoying for first time visitors. In a survey, it was revealed that almost 75 percent of visitors are new on any given website. They come by searching some keywords and clicking on the links given below based on the search terms. However, for the first-time visitor, the slower web page can play a spoil sport. He may lose confidence on your company or think that you may not have an online presence at all. You lose credibility, customers and sales at once.

The research also quoted that when development and designing tools were applied to the slow speeder websites, their conversion rates were increased up to 2 percent from the day onwards. So, to cope with the competition and register your powerful online presence, properly tune with the offshore website designing. If you are opting for Flash website, make sure its HTML codes are in line.

Approaching retirement age I was made redundant last year and decided to create my first web site, initially knowing little about it. I hope that, by reading about my experiences, that I may save you both time and money if you ever find yourself in the position of wanting to build a site with little initial knowledge.

Boost Search Traffic

Start by submitting your site to the Search Engines for free. http://www.MagicSeoBot.com

 eBooks
I bought five or six ebooks on how to make my web fortune from the one-page web-sites that you see on the web. The prices ranged from $9.95 to $29.95. It would be unfair of me to say that they were of no use, as you can always pick up the odd pointer, or contact. However, with the benefit of hindsight I would not have purchased any of them. Instead there are free, better written books which give you at least the same pointers, and often have more substance. You can download from my web site, for free, two excellent books by Ken Evoy, which will provide you with a good basic knowledge to move forward. Don’t get carried away with the sales hype contained in some of these “get rich quick” single page sales letters that offer huge free bonuses and an imminent price increase.

Universities and colleges
There are various colleges and universities on the web which promise you the ultimate in web creation, site marketing, search engine optimization and much more, “all under one roof” They usually have libraries of “how to” books and membership is by monthly subscription with some offering a lower fee for the first month. Have a look, by all means, I looked at three and claimed my refund within the stated period. I found that I could obtain similar information offered for free with a little searching, and that what they really offered was convenience.

Web Design software
I initially purchased a web site building package for $69.95 and was soon disappointed by its lack of functionality. I then looked over the shoulder of a friend whilst they showed me the workings of a top-end product costing nearly $400.00 but I found it to be too complicated with too steep a learning curve too be quickly productive.  I posted a request for help on the Warriors forum and there were more recommends for a particular product than any other. So I decided that my first web site would be a review of that product, which I would create as a trial, before I went on to build a site that would aim at generating income.

Niche PLR Article Package

75,0000+ PLR Articles Organized into 200 Niches. Instant Download       http://www.Free-Plr-Article.com/

What should the web site be about?
Several of the books that I read suggested that the subject matter should be about something that you enjoy doing and therefore you will create your site with more passion and enthusiasm. Whilst this is sound advice I found that the need to create a trial site, which would force me to learn the basics, was more than a sufficient driving force.

Back in the pre-historic days of the web, when dinosaurs roamed Usenet and people didn’t have numbers in their names, Lynx was the slickest browser on the block. In fact it was the only web browser on the block. Veterans will remember browsing many text only pages using its cool blue interface. Back in the days, as elderly Netheads like to call it, there wasn’t much call for images, sound and other such multimedia nonsense.

Things have come a long way since Lynx. Modern browsers do handle text formatting a lot better than they used to, but for budding designers, it’s still a balancing act trying to get good-looking text on a web site. Here are some of the best tricks to use and by the time you’ve read this article, you too will know how to improve the quality of text on your new site.

Text Alignment, Typefaces and sizes

Although Frontpage Express looks and works very much like a word processing program, there are some restrictions on what you can do to text. Try typing in a sentence, selecting it and selecting an alignment icon from the tool menu. You can align text to the left, right or center, just like any standard text editor, but there’s no ‘justify’ icon so you’ll have to put up with raggy-edged paragraphs.

You’ll also notice that there are icons to change the style of your text to bold, italics and underlined. Finally, in common with most word processors, you can change the size and typeface of your text. These aspects need looking at in more details.

Although you can specify which font to use on screen, there’s no guarantee that it will show up like that on another user’s machine. They will need the same font installed, so it’s best to stick to faces like Times New Roman and Verdana that have a good chance of being present in most font folders.

Font sizes are equally tricky. You’ll notice that Frontpage Express offers two methods of changing font sizes. The most obvious is on the toolbar. Select a section of text and go to the drop-down menu currently displaying ‘normal’. You’ll see a variety of terms, none of which seem to have anything to do with font sizes. That’s because only half of them do – the ones labeled ‘heading 1, heading 2′, and so on. The rest relate to other special formats.

The ‘heading’ options are intended to be used on text headings, spookily enough, and apply a bold effect and fixed size to your text – six being the smallest, one the largest. This option is included mainly for backward compatibility – the ‘heading’ HTML tag that this option refers to has been largely replaced by the flexible ‘font tag’.

As for those remaining arcane options in the formatting drop, a couple are useful while the rest are obsolete or simply repeat the job of other tags. All the options you really need to pay attention to are on the main toolbar.

To use the options associated with the more modern ‘font’ tag in Frontpage Express, select a selection of text and go to the Format menu, then choose Font. You’ll find a range of choices, including some style effects, such as Strikethrough, that don’t appear on the toolbar. You’ll also notice that you can apply a size to your text from 1 – 7, with a 1 corresponding to 8pt and 7 to 36pt. Note that these sizes are only a guideline – your friend the user may have their web browser set up completely differently. For this reason its best to steer clear of the smallest and largest sizes.

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with how Frontpage Express handles text formatting, you must be thinking that it’s all a bit primitive compared with traditional word processing and DTP. You’d be right, of course, but the actuality is that Microsoft and Mozilla Firefox have tried to come up with solutions to the problem of formatting text and using fonts.

Both browsers support different methods of embedding real fonts into web pages that download automatically when a user accesses them. Unfortunately, neither method has really caught on. In Microsoft’s case there have been problems with the copyright of TrueType fonts. The problems shouldn’t take long to iron out. At least we have a little more control over text than authors had in the days of Lynx.
