Why You Should Use Graphic Templates

August 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Blog, General, Graphic Design, Tips & Tricks

When it comes to graphics, most Internet marketers shy away from using graphic templates whether it’s ebook covers, website layouts or promotional banners because they firmly believe that by using graphic templates, they are tarnishing their own business. They want to own a unique identity and hence will always find a professional graphic designer to do the job. Well, you’re in for a big surprise!

When you purchase a graphic template, you will be able to customize it to an extent or even build a totally new design based on it! What’s the point of using the template then, you say? Well, it serves as a source of inspiration and ideas for a totally new design. You can’t derive anything from a blank canvas, right?

On top of that, you are actually saving a lot of precious time that you can otherwise spend on more important matters like developing new products or market your products. When you buy a pre-made template, you only need to edit a thing or two to give it an identity of your own, and that gives you more time and flexibility to work on other stuff.

Okay, let’s say you argue that hiring a designer to do the job is equally fast. That may be true but don’t forget, hiring a professional designer to do a custom design for you will cost you a lot of money. Unless you need a totally unique identity that you are aiming to establish firmly in your niche market, you don’t need to get a designer to design it for you.

Not all graphic templates are suitable, so you have to be careful when choosing one. Consider quality over the price, and you’re on your way to creating a positive image for your business while saving more time for more productive chores!

Tips for SEO-friendly website

August 15th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Blog, SEO

Below is a list of 10 SEO-friendly web site design tips, if the web designers should pay attention to during the early stage of their web design.

1. Avoid the creation of the left-hand side of a website. If unavoidable, an alternative way is to set some of the text with rich keywords to the top or above the left so that the text is the first asia can be read about in search engines.

2. Headlines are rated more important than the rest of the web page of search engines. If you’d like to take advantage of this, you should have keywords in the page’s title. Since the header tag (H1) is rather high, you should format it to make it smaller.

3. Each page must be “headline” and “a description of” codes, with good keywords to describe this content. This amount is saying that the title should not exceed 9, and that the description should not exceed 20 words, so that the limits of most search engines.

4. Try not to use flash when possible. Flash can not be read that the search engines to the date and cause slow page-loading time and to get people to run away. If you really must use it to flash, I will try to make it less (for example, flash-title), and leave the other area of Web keyword-rich content.

5. Think twice on how to use graphics. Make them, which are relevant to the content of oman and use the alt tag with the relevant keywords for search engines to read, because they can not read graphics and also to visitors so that they may be something to read, when to expect the images to load.

6. Do not just use the photos link. You should always use text links to link out the importance of the content of the web site. Spider can follow image links, but, as the text links to more though.

7. Do not use frames. Some search engines can not spider web pages with frames at all. In order for other search engines that may be, they can have problems spidering it, and sometimes they too can be the index the web page.

8. Do not use too complex tables, when laying out your page, but they are regarded as being easy robots. There are a number of engines, which are difficult to navigate through to the other pages on your website if the navigation is too complicated.

9. Use an external Cascading Style Sheets and Java Script files to reduce the size of the page, and make time to download much more quickly. It will allow the spider to crawl the web page faster and can help the ranking.

10. Use the standard HTML. Software such as FrontPage, Dreamweaver, or WYSIWYG Editor often add unnecessary scripting codes, which make a page higher than is necessary and makes it harder to crawl. It will sometimes add codes, which can not be read search engines, which resulted in spider does not crawl the page, or even the whole of the site. If used, you should use them in Web Page Creator software wisely, with a good understanding of html, so that you can avoid manually, or even to remove them unnecessary scripting codes.

That’s all my 10 tips for the design of SEO-friendly websites. Enjoy the Web Design: viewed, as well as human visitors and search engines!
