Tis the season to be jolly, or not!

So we picked up a new client this week, very nice too as we always like new clients. Same ol story though of dissatisfaction with their previous web designers :(

What is that? I will work my asse off to get a new client and then I will provide them with shoddy work and service and literally force them to go eleswhere after exasperating them.

The damage this does you is on many levels.

1. They never come back to you EVER

2. They tell everyone they know not to come to you either

You LOSE LOSE LOSE

If you are offering a service or product then make sure that your clients needs come

FIRST
SECOND
THIRD

and every other which way you can think of to help them enjoy the experience of spending their money with you.

2012

Have you watched it yet? What a load of ol tosh eh.

Why O why can't hollywood drop the stereotypes for once! Dsyfunctional family with the dad being the dsyfunctional one, hmmm never seen that before have we and oh yes of course one of the kids has issues with him but he comes good in the end! God how many times do we have to endure that story?

They could have done so much better with that material. As it is I don't believe the world will end in 2012 myself.

It's an Olympic year and the first time the UK has hosted them so that just would not be cricket would it.

Staying Focused

Everyday I recieve to my inbox an offer of some kind. Generally it is either a piece of software that will make my life easier or a course on information I don't know. Some day I get both.

So how do you judge if you should invest time on it or do you just delete them all?

Well for myself I have a set specific list of projects that I am doing, I have my daily tasks for my current projects and I already am a member of one or two knowledge based sites. So for me it has to be a VERY good pioece of sales copy to even tempt me into reading it. If after reading it I think it will fit into what I am doing ALREADY and NOT divert me into a totally new area then I will buy it. And I think that is the key here.

It is SO easy to get sidetracked from your main focus and go off on a tangent in pursuit of riches, but if there is one thing I have learnt in all my years on the internet it's this.

Regardless of what anyone tells you. There is no easy money on the internet. It ALL requires lots of work (at least intially) Remember that next time youre tempted and stay focused.

Ecommerce what?

Small businesses with an internet presence must pay attention to their e-commerce website design if they want to succeed online. Your e-commerce website design is even more important than choosing a domain name or hosting provider. Some e-commerce website design companies offer hosting, SEO services, and traffic reports, while some focus only on e-commerce website design. There are pros and cons to both. When deciding on an e-commerce website design service, there are many issues to consider before making your final decision.

If you use the same e-commerce website design service for your design and your site hosting, there are some important benefits. First, you'll come to trust the e-commerce website design firm because you'll have an ongoing relationship with them. This usually means you'll get exceptional service and responsiveness. Even though e-commerce website design and hosting use different skill sets, most e-commerce website design firms can easily handle both. They've got the creative and technical expertise to provide full service. You should always look at examples of their e-commerce website design work and even contact those clients to get their opinion of the service they've received.

If you choose separate e-commerce website design and hosting service, there are other benefits. You have more choices available this way. Once you've got your e-commerce website design in hand, you can shop around for a hosting plan that suits you. Be careful, though, because not all hosting services and e-commerce website designs are compatible. The best plan is to find a firm that can handle all your e-commerce website design and hosting needs.
