Building Printer Friendly Pages

Doing it yourself
Seeing websites online makes you wonder how these people, company and business go about having their own websites. The things that are put into these sites appear so complicated that you may think it takes a lot of time and knowledge to be able to...
Fonts are More Important Than You Think
Most of the visitors to your website are going to spend 99% of
their time doing one thing: reading your content. Given that the
web is a medium mainly devoted to reading, it's surprising just
how ignorant most page authors are about typography....
So You’re Thinking Of Having Your Own Website...

3 STEPS TO SUCCESS!
Over the years I have visited numerous web sites, probably
thousands upon thousands, and I am still amazed that people are
not implementing the simplest of all marketing steps.
These three steps are continuously being ignored by many
'Netrepreneurs' and I dare say that many must be wondering why
they are not yet 'overnight millionaires'!
Not only are these steps easy to implement, they are also a
simple case of 'common sense'. I will not buy something from a
site if the so called 'business man/woman' is incapable of even
providing the basic of all details; such as:
1. a semi-attractive site would be nice - no I don't want 50
million graphics popping out at me, but I would like to be able
to at least follow the context of the site. Is the site about
this particular product or service, or is it about Tom, Dick and
Harry's fifty million affiliate links and banners? Does it really
need that ugly font scribbled in uneven columns, with overlapping
graphics? Big Turn Off!! A simple menu tree down one side (or
across the top can work well), and clear, uncluttered text.
Scrolling backgrounds are annoying, as are fluoro fonts.
2. I'm not going to buy your product if I can only see a 'name',
a brief outline of what it does
and a purchase link. I want to
know why I should, no, not should, have to... no, NEED to buy
this particular product. You need to tell me how this product is
going to help me, WHY it will help and give me a hand with making
my decision to buy.
3. I really, really want to buy your product, but... I don't have
a credit card (or maybe I don't like using my card on the Net
because I don't feel secure). I would really prefer to send you a
cheque but I can't find a printable or downloadable order form.
Never mind, I'll try somewhere else. (LOST SALE!!) N.B. If you
are running an affiliate program from your site through one of
the credit card processing companies, make sure you let your
affiliates know that they will only earn a commission through the
credit card sales link.
Three steps; are these steps leading you up the success ladder,
or have you gotten yourself stuck in a rung?
