Catalogs are mere representatives of your company in a printed style and format.

Your catalogs may contain a lot of designs but do not overdo it. Remember to keep information and design balance so you meet your main objective which is to inform and sell out evenly. Your catalogs should provide the customers with the correct information.

Catalogs can be printed in full colors. Application of design entitles magnificent colors which catches the reader’s eye. In applying rich colors, paper quality is to be considered so that prints will be maintained well and appear nice on paper. Paper quality affects colored prints because very thin ones cannot hold too much color ink causing it to blot and stain on some parts.

There are two types of color printing process which is the CMYK process and the PMS or the Pantone Matching System. CMYK is more expensive that CMYK offers a lot of color combination unlike PMS but it does not mean PMS is not recommended for use. It is just an alternative if you want to get it a little cheaper but with quality.

Business online differs dramatically from business offline in several key areas. The first and most important is the difference between the behavior of online buyers and their offline counterparts. Offline buyers must first be AWARE that the service or product they seek is available near their location, then either call a specific company they know and trust or visit a particular dentist, accountant, hardware store or auto parts retailer. When an offline buyer decides to purchase an item or a service, he first must decide where to spend his money, what his budget will allow him to purchase and when he will get in his car and drive to whatever location is necessary to complete his actions. Even if the product or service he intends to buy comes to his home in the case of tree trimming service or pool man, he will decide who to contact based on what? Advertising! In the phone book, promotional flyers, newspaper classified ads, billboard advertisements, word of mouth, television or radio ads. This is why we are constantly bombarded from every one of those sources by companies that sell their products and services locally, regionally and nationally with ADVERTISING.

This is also why advertising online has failed so miserably and contributed to the bursting of the high-tech bubble. We tried to apply that offline advertising model to the online world and it just doesn’t fit! How do people behave when considering a purchase of products or services online? Do they wander around to different web sites to purposefully look at those annoying, blinking flashing, beeping banner ads. NO! They go to a search engine, type the product or service into a search box and click the “Search” button! They don’t look for a billboard telling them where to go, they don’t look for an exit sign, they don’t reach for a phone book or ask their neighbor, THEY GO TO A SEARCH ENGINE! They may change the words they type into that search box, they may misspell the words they use to search for your product or service, they may use a brand name to search for a product, they may specify the town they hope to visit in that search query. They may research the problem that they hope to solve with their purchase before deciding where, when or from whom to buy it. These are very important clues to determining how to market your product or service online! Nobody sits down in front of their computer knowing the answers to all of their buying decisions! They search, research, shop randomly, shop at YAHOO! But in all of that bouncing around online, they will, at some point use a search engine or directory to find what they want to know, then they will decide where to buy it, whether that is done online or offline. You are dealing with someone seeking information, features, benefits, resources, solutions, pricing, comparisons when seeking online buyers. They are NOT looking for your business name, your widget, your service offering, nor will they necessarily purchase online! They are seeking a solution to their problem. Whether that is how to treat their sensitive skin after a summer sunburn, or seeking price comparisons on used cars, or real estate values and finding local agents. Search and research — That is online behavior. The online buyer is seeking something that can be found using WORDS, TEXT, DESCRIPTIONS and INFORMATION! They don’t shop based on who has the best Flash Movie, they aren’t searching for nice photographs of your building, your fancy equipment or technical illustrations of your products. They will find YOUR SITE one way and one way only if they haven’t already bookmarked your front page. By USING A SEARCH ENGINE, TYPING WORDS into the search box!

I’m about to offer the shortest and most concise book review Ive ever written. “Net Words” by Nick Usborne. A great case is made here for the importance of text on the web and why it is critical to make your NET WORDS more focused as well as the need to speak with a unique “voice” on the internet. Corporate doublespeak won’t compel anyone to buy from you. TEXT written in an engaging manner without wasted words is what WORKS online. Buy “Net Words” and read it if you hope to have even the slightest chance of success on the web. Usborne laments the lack of respect paid to words in online copy and makes a solid case for hiring professional copywriter for business web sites. I think he missed though, in making a case as strong as he could by failing to emphasize the role of search engines in making text so critical to all online business owners. I suppose I knew when I decided to review the book that Usborne would be “Preaching to the choir” when telling me, a search engine optimizer, about the importance of words on the web. You may have noted that I agree heartily with the idea of “Creating High-Impact Online Copy” as the “Net Words” subtitle recommends.

Usborne provides examples of strong and effective words as effective sales tools, as you might expect from a copywriter. But I don’t think he makes nearly enough of a case for words as he could had he emphasized more on their role in attracting traffic to your web site in the first place.

Net Words is a quick read making a very important point that all online business can benefit from. I believe I’ll approach Usborne to add a couple of chapters from yours truly on how important those words are to the search engines.

As webmasters, most of us are aware of the Google PageRank system. As Google continues to improve the PageRank system, webmasters must continously try to keep their websites ranking high. Unfortunately, many will use techniques that are not quite legitimate. So, what should you be doing to improve your page rank results?

As webmasters, most of us are aware of the Google PageRank system. As Google continues to improve the PageRank system, webmasters must continously try to keep their websites ranking high. Unfortunately, many will use techniques that are not quite legitimate. So, what should you be doing to improve your page rank results?

1.) Write “useful” content for your website that others will find helpful. Allow other webmasters to use the content on their own website with a link back to yours.

2.) Avoid cheating. Sure, you may cheat and see an increase in your PageRank, but you can be sure Google is getting better at catching these and will eventually find out. This may result in a lower pagerank, or even all out removal from the Google search system.

3.) Be patient. Don’t resubmit your website every day just because you made a few changes. You will find that once your website has been around a while, Google will do a pretty good job of updating their engine. If it has been a few months and the GoogleBot has not come to visit, then you should probably resubmit.

4.) Get listed in other engines. Submit to Yahoo, DMOZ, and others. Again, be patient as it might take some time before your site gets listed.

We all know that a higher ranking means more revenue, but we should also beware of abusing our websites to the point of being removed from Google. I would much rather have a lower pagerank and work hard to get an honest higher pagerank than to cheat and risk losing a google listed website.

You can make it easier for your visitors to subscribe to your RSS feed. With a free and easy to install javascript function you can add the QuickSub feed button to your webpage in just a few minutes. Let me show you just how easy it is.

QuickSub is a javascript mouseover function that produces a list of RSS feed readers that you can use to subscribe to your RSS news feed with one click. You can see it in action on my RSS resource site, just move the mouse over the subscribe link. You should see a list of RSS feed readers. If you click on one of the news reader links it will open up that RSS reader and add this feed to it. You will need the particular news reader installed on your computer for this to work. So for example if your visitor uses SharpReader as their RSS reader then they would click on the Sharpreader link and this would add your feed to your visitors RSS reader.

To use QuickSub on your site you will first need to download the javascript and CSS files from QuickSubs site. The file is compressed so you will need to unzip the file which will leave you with quicksub.css and quicksub.js as well as a sample html file.

Upload the CSS as javascript file to your server. Now you will need to add some code into your web pages. You will need to do this for all of the pages that you wish to use QuickSub on.

Please note that in these examples I have used square brackets instead of angled brackets.

First you need to copy some code to call the CSS file. Add this line with your head tags.

[style type="text/css"] @import “quicksub.css”; [/style]

Then copy this code into the body of your page.

[div id="quickSub" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; z-index:1000;" onMouseOut="return timeqs();" onMouseMove="return delayqs();"][/div] [script language="JavaScript" src="quicksub.js"][!-- quickSub (c) Jason Brome --][/script]

Then where you want to use QuickSub place this code in the body of your page.

[a href="http://www.sitename.com/rssfeed.xml" onmouseout="return timeqs();" onmouseover="return quicksub(this, 'http://www.sitename.com/rssfeed.xml');"]Your link text here[/a]

You just need to replace the path with the path to you RSS feed and enter you own link text. All is left now is to upload your modified page to your web server and the new QuickSub javascript will be active.

With the provision of a local ‘Control Panel’, on your computer ready to adjust the slightest of web site changes, additions or corrections; Web Designers or even traditional Graphic Designers can use, web hosting company, M6.net’s newest creation to bring in extra income; to reverse that loss of EASY dollars.

What is it that website clients really want from their web designers?

After the creation of a client’s website, the web designer usually goes away hoping that the client will not destroy his design, believing they will; after he has pointed the client to FrontPage or Dreamweaver to maintain it. Web site clients do not really want to maintain or update their websites, most businesses have not got the time to ‘play’ around, they just want the site finished and updated from time to time.

This is exactly what happens with traditional Graphic Designers; clients want to know that from time to time they can come back and update, or change totally, the content without the general design changing; quickly, and for a regular price, not a one off higher price as they were charged for the original job.

As a graphic or web designer, you will be in the position to offer your clients web hosting. They trust your decisions and love your work, but they don’t really want to start something with you, then have to deal with someone independent to run their website, or update it or change it in anyway, after you have finished and left them. If you could host them under your own web hosting account (with a multiple website hosting account) and control yours and their websites all from the same control panel on your own account, you would be offering yet another regular client service.

You can charge them for web hosting, which they will have had to do anyway, but for a better price and more resources than their previous web host; and you can earn more by doing ‘web’ bread and butter work, as you have been doing for years as a Designer. This bread and butter work, as most Designers know, is a very substantial part of a studio’s income, and with the use of the control panel, can be approached as just another design ’service’ provided to your regular clients.

Just think, Graphic Design campaigns; and Graphic Design bread and butter work; Web design website campaigns; and, website bread and butter work; four incomes from services and a ’side plate’ of web hosting fees.

As a Graphic or Web Designer, there is no more fear of the client destroying your ‘master’ creation; loss of that easy-money in updates and corrections to the ‘junior’ in the clients office; but the plus is the relaxation knowing that this is just an extension to the service you have been providing for years.

Leave the support to the web host; get your clients to pay for your account; and sit back knowing you’ve got more brainless updates, and corrections for YOUR office junior, ensuring that nice and steady flow of web bread and butter income.

The control panel will be coming out next week, WITH A FREE ONLINE MANUAL, approximately 21st November 2001; if you wish to be informed of the release, just email us at sales@m6.net and ask for Clayton, who will provide you with ANY info you require.

This is the next level for Graphic and Web Designers, ensuring your designs will last; that they wont be destroyed by the client; guaranteeing that your online Port Folio remains a ‘killer’ and not killed; and finally providing you with the right to earn on those site changes.

There are many reasons why choosing the right web host pack can be beneficial for your business. Most importantly, if you don’t purchase a package that offers you all the things you need to run a business online, you won’t be able to attract and retain a faithful client base. For example, one way an online business can benefit from the right web host pack is through the use of domain names. Some web hosts offer free domain names and for the blossoming online business, the right name is often very important.

Remember that domain names are unique - no two web sites can have the same name (or the same address). If you have an idea for a great name for your domain and that name has not already been taken, you can register your name even before you are ready to set up your website. This process is called “parking” the domain name and it ensures that the name will be available when you are ready to start your website. Many web hosting providers include domain names as part of the web host pack. Taking advantage of such an offer is one way an online business can benefit from the right web host pack.

Security is another feature offered by web hosting companies and another example of how an online business can benefit from the right web host pack. In today’s climate, computer hackers, viruses and worms are simply a matter of fact. If an online business cannot assure customers that it’s safe to enter personal information on the company’s website, there’s likely to be few people who are willing to take the chance. Especially when it comes to financial information - credit card numbers and bank account information - security is vital. People who routinely shop online are usually careful to note the privacy policies and security systems in place before they order. While providing your own security is feasible, having a web host pack that includes a solid security system will help ensure that your company information and your clients’ information is secure. After all, how hard would it be to regain trust if you had a major security breach?

Finding a web host that has a pack tailored to your needs is important. While it’s probably going to be easy to find a company that offers web hosting that exceeds your current needs, it might not be feasible for you to take on that extra expense (especially during the business’s infancy). For example, you might need only a single e-mail account, but with a large amount of disk space. The web host packs with enough disk space also have unlimited e-mail accounts. If you can find a company that will tailor a plan to your needs, that company might discount the monthly fee as long as you don’t need additional e-mail accounts. If you do find a plan like this, remember to allow yourself room to grow in the future. Looking for tailored plans is just another way an online business can benefit from the right web host pack.

Without the proper plan, there is a great possibility that your site will be going down the drain instead of building a stable source of income for you.

Here are some useful process you can use for your site marketing plan.

Gather and analyze information. You will need information about your company, competitors, customers, and other industry players. This includes all you can find about how the Internet is currently being integrated in your industry with respect to products, promotions, pricing structures, and distribution channels.

>From this information, you can complete industry and analyses as well as identify your target customers. Develop your Web site objective. The objective addresses the “big picture”. If your company’s main site-related challenge is figuring out how to use your Website to help build client business, for example, an objective for your Website marketing plan. To enhance online client service as well as build site awareness and interest with clients.”

Create strategies. Strategies can support your objective. Your strategies define the general approaches you will take to meet your objective. For example, strategies to support the above objective could include improve; online communication, information, and education, build awareness of and interest in your company on the Internet and communicate the Web site’s existence and advantages to existing clients.

Choose tactics. Tactics are where the action takes place. These are the things you will do to bring your strategies to life. Tactics could include sharing experience and observations in your industry through participation in discussion boards, offering an email newsletter, and submitting your site to targeted search engines.

The Write-Up. Once you have your plan developed, there are numerous ways to do the write-up. If you are a company employee, there may be standards you must follow. If you are an entrepreneur, go with a style you find usable. For some ideas on what to include, read one of my previous articles, “What to Include in Your Marketing Plan Write-Up” at

After your initial plan is developed, you should care for it as a work in progress. Pull and adjust because it is needed in response to changing conditions. Many companies update their marketing plans annually when developing budgets for the coming year and reviewing the company’s business plan.

Whether you are a one-person shop or part of a good-sized company, having a Website marketing plan can help your business prosper on the Web. Make your strategy work. Put some quality time into your plan.

Rapid technological advancements in the 21st Century have ensured that society is now more connected, and there are an increased number of media channels available. Unfortunately, due to dominant media ownerships some would argue that though we have a choice in what we want to watch, our choice is still limited due to tight media control. However, to a limited extent media independence is now being balanced due to the increased popularity of the Internet. This can be clearly illustrated with the level of interaction in chat rooms and blogging. E-mails are being used more frequently, hence influencing the level of communication efficiency. Furthermore, even though advertising companies and people with the technological skill to design and build websites are still dominant in the communication sector, software programs such as Dreamweaver and Microsoft Frontpage provide easy web building packages that enable quick and effective website building for beginners. As a result, media independence is gained with the increasing use of the Internet.

Firstly, Internet and blogging in particular, does not create an age barrier to who can participate. For example, a teenager and a more mature person could have the same opportunity to voice their opinions on the Internet. Also, although it can be argued that the people who do not possess technological skills may be disadvantaged, once the skill is acquired, then people will be able to participate. The author of a webpage or an article has the option of remaining anonymous or writing under a false name, hence, an increase in freedom of speech and a reduction of the risk of being associated with a certain ideology or discourse by a reader. The Internet is promoting greater independence, as minority groups are able to express their views publicly and information can be shared rapidly. There are many benefits to blogging on the Internet. One of the most positive aspects in regards to blogging is that it does not require any technological knowledge, and blogs have the opportunity to be read by people from other cultures and nations.

E-mails have also played a pivotal role in creating media independence. Although e-mails are seen as a form of communication technology, they can also be shared between groups of people. Therefore, increasing the speed of connection and amount of people that will be able to read email has greatly impacted on the sophistication of the Internet and its ability to enhance global communication. E-mails offer instant communication. Rapid communication has led to further enhancement in the exchange of ideas between people, resulting in global networking and increases in international business activities. However, e-mails only benefit those who are literate and those who are able to gain access to the technology. For many citizens in developing countries or the poor in developed countries, the privilege of accessing this tool is not available, hence, although email promotes independence through communication, it also marginalizes those who are unable or cannot afford to use it.

Software packages such as Dreamweaver and Microsoft Frontpage are designed to assist beginners and those who enjoy using the programs. For example, the program Dreamweaver has basic instructions that show the customer how to design a webpage. The program teaches beginners by using terms that are non-jargon coupled with simple instructions. Similarly, Microsoft Frontpage is also an easy-to-use computer software program that takes advantage of its easy-to-manipulate templates and lack of html usage. This encourages first-time users to explore and develop their technical skills.

In conclusion, due to the rapid pace of globalisation, the Internet has allowed society to become more interconnected. Although the Internet does marginalise those who cannot afford or do not have the skill to use it, services such as web hosting companies and easy-to-use software programs are available. The Internet is constantly changing. It has allowed a wider range of contribution from people with varying discourses and ideologies, making this form of media more independent.

The secure transport of some of the most important documents in many top financial organizations, health care departments, corporate houses, and of course for individuals has, of late, become a cause of serious concern that needs to be addressed. These transactions may involve monetary payments through credit cards, bank transfers and so on. The documents that are transferred daily consist of billions of dollars of transactions through banking institutions, share certificates and sensitive personal and financial data, besides a variety of long e-books, texts, audio-visual data, music, photos, images and graphics. And their encryptions may not sometimes be secure enough to resist the online breaches.

The importance of Secure FTP Hosting cannot be overemphasized, as the hackers are working hard overtime to breach the security of the IT infrastructure. It is therefore imperative that the privacy of customers’ accounts should be strictly maintained, so that no one should be able to access the files of another user. There may, of course, be exceptions. If someone wants to share files among multiple users, they can be simply told to login with the same username and passwords. In such a situation the site administrator can maintain a master FTP account allowing full access to all files and folders.

If you ever have any questions about secure FTP hosting, you should contact an FTP security expert in your company. Security is an ongoing duty for anybody who works with large numbers of computers. Also, stay up to date on the latest security threats issued by the various Internet security companies in the industry.
