How to tell if your site stinks
|
Your website looks pretty good — as far as you can tell. But only your
customers count. Do they find your site a joy to visit — or an incentive to
shop somewhere else?
With input from Web experts,
PROFIT has developed a fast test to help CEOs
diagnose common website woes. If any of these statements apply to your site,
you'll know what to fix.
Navigational tools aren't easy to find.
You know the frustration of being lost in a website — so never lead your
customers astray. "Confusing navigation is the No. 1 problem with Web
usability," says Walter Schwabe, owner of Fusedlogic Inc., a tech
consultancy in Edmonton. Ensure the buttons and links that take people from
page to page are clear, and maintain a consistent navigation structure
throughout. If your site is big, consider adding a site map or search
engine. |

| A blog is often a mixture
of what is happening in a person's life and what is
happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site,
although there are as many unique types of blogs as there
are people. People maintained blogs long before the term
was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the
introduction of automated published systems, most notably
Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services
such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing
process. |

Blogs are alternatively called web logs or
weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause
confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

NEW YORK - One of the earliest promises about the World Wide
Web was that it would put some of the power of the press
back in the hands of regular people. The same people who
once wrote thoughtful polemics or commentary on handbills
and in pamphlets of limited circulation, or through the
occasional letter to a newspaper editor, could, at least in
theory, reach the entire Internet-connected world with their
ideas. Some who embraced the Web early went on to become
media barons all their own.
Personal Web publishing has taken off in fits and starts
over the last decade. It used to be that if you couldn't
decipher the arcane commands of Hypertext Markup Language,
you'd either have to learn it or hire someone who understood
and could publish your work for you. Weblogs, or blogs, have
changed that, primarily because they are so easy to use.
The method of blogging allows for publication on a whim,
when the mood strikes, making the "blogverse," as some like
to call it, one of the first places to look for reactions to
the happenings of the day, and in specific areas of
interest.
As yet there isn't a particularly good mechanism to search
for good blogs on specific topics. As you might expect,
there's a good deal of junk to sort through obscuring the
pearls. For the range of topics we've selected, ranging from
travel and technology to economics and film, we've sought to
save you some of the trouble for several topics.
