Confused by the difference between domain name, a URL and a website? You are not alone! Many WunderWebs clients come to me not knowing a single thing about how all of this web stuff works. They just know that they want a website and find themselves befuddled by all the gobbledy gook surrounding the process of obtaining one. That’s what I’m here for. (more…)
There are a couple of reasons why it’s important to avoid broken links on a website:
1) Negative impact on your website’s ratings with major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing etc. Search engines will add demerits for broken links which can cause you to slip down in their placement.
2) Damage to your reputation online. Most online users sooner or later will get frustrated enough to never come back to the site.
Make sure your site works! Load your site in a browser and make sure all the images appear correctly, then click on all the links. You wouldn’t believe how may sites have broken images or internal links don’t work right? Who wants to visit a site like that. It screams unprofessional or, at the very least, careless. (more…)
Don’t distract your visitors with animated GIFs, blinking or scrolling text, or auto-loading sound.
Conventional wisdom is that people will be drawn to an animated ad on a website, but it’s actually the opposite. Readers who are assaulted by blinking ads are more likely to leave the site immediately without clicking on anything, 
and are far less likely to bookmark the site, return to it, link to it, and recommend it. It’s like trying to read a newspaper when someone’s poking you in the shoulder repeatedly. (more…)
The first step toward internet success is, of course, a great website. Your website must be attractive, easy to navigate, and interactive for users. At the same time, it 
needs to be easy for you to use on the back end, so that you can create new content, make quick changes, and interact with your clients without the headaches associated with most digital endeavors. Luckily, there is a somewhat magical solution to fit those needs – it’s called WordPress. (more…)
When was the last time your posted anything on your site? A week, a month, 3 months? If you haven’t added new content to your site in awhile, then you are doing yourself a huge disservice. People search the internet for current information. They want information that is relevant to what 
they are doing right now. If your content is from 3 years ago, chances are that it is no longer current or meaningful to what is going on now. Make sure you are posting updated and current content to your site. It is okay to go back through your old content and update it too. As a matter of fact, please do! Your visitors will thank you for it and so will the search engines. (more…)
