Content

When you want to build a Web site there are many things you need to think about and plan. This series of articles will take you through the steps to creating a Web site. I will show you the decisions I needed to make and what steps I took to build a new Web site. Last week I examined some graphics tools you will need to create a full-featured Web site. This week I'll discuss how to come up with content for your site, and what types of content are already cliches on the Web.

Web Page Ideas

Once you have your tools together, you need to decide on what you want your page to be about. There are so many different Web sites, and no matter what you may think of, there is probably already at least one Web site on it. Of course, this doesn't help if you know you have a Web site in you, you just can't think of what it is yet.

Web pages can be on anything you would like to write about. Many people are selling things on the Web, as well as writing stories, telling about themselves, providing information, and much more. Your Web page or site should be about something that you feel passionate about. Get excited about your subject. When you're exited, your readers will be excited and they'll keep coming back.

Before we talk about tables, let's dispel the common answer that people will give you when you mention tables. That answer is "Tables are not for content, they are for tabular data. That sounds like a really good reason not to use them then, doesn't it. I mean they are for tabular data and not for content. But that answer just isn't enough.

The ultimate authority in web design/development standards is the W3C. (http://www.w3.org) This is what they have to say. "The HTML table model allows authors to arrange data -- text, preformatted text, images, links, forms, form fields, other tables, etc. -- into rows and columns of cells." Did you see that "Tables allow authors to arrange text" So, what about "tables are only for tabular data". First, what is tabular data? It is "Data maintained in a tabular form" The key word in that definition is data. The table model is not developed as a way for Web authors to manipulate the layout of a Web page or change how it will look with either cells, borders, or background colors. A good definition of data for our purposes is: "Factual information, especially information organized for analysis or used to reason or make decisions."

However, that definition is more than we really need for Web page development. I like to think of it in this way:

Many small ecommerce businesses are one-to-five person shops whose income is derived solely from their websites. As the ecommerce world evolves and becomes more sophisticated, however, success for these smaller merchants has become more challenging.

Through the past year, certainly a harrowing one economically, we have seen quite a few smaller site owners thrive. We have also seen a significant number succumb to the current economic conditions. Here are six factors we see for those who are achieving success.

Because 90 per cent of online sessions begin with a search, and 30 per cent of users believe that companies found in the top results are the market leaders, it's important for businesses to rank high with Google and other search engines. David Ciccarelli, CEO of Voices.com, offers 10 tips to increase your ranking and help drive traffic to your company's website.

When optimizing a website for search, it is critical to target the right keywords as they play an important role in its overall success. Given that, it’s not surprising that when a page on a website has a subpar performance in search, many marketers jump to change its keywords. But doing so could be a mistake. Let’s take a look at why.

According to research from Webvisible and Nielsen, reported by Marketing Charts, though 63% of consumers and small business owners turn to the internet first for information about local companies and 82% use search engines to do so, only 44% of small businesses have a website and half spend less than 10% of their marketing budget online.

The research finds an accelerating trend toward online media for local search. However, the report says the study uncovers a significant disconnect between the way small business owners act as consumers vs. the way they market their businesses online.

The survey found that search engines are the most popular source for finding local information:

Measuring the increased traffic and sales from a search-engine-optimization initiative is among the most challenging issues site owners face. Frequently, when I’m starting a new SEO program with a client, the seemingly simple question of “What’s your goal?” is met with a pause. It’s not that these clients are SEO neophytes or that the companies aren’t disciplined and committed to their online presence. It’s that determining cause and effect is confusing work in the fuzzy area that is SEO. If you don’t know how to measure where you are today for SEO, it’s pretty tricky to define a measurable, realistic goal for the future.
