			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web designing has become easier, faster, and more profitable by the use of CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, a language that is growing in popularity. As the name implies, this semi-new markup language allows the user to add more style to their web pages than HTML. Cascading Style Sheets can be used in conjunction with all the popular web design languages to <strong>develop the optimum in business websites</strong>.</p>
<p>More <strong>flexibility in web designing</strong> has attracted web entrepreneurs who enjoy the use of animation and video that retain potential customer&#8217;s attention. While multimedia would slow the loading of pages in HTML, the use of Cascading Style Sheets allows for smaller file size. The ability to streamline the document produces higher rankings with greater SEO. For online business, greater Search Engine Optimization can mean more customers and higher sales.<span id="more-1173"></span></p>
<p><strong>Web designing for business often uses CSS to style the site</strong> and create an atmosphere that is pleasing to potential shoppers in a way that basic HTML cannot achieve alone. Combining Cascading Style Sheets with HTML allows the designer to control every aspect of the documents that make up a web site, with the style sheets controlled from a linked document off site. This ease of use saves time and money, increasing the potential cost of maintaining such a site. With more time, web developers can be more creative in the design and achieve more of what the business website owner desires.</p>
<p>The most appealing aspect of a CSS based web site is the <strong>ability to reach potential customers over a wide range of media</strong> including but not limited to mobile cellular and streaming video. It is for this reason that Cascading Style Sheets will be around and be the preferred method of web site designing for years to come.</p>
<p>In summary, controlling file size, the feel and mood of a web site, ease of maintenance, wide range of multi media marketability, and search engine optimization properties, Cascading Style Sheets will become more and more the preferred method of web site designing and marketing for many years to come.</p>

<p>Having your own website is an essential feature to reach other people who are using the internet to know everything about your online business. Lucky for you if you know the basics of website designing and have the skills to maintain it, but for others who don’t have any idea how to create one will have to hire a website designer.

<p><strong>Ask first for website designer recommendations</strong>. You might have close friends or family members who are knowledgeable about designing website. A little sacrifice of asking questions to those who are closer to you might let you gather good ideas in building your own website or they may refer you to someone who is a good website designer.</p>
<p><strong>You conduct interview to your candidate for website designers</strong>. Once you already have the list of candidates for hiring as your website designer, you try to interview each one of them. You can use any possible internet media to have a face to face interview. Or you can talk to them through phone as your other option.</p>

Ask for a detailed quotation from each website designer which must include the cost estimate and how much would be the maintenance cost.

Moreover, consider the website designer’s salary as well as the quality that they can give you.</p>
<p>If you happen to stumble a website that you like, you might as well would like to know the website designer. Look for possibilities to contact the one who did it. The website itself will reveal to you the contact access for you to communicate with the designer. Give good comments about his site and ask for recommendations and details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designing a website on your own can be hard if you are new to website design, but nevertheless I was a beginner before so I know the hardship and pain in creating a website. But how can we (as a beginner) build a website that is user friendly and yet professional looking? By studying those that have great website layout and use it on your own.</p>
<p>Of course you will not be getting a real paid professional looking website when you are a beginner, the good news is that you can change the look of your website later.<span id="more-437"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-439" title="Design Your Own Website: Example Of Amazon" src="http://www.15minwebsitemaker.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/amazon1-1024x492.png" alt="Design Your Own Website: Example Of Amazon" width="573" height="276" /></p>
<p>Let us look at the picture on top, I am using Amazon as an example. A brief intro about Amazon, is that they started off as a online bookstore, then to selling everything under the sun. As you can see that the hot selling stuffs are in the front or home page of Amazon, as that is what most people online are looking for. That is why if you are following Amazon model, your website needs to be constantly updated, almost automatically.</p>
<p>But what we can learn from amazon is that:</p>
<p>1) <strong>It makes use of the whole page to display their stuffs</strong>. As most of the websites uses about 70% ~ 80% of the area, so that it helps to focus the visitors and help them to read better as well. Whereas Amazon has tons of things to sell online, so they have to maximized the area they have, and they have long pages as well too. This will depend on the type of market you are marketing online, if your product or services are not as informative, then its best to use the 70% ~ 80% web page in the center.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Place most important text on the top left</strong>. As we are used to write from the left to the right, so our reading habits also does the same. Amazon is smart to realized that we will look on the left of the page first, then to the right, and slowly strolling down the web page. So make sure to have your most important product or services or announcement on the right of the page. Amazon positions the other departments as text on the left as a navigation for those who want to search on their own.</p>
<p>3) <strong>A huge search box at the center top of the web page</strong>. This also helps eases the visitors to search for items, as there are millions of things in Amazon, so it will make perfect sense to place a search box on every page of the website. If you only have less than 15 pages in your website, you do not need to set up a search box in your website. Only if you have more than 20 pages then it good to have one.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Always place a buy button on the top right of the page</strong>. Make the button visual to the visitors, a different color for the buy button can help the visitors to see. Of course if you are not doing what Amazon is doing, then next best thing is to have a opt in box on the top right position to collect leads. If you have invested time and money for the visitors to come in, you must do your best to get the visitor&#8217;s details, like name and email, or even contact number. So you can send them emails for follow up or inform them of the latest promotion the company is having currently. Read <a href="http://www.15minwebsitemaker.com/blog/web-page/creating-a-squeeze-page-that-sells/" target="_blank">how to create a squeeze page that sells</a> for more information.</p>
<p>5) <strong>Linking from home to other web pages</strong>. As I noticed that the home page of Amazon has the most links to it&#8217;s other web page, and this is also for true for other successful websites. As the time goes by when your website have reputation, visitors will tend to go to your home page first. This is very normal, as the home page is the beginning of a great shopping spreed for the visitors, don&#8217;t you do that also? Linking to other web pages that the visitors want to find is very important for the visitors and in terms of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) too. It makes sense that Amazon has hundreds of links to other of its web page.</p>
<p>One important note to take is that the links must be relevant or related to the hyper text or pictures its showing, as this will disrupt the visitor&#8217;s experience if they are not relevant, and search engines like Google will not rank you well as you did not bring good experience to the Internet users on your website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions and millions of websites roam all over the Internet. Business, corporate and personal websites, all can achieve thousands of visitors each day. So why do some thrive while most did not make it.</p>
<p>What are the reasons that make a website fail? These are three reasons that make visitors dislike coming to the websites.</p>
<p><strong>Fonts</strong> &#8211; One of the main reason that drive visitors is the misuse of fonts. A good website designer is considerate to all the website visitors, as you cannot know who will be visiting your website. Most of the people do not have good eyesight, so it is worthwhile to make sure the fonts are suitable to all people.</p>
<p><strong>Paragraphs</strong> &#8211; This is the second mistake that most of the people make when they are doing web design. They wrote long paragraphs for the visitors to read while they are searching for information. Research has shown that people tend to continue reading if the paragraphs are short, my advise is to use no more than six lines in one paragraph.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p><strong>Less General Topics</strong> &#8211; Last mistake is that the general topics of your niche are mostly on the top or the side of the website. This will make it harder for the visitors to search for what they want to find out. Instead use a drop down menus so they can get to the page they want immediately.</p>
<p>Take note of these three fatal mistakes when it comes to website design, and the chances of your website visitors leaving will greatly decrease.</p>
