Sketch Out a Website Wireframe First
We develop most of our websites using a 5 phase system. In the 2nd phase, information development, we sketch out, on paper, a mockup website wireframe. A wireframe is simply a page showing where content will go, without any design elements.
Before we even open up our software, we sketch out, by hand, how the site will function. Old school, yeah?
I just completed the final design sketch for a client of ours.

The primary goal of my client’s website is to provide resources of information. The secondary goal is to market the business. So I’ve sketched out a two column layout with a few Questions on the left above a list of FAQ categories. And on the right column I have their services listed with a staff photo beneath.
Making your website successful takes planning and preperation even it means pen to paper before hand to mouse.
Update: The website is complete. Learn how we got from a wireframe sketch to a working website.

Business is About Getting Things Done
Business is about getting things done or accomplished…finished.
If you don’t complete your projects you won’t make any money and there won’t be any reason why someone would use your services or want to work with you.
I do a lot of web and seo maintenance for my clients. They expect my company to deliver. I do and that’s why we continue to work together.
People hire you or pay you to do a job. It’s your job to get it done.

The End of www
 Simple tip that will save you time entering URL’s, website addresses, domain names, or whatever you want to call them.
You don’t need to type in the “http” or “www”. Just type the domain name and extension.
Example: craigslist.org, ebay.com, yahoo.com.
