Rant about old browsers

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

OK people, c’mon. Did you know that Internet Explorer 6 has been around since 2001 when Windows XP was released?! It’s been eight freakin’ years and now that we are a full two versions beyond this – IE7 was released in 2006 and IE8 was just officially released a month ago!

Yet all these computers around the world are still using an outdated and admittedly buggy browser. It’s adding a bunch of overhead to our design work because we have to test in THREE different versions of IE before we even get to testing in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, yadda and some yadda. And what comes with more overhead? You guessed it, MORE COST! You don’t want more cost, do you? Especially since you generally have an attitude that everything on the web should be free. (go figure) So let’s just bring down cost and upgrade to a state-of-the-art, working browser.

Here a link that will make your life easier: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx

Now click it and install the freakin’ thing.

And if you just plain don’t agree with my sentiment: http://www.saveie6.com/index.php but before you think of joining their cause, I urge you to think of the web designer who has to deal with you and your pain-in-the-ass remarks that his work is too expensive even though you refuse to join the rest of humantity and upgrade.

How to get Free Internet Marketing

Monday, May 25th, 2009
Get Listed! There are many, many places online to submit a listing of your business for Free. While Search Engine Optimization (SEO) may cost you a bit of dough, getting into a directory is easy and it will help people get to you too!
 
Here’s just a short list of major directories:
There are many more!
 
A word of caution: Do your homework before signing up. Some of the less reputable companies will sell your information to spammers or bug you to buy unnecessary services! If a site asks you for a credit card for a “free” listing, don’t trust it- go somewhere else. When in doubt, skip it- there are plenty of others.

How to squeeze more juice out of your website

Monday, May 18th, 2009

When speaking to people about your business and products, direct them to something on your website!

 

Here’s an example from my own daily routine:

On Jaymunda’s website, we have a diagram which explains our approach to building websites. When someone needs to know how we work, I direct the person to go to www.jaymunda.com/services and use that as a jump-off point for the rest of the explanation. (Go ahead, click it- it’ll make your day!)

This isn’t the only way I get people on our website. For instructions on how to set up your email go to www.jaymunda.com/support, for our hosting prices go to www.jaymunda.com/hosting, to make a payment on your invoice, you got it… go to www.jaymunda.com/payments.

 

Your homework for this week: Think of as many useful things you can put on your website for your clients and prospects and then direct them to it!
