A bit late, I know.. but I've had the images laying around on my discs without really doing anything to them for quite a while now. I finally managed to get my act together and get started with Adobe Lightroom (which is a fantastic piece of software) this other day and I did some editing on these lovely images. The images was taken in Cancun, Mexico and in a park called Xcaret about two ...

To me SEO is making your website more friendly and trusted by the search engines with the hope of better visibility in their search results on search terms related to your website.

09.17.08No one cares what you wantSo you want to setup a web shop and you hire a company to build your site for you. You’ve already given the layout and colours of the site a lot of thought and you know how you want it. Is this a good idea? In most cases it’s not. You, the store owner, don’t know what sells You’re customers don’t know what sells Even the media company won’t know right away what sells A great design doesn’t mean you’ll maximise your sales. Would you rather have a perfect design with 50 sales a day or a good design with 80 sales a day? ...

09.16.084 step process to a successful websiteI recently stumbled upon a new forum here in Australia about business. I’ve been looking for that ever since I moved here. There is a thread going on there where they discuss the importance of SEO compared to the quality of the content – some agree you need to hire a copywriter, while others say you need a kick ass design. They are actually all correct. The process of getting users to your site and getting a conversion out of them is a four step process. 1.

09.03.08Why Digital Point SucksI used to be an active member on Digital Point (DP). To be honest I used to love DP since you could get help with pretty much everything there. No matter if I had a simple issue with my site code or some big topic I felt like discussing with likeminded. I would always get the answer on DP, both good and not so good ones.
