Why you should add new content to your web site!
So you have a great web site. And everyone is clicking to see your great business. But...
Are they seeing the same old content over and over again?
Here are some things you can do to keep it fresh!
- Rotate images on your home page. This not only looks good but gives the impression that you are "alive and well".
- Your visitors will pay more attention to the site if it looks different and may look for other new content.
- The Search Engines love new content. They will visit your site more often if they see changes in content. This is a GOOD thing!
- Think about adding a BLOG to your site. This will add lots of new relevant content to your pages and make visits more informative. Look at Wordpress® and BloggerTM, they are very easy to use (of course, we can set one up for you and make it look killer!).
- Add some new technology, like Widgets and Gadgets. Here are some that you can add: WIDGIPEDIA
- Changing the content on your site gets you into the site to check on it to be sure that it works!
There, your life just got easier!
D. Maxwell
website developer
Mr. Maxwell has developed websites since 1996 and has been a part of the Sonora team for nearly two years. He prefers to work on interesting projects where his creativity and experience are encouraged to flourish. He can make you show up at the top of search engines if your website is deserving. He has reached Dreamweaver Zen.
On the personal side of life, he likes fun stuff and doesn't like stuff that isn't much fun. Politics is his sport of choice (really fun, huh?). His two cats will only eat expensive food. His girlfriend takes cooking classes. His car breaks down every other week. He has a really nice Gibson guitar. Maybe he should sell his guitar to fix his car.
He graduated from high school, but didn't attend college and feels that he did miss out on a lot of fun in college.
He hopes to someday own a home, send his teenage daughters to college to have fun, and to be able to retire.
Introducing:
"Fresh Ideas!"
STOCK PHOTOS
Your marketing materials and web site rely on great images to compete with today's fast paced and highly visual media. So why not add some inexpensive (but great looking) photos and illustrations?
For example, here is a great shot to get attention for an open house:
And here's one that could be used to illustrate overcoming a challenge or a difficult task:
These types of images can be available for as little as a few dollars each using a site like www.i-stockphoto.com and also by purchasing a clipart/stock photo CD collection at your local computer supply store.
Now that's Fresh!
These are some random quotes from emails sent us us by our clients (and yes, they are legit!)
