Web Site Assistant

It’s what all athletes, students, schools, companies, sales people, sports teams, movie producers, television and radio stations want….to be number one. On the Internet being ranked #1 in a Google search can mean a difference in the millions as far as visitors to your site go.

So you want to create a web site? Great idea! There are few things in this world as satisfying as creating a good web site and having other people look at it, comment on it and like it.

You have many choices in the tools that you use to perform this act of creation. If you already know HTML or if you are a “purist”, you can just use the simplest, most basic program of all - Notepad. In fact, many webmasters do just that, and many of the best looking web sites are created completely by hand with no help at all from any other tool.

How do you write your code so that it shows up on all or most browsers the way you want it to look? By understanding which browsers support which tags, and using a validation service to check your code.

There are different tags that sometimes do the same thing. The problem here, is that some browers read some tags and not others. If the browser can’t read your tags, it will cause your page to appear in some way other than what you intended. The trick is to write your code in such a way that all, or at least most browsers can read and display it the way it is supposed to be.

I see everything dark in a daytime. It is not a defect of my eyes but a situation created after I use sunglasses. I am myself creating the situation of making everything dark and how foolish would I be if I would be blaming my eyes for it. Same common problem is being faced by many web masters in the world on Web Promotion. They want search engines to bring lots of traffic to their website but fails to satisfy search engines to rank their websites higher because to satisfy search engines they use many dirty tricks which pushes their website in dark which becomes invisible for search engines so search engines cannot know about its information it contains even though it is very valuable.

Devious means of designing webpages to attract search engine traffic can easily backfire. These are just a few of the methods and techniques that you should keep away from. Don’t give in to the temptation that they will work for you. Rather, they will do more harm than good for your website.

Not only will you spend weeks of wasted effort, you may have your site banned from the search engines permanently. Spend a little time learning the proper methods for improving search engine visibility and your web traffic will increase.

You are about to start on the road to having a web presence and are talking to a number of design companies about your site.

Save yourself some grief and negotiate the following:

 * At the end of the development you get ALL source for your web-site, including the source for all media, both static and interactive

 * If you are registering a domain name, that domain name is registered under your name, not the development company

 * You are not tied into proprietary software owned by the development company

A typical challenge faced by Flash developers like me is getting fonts to look like you want then to. For any project choosing the right font face and size is a process that requires both you and ultimately the client to see eye to eye.

In Flash MX and earlier versions fonts were by default anti-aliased, meaning that the edges of the text are smoothed. This is good when dealing with large type but it causes small text to appear blurry. Earlier versions of Flash also had other issues. For instance if one were to realign textfields around other objects fonts might come out of focus (because of positioning), and getting it right could take several tries.
