KIS - Keep It Simple - Web-Design

KIS - Keep It Simple

There are many ways to add fancy bells and whistles to your website, but
most of them are not going to do you any good. In fact they will slow down
the time it takes to load your website and take up valuable space that you
are paying for. Besides that, people with older computers will not even be
able to see some of these fancy additions you are using.

For example Flash intro pages may be fancy and exciting to look at, but
search engine robots and spiders do not read flash pages and you may
actually be hurting your standings in the search engines by using Flash
pages.

Other things like music that plays when you open up a web page can be
distracting and downright annoying! Too much movement on the screen will
also get on your nerves pretty quickly, so think before you start adding
all those bells and whistles.

Our advice is Keep It Simple.

What's In A Name?

Why pay for your own domain name anyway? You can launch a website without
your own name for free. Sure you can - but if you want to make it in
today's business world, then you had better come up with your own domain
name that will be easily identifiable with your business!

What's in a name? Just take a look at some of your more familiar
businesses like McDonald's or Coke. Notice their domain names are very
easy to remember. www.mcdonalds.com, www.coke.com.

Spend a few dollars and get your own domain name. Be careful though, some
sites will charge you $20.00 to $35.00 a year to register your domain
name; that's why you should always shop around. There are domain names
available for only $7.99 a year. At www.webdesign4him.com domain name
registration is included in our affordable website design package.

If you want to establish an identity on the Internet then you really
should have a domain name that is easy to remember.
