Added for You - Building a Website? Please Make Your Pages Eye-friendly!
If you are in the Internet game, or probably any business, there is that one annoying guy who will tell you everything is easy. He is full of it, particularly when it comes to rankings.I provide search engine optimization services for clients. Some clients are very knowledgeable and/or interested in learning the process, factors involved and so on. Other clients just want you to do
Just like your navigation, you want your font color, style and size to be consistent. Don't change colors or font style on every page. Choose a color theme then pick a couple of fonts and stick with them. Just remember to use the same size and fon
Brainstorming is a very powerful method for generating lots of ideas very quickly about almost any problem or issue that needs an innovative or creative solution. However, brainstorming is also a very fragile process. It is intended to be a very free flowing non-judgmental exchange and list generator that sparks everyone's creative fires but at times that is very difficult to achieve in
And believe me, having a great Website content and state of art navigation system will not help you if your visitors feel overwhelmed by your colors or your text is too hard to read.
Seriously, red color on blue background? I’m leaving… Surprisingly enough, red text on a blue or green background is used a lot, even though this is one of the worst combinations of colors. Same thing about dark text on a dark background and vice versa. White on black may seem attractive but it’s difficult to read and it hurts your visitor’s eyes.
Now tell me, would you be comfortable reading the book printed on the dark brick background? Quite frankly, I don’t think so. Neither do your visitors. If you use a background, avoid the busy ones, stick with the lighter shades and let the text stay black.
Also remember: graphics should enhance your web site, not detract! Use the graphics sparingly, avoid dancing, spinning and twirling animated images - they have an overpowering effect on human vision (and make your website look unprofessional). Try to keep your pages simple and calm.

Does anybody recall the old cartoon in which the wolf and the sheepdog greet each other with "Mornin', Sam." and "Mornin, Ralph," punched a clock and spent the remainder of the show trying to destroy each other? Remember? The wolf attempts to steal the sheepdog's dumb, grazing, none-the-wiser, completely oblivious, sheep and, by the end, the pair pf adversaries "clock-out" and retire for

There are many reasons why a credit card merchant account may be right for your business. If your customer base is growing steadily or if you are having problems finding time to collect delinquent accounts, a credit card merchant account may be the answer to your difficulties. A merchant account allows you to partner with an acquiring bank to process credit card payments made on your comp

So you joined Ryze thinking that there would be opportunities knocking around every corner? And yet every time you unleash your best sales pitch, someone slaps you in the mouth. Wasn't this supposed to be for business networking? Instead, everyone's just milling around and you're having no luck.The problem is, you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Think you have to pay hundreds of dollars for marketing advice and help, not at all. Enjoy a free lesson form one of the best, Martha Stewart.I will recount for you my free lesson. The other day I happened to be at home during a week day. I felt I needed some entertainment so I turned on the TV. There was Martha Stewart just beginning her weekday show.The show began with Mar
Just like your navigation, you want your font color, style and size to be consistent. Don't change colors or font style on every page. Choose a color theme then pick a couple of fonts and stick with them. Just remember to use the same size and font on every page and don’t overdo with colors. Also don't set your text size too small (it's hard to read) or too large. Size 10 is an ideal size for your main text area.
Before picking any fancy fonts remember that many people may not see them: if they don’t have this particular font installed on their computer, they are going to see Times New Roman instead. So it’s better to use “Web safe” fonts like Arial, Verdana and Tahoma. In my opinion these are most suitable fonts for a website. There are other common fonts like Comics and Times New Roman but if you want your website to look professional, do not use Comics!
To make your pages easier to read have a plenty of white space and use separators, headlines or sub headlines. Also avoid long paragraphs: break up your paragraphs often (follow the 5-6 lines rule).
Your visitors will be much more comfortable if your main text is left aligned or 'justified' (HTML: align="justify"), and not centered.
Whether you're designing a new website or improving an existent one, follow these simple rules - your visitors will appreciate it!
