What are the Characteristics of Good Web Site Design?
Author: Mona Moore
There are many different and often contradictory views and perceptions of the qualities that make for good Web site design. One also has to take into account current trends and popular styles in modern design, which can differ according to personal preferences. Despite these variables there are some central characteristics of good site design that have emerged in the last few years, and which are generally perceived by pundits as being core features of good design. While design and creative layout remains an area dictated by personal taste and perception it is important to be aware of generally accepted characteristics in order to assess the comparative visual creativity of one’s own Web site. A feature that is emphasized repeatedly by many designers is the tendency towards simplicity of design and structure of a Web site. Achieving simplicity of design however is not as easy as it might sound. The modern trend is towards a more minimalist interface and page layout, which facilitates ease of access to the site and usability features. One of the reasons for this trend is that as the number of Web sites proliferates at an even increasing rate, there is a need to create sites that have a clear and obvious message and aim. Simplicity of layout is therefore a characteristic that is evident in some of the best Web sites around. Very often this refers to a simple one or two column structure. Pages are also read from top to bottom. The days of the complex and involved site structure that requires time to figure out in order to navigate are definitely outdated. A good example of the modern stylistic approach is a site like Protolize (Protolize.org). One of the main design principles that many Webmasters have lived by in recent years was that it was wise to reduce the amount of scrolling necessary to view a page. However, the modern tendency is for a centered orientation in Web design, rather than the previous left aligned, fixed-width layouts. Many top modern sites have the content centered on the page, which often requires some scrolling. While excessive scrolling is certainly not a good design characteristic, the modern view is that some scrolling is acceptable when it is offset against the better use of white space and content that is situated around a central axis. In line with the above, there is also a relatively new tendency to focus on the design of the content and not the page itself. In other words, there is less focus on designing a page background for instance and rather paying more attention given to the way that the content is presented on a Web page. This follows from the view that effective communication and not mere decoration should be the main focus of a good Web site. As designer Phil Brisk states, designers often become focused on detail rather than on paying attention to the way that the content is presented, “With your ‘design’ head on, concentrating on crafting and perfecting style elements, it’s easy to forget to step back and see things through the eyes of your users.(http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/dont_decorate_communicate.cfm) He also makes the important point reflected in many modern successful Web sites that, while it is important to make use of eye-catching design elements to create flair and excitement on a site, “…these elements must always be relevant and appropriate, and not distract from a clear, coherent whole effect.” (http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/dont_decorate_communicate.cfm) This statement encapsulates a central aspect of the modern trend in site design. In more practical terms this refers to aspects such as more open and less boxed-in page layouts as well as the use of color and visual effects to draw attention to the content rather than the aesthetics of the page. As another pundit states, “the focus is on making the site’s subject look good, rather than making the web designer look good”. (http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/current-style.cfm). In the light of these views, aspects such central content alignment become important as it focuses attention on the content, as well as providing a sense of balance and simplistic creative design. A good example of a site that takes this view to the point of minimalism is that of Garrett Dimon’s blog (GarrettDimon.com). This site is designed for maximum access to content. There are many other design aspects that conform to the modern perception of a ‘good’ website that are worth mentioning. Navigation is conventionally situated on the left side of the page or on the topbar. The latest trend is to rather place navigational elements on the right side of the page. This may be a trend that is linked to the way that navigation in most Blogs function. Similarly, right side navigation also has the advantage of making the content more visible and prominent. There are many other aspects such as color usage, which have tended to become more low key and less garish. In terms of font size, the general trend has been to move away from very small illegible font sizes to larger fonts to make online reading more user-friendly. All of these trends point towards the central factor in contemporary Web design; namely that content, and access to instant information are key factors in modern Web design.

If you don’t already know how to add a Custom Search Box on your Blog or Website you will probably find this helpful information.
Google makes it easier to get a search box on your site.
Author: Jonathan Celeste
Google have recently made it easier for webmasters to incorporate ‘custom search engines’ into their own websites.
Custom search engines essentially enable you to have a Google search box on your website, from which users can search for the information they want from your site or from across the whole web.
Now Google have made it possible to create and manage a custom search engine for your site from within Google tools. All you need to do is:

The benefits of having a custom search engine on your site
Giving your visitors the ability to search your website has numerous benefits for them and for you. If you’ve got a lot of content and pages on your site, search can enhance its usability and create a better user experience for the visitor.
People may arrive at your site via a specific search on Google, and it may be that they enjoy your content on the subject they were looking for and find it useful. Once they’ve gleamed as much as they can from that content, they may wish to make a follow up search on a related topic. If you don’t have a means for them to search your site, they will probably hit the back button and perform another search on Google, potentially taking them to any other site on the web.
But if you have your own search box on your site, there is a good chance that, following their initial favourable impression of your content, they’ll want to see what else you have to say, prompting them to search your site. You may even become their ‘go to’ site for information related to your niche. This time it seems that Google has come up with something that will actually help website owners to retain visitors and engage with them in a much more proactive way.Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/sem-articles/google-makes-it-easier-to-get-a-search-box-on-your-site-5542246.html

Having the proper keywords is vital to launching a successful Google AdWords campaign. Clicks can range in price from $2 all the way up to $80 per click. Because of that cost, you want to make sure you’re using exactly the right keywords to target the right audience for your site. So, how can you do that?
Keyword Tools
Various keyword tools will help you to understand which keywords are popular, how they’re ranking and how competitive they are. Wordtracker and SpyFu are both paid tools that can help you find specific phrases that are in high demand with low competition. That way you can provide the content for those keywords and get more clicks to your site.
Google’s keyword tool and SEObook.com are a couple of the free keyword tools. They’re just as helpful as Wordtracker and SpyFu, if slightly less comprehensive. Google’s keyword tool will still provide you with sufficient data to begin your keyword research, and SEObook.com offers some excellent resources to help improve your PPC campaign.
Keywords are Only One Piece of the Puzzle
It’s important to have all the pieces of your PPC campaign in order so that your efforts will form a complete picture. Otherwise, you’ll have a hole in your strategy, and you’ll lose leads. That means you won’t be able to effectively drive traffic to your site, which is the whole point of a PPC strategy. So, keep some things in mind when you’re building your PPC strategy.
First, make sure your content is relevant to your ads. Use the keywords you used in your ad within that content to maintain relevancy. Give users what they want, or they won’t stay on your site. They clicked on your ad because they wanted more, and if you don’t give it to them they will go someplace else for it.
Keep a circular pattern in mind when you’re creating your campaign. Use relevant keywords in your ads. Then, infiltrate your content with those keywords. Then, implement that content on your landing page to keep your landing page relevant as well, and round and round it goes. If you experience a break in this pattern you won’t fulfill the needs of your potential clients, and you’ll lose them.
Maintenance is another key piece of the PPC puzzle. You might think that you can start a PPC campaign and let it run wild, but that’s just not the case. Internet searchers are constantly changing and evolving their phrasing, which can make your PPC ads irrelevant rather quickly. You need to constantly do keyword research and track your statistics to make sure your campaign is as effective as possible.
Who has time for that when they’re also trying to run a business? Let Optimum7 spearhead your PPC campaign to ensure success and profitability for your business. We are fluent in Google’s AdWords and understand how to help you utilize all of their tools to maximize the effectiveness of your campaign.

I think this is an important read for all SEO publishers and is posted with the permission of the Author.
If we get enough good comments we will gladly post parts 2 and 3.

by Ian McAnerin

Copyright Law and SEO Part 1

What is Copyright and why would an SEO care?

What Is Copyright?

Copyright is a legal right granted to the authors of certain artistic or creative works. I’m sure that wasn’t very helpful, so allow me to explain: it literally means “the right to copy”. This “copying” can be in the form of translated or derivative versions, reproductions, public or private distributions, displays, or broadcasts.

SEO’s encounter copyright issues all the time. One of the most important things we bring to a client – unique, effective, keyword rich content – is the very thing copyright law serves to protect. A computer can’t just spit it out. It is this creative element that helps to make a site stand out well on the search engine rankings. Google isn’t interested in indexing the same content over and over again, and it also removes computer generated “landing pages” whenever it finds them from it’s results.

By offering fresh, informative content to the search engines and the visitors, the SEO (and SEO aware copywriter) helps a website achieve high rankings without the costs of pay per click, banner ads, and other forms of advertising. This translates into more money in your clients pocket for the same (and often better) results and traffic. Naturally this content is worth a lot to your client, and by extension, you.

Unfortunately, there are many persons in the world who do not respect basic principles of fairness, sometimes due to issues of moral bankruptcy or deliberately criminal behavior, and sometimes due to an inability to understand what the big deal is.

Rather than coming up with their own content, they would rather steal yours. Even worse, once they have stolen your content, it’s no longer “unique” and therefore not as likely to be ranked highly – in some cases you could be dropped off the results all together, if the infringers site is older than yours.

Copyright infringement has become even more prevalent since the beginning of the computer generation. In the past, the copyright violator had to go through some effort and expense in order to, for example, copy a painting or record a musical number. Today a perfect digital image of an original picture, literary work or sound recording can be copied and transmitted to millions of people almost instantly. The ease of this transmission, along with it’s high quality, has lent itself to a whole new generation of people who seem to feel that anything that can be found on the internet is or should be free for the taking.

How Do I get a Copyright?

Easy – do something creative and original and commit it to some form of recording. An oral speech is not copyrightable, but as soon as it’s recorded or written down, that recording is automatically copyrighted. There is no need to register something in order to obtain copyright protection.

You can’t copyright: ideas, equations, thoughts, names, data, or things that should instead be patented, trademarked, or registered as an industrial design.

You can copyright: web copy, articles, musical recordings, video recordings, photos, designs, computer programs and most artwork.

How Do You Prove Your Work is Your Own?

One way is to register it. This is a method by which you take a copy of your work (for example, put your website on CD) and register it with a third party who can provide proof that you had this information as of a specific time.

There are several reasons to register your copyrighted material — first, you have proof on file. Second, registration creates an automatic assumption in the courts that your copyright is valid and that all your statements in the application for it are true. Third, in the US you are then able to take advantage of several statutory advantages that are not available otherwise.

If you don’t register it, your options are more limited, but they are available. Some people use the Wayback Machine to show an approximate publication time, but if your site is new or not indexed it may not help you. You can also point to file dates and so forth, but as you can imagine on the internet these things are easy to forge.

Some Popular Misconceptions

In the old days, if you didn’t have a copyright symbol and date on your copyrighted work you were in trouble. This is no longer the case in most countries. The format is usually:
Copyright © 2003 Your Name. All Rights Reserved.
It’s really hard for an infringer to stand up in court and say he didn’t know it was copyrighted when this notice is at the bottom of the pages he stole the content from. In order to receive protection under the Berne Convention, you were originally required to use the © symbol, but most countries have changed that requirement. I would strongly recommend using it though.

Remember that if you become aware of a copyright infringement and choose not to enforce your rights, you may find yourself prevented (“estopped”) from complaining the next time. Always defend your rights. Even if it’s minor, at the very least tell them you want permission asked for the use.

Fair Use and other Defenses

There are times when you can legitimately use someone’s copyrighted materials. But since this is also one of the automatic defenses infringers use, it’s important to know what fair use is, and isn’t.

Fair use (also called fair dealing in Canada) basically covers the ability to make copies of a work for “legitimate” purposes. This includes the ability for you to print off a copy of a web page at home for personal research purposes, and for public review, criticism or news reporting.

It does not cover the copying of all or substantially all of a work for public display. In short, if you rip off an article or artwork from someone else’s website, and then make some minor formatting changes and perhaps alter a byline and a bit of text, and then post it as your own, you are clearly and obviously infringing copyright.

There is a very fine distinction between fair use and infringement, and there is no specific amount or percentage that is “safe”. Quoting a few lines is safe, quoting the whole article is not. In Canada, fair dealing for criticism, news, or review requires a full citation to the original author. This is not required in the US, but I would recommend it anyway.

Summary

If you want effective copyright protection on your work, do this:

1. Create an original and creative document – web copy, website design, or artwork.

2. Once you have created this work, place a © copyright notice on it.

3. Register the work in your home country (if available), and perhaps the USA as well.

4. Defend your rights consistently and vigorously

In the next article, I’ll discuss what to do if you find out someone has been infringing your copyright.

Every web design project should start with content gathering, either by the designer or by the client. Many people who pay to have websites designed for them fail to think about content gathering and the information which may be required to create an informative and appealing website.
Designers and clients should discuss where the raw information for the site is going to come from. Some designers like to do content gathering through their own research, some prefer clients to provide content in various stages of completeness. As not all clients understand the needs of web content and some designers do not always understand the needs of their clients before the design process gets underway there should be a discussion about the following content questions:
Is the site going to be personal or for business? Personal websites can be to promote a ‘personality’ such as a celebrity or for artists, writers, or actors to display their work or it could just be to display pictures and stories for extended family. Personal websites often need to address the topic of privacy and how much information needs or should be shared.
Is the website an artist or professional portfolio? Depending on the type of artist or professional different methods will be needed to showcase work. A photography website will be designed differently than a musicians website. A conflict or documentary photographer will want a different look than a fashion photographer. An actor will need a completely different approach all together.  The content will shape other design decisions.
Is the site going to sell anything? There will need to be product information and descriptions, prices, returns information and policies and shipping details gathered. How many products are you selling?  Will the payments for products be taken via the site? Sites that take payments need to be secure in order to handle sensitive information.
Does your company have a privacy policy? Websites need a privacy policy, particularly if you will be gathering information from users. How u gather information (signup form, checkout payments etc) will influence the content of the privacy policy.
Is the website going to contain bio information? Nearly every website has an about section. People like to know the stories behind the companies and what a company stands for. Do you already have a standard bio or will one need to be prepared? Personal websites may not need this section, as the audience will already know what you are ‘about’. Companies need to decide if details about employees and the company structure will be outlined on the site.  Employees need to be consulted. Listing employee information can put an expiry date on websites, they will need to be updated every time staff changes.
Is the website going to contain specific technical information? Websites which provide technical information about specialised topics will need heavy content input from clients. A web designer can not be expected to write the content for a specialist astrophysics website. Information on specialised content will need to be provided.Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/web-design-articles/gathering-content-for-a-complete-website-5158100.html

Twitter has been around for a while now but recently it has grown in popularity as a marketing tool and many businesses are using it to drive traffic towards their website. 200 million tweets posted a day it takes a certain level of skill to effectively use the tool to complement your web design.
The Twitter website describes the tool as “real time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting”. Twitter is a form of social media, this means its power comes from using relationships to inform, promote and entertain.
Twitter members use 140 character ‘tweets’, like a status update on facebook, or a one line memo to announce to others what you are doing or feeling. These tweets can be expanded upon in a details panel, which can contain links, videos, pictures, or text. People can search Twitter for tweets on topics that interest them or for individual or companies they are interested in.
Twitter allows businesses to quickly share information with the public in short succinct releases. It can be used to gauge public opinions or reactions to certain ideas and to gather feedback. When used properly Twitter helps to nurture brand loyalty and interest.
It seems like everyone is getting into Twitter. Kanye West, Justin Beber, Oprah Winfery all use Twitter, even Pope Benedict has started tweeting. Don’t be fooled into to thinking any idiot can use Twitter successfully. It is not for web marketing beginners. There are some things you should consider before you invest resources in Twitter for you business.
1. Time: Do you have the time to invest in Twitter? People expect regular, quality updates. There is no use starting a Twitter account and then only updating it once a week. Twitter works on the premise that people enjoy an almost constant flow of information and entertainment.
You also need time to build a fan base by watching what other companies are doing and looking for a unique way to promote your own business. There is no point tweeting the same thing every day. You need to be engaged with users, ask questions and have time to listen and respond to answers. Sounds involved? It can be!
2. Interest: You need to maintain people’s interest levels. Every day you cannot just tweet that your business is open as usual. You need new and attention catching material. If your business or industry does not lead itself to entertaining and frequent updates then Twitter may not be for you. You need to be able to draw a fun 140 characters from your industry, workplace, employees, customers or experiences every day (minimum).
3. Skills: It takes skill to interest people in 140 characters. Do you have staff in your business who can come up with creative ways to use Twitter everyday? Do you have staff who know how to use Twitter? Every 5 days there are 1 billion tweets posted, that is a lot of competition for people’s attention.Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/web-design-articles/is-your-business-twitter-ready-because-its-tweet-time-5158116.html
