Great website, correct function

Recently, a potential client told me that cost would be a factor in his Web-site project. I paused for a minute, trying to remember a project that didn’t involve budget concerns.

I couldn’t think of any.

Every day, I talk to clients about the opportunities and challenges of building Web sites. So every day, I talk about budgets and look for resourceful solutions.

And here’s my best suggestion: focus on leveraging existing tools for maximum value and functionality.

Of course, many Web-site design and development firms build great, custom applications and features. Take Orbit’s Mighty-Site® for example: several hundred clients use this content-management tool, which can be tailored for any design or feature.

But in many cases, existing tools provide fantastic solutions that cost far less than custom-made programs. By integrating these features into your site, you can avoid the added cost and headache of building an application from the ground up.

Below, we have collected a short list of such top-notch options. These aren’t the only tools that do what they do, but we think they’re the best options out there-and each provides a far better approach than building a feature from scratch.  Read more...

So you have finally finished your website and you are ready to turn on the traffic and start taking orders. Usually you are cautious about buying traffic, so you search around for some free methods. You learn about traffic exchanges and banner advertising, as well as article marketing and directory submissions. As you work on these methods you start to notice something disturbing: your visitors come and go without buying anything.

Free methods can work with many different types of sites, but the common ones usually only work with sites of general appeal since it is difficult to target your prospects by demographics with the free methods mentioned above. Website owners who follow the demographics of their visitors are often surprised at who actually buys from their site.

A demographic map is one of the most important tools you will use in marketing your business both online and offline. What is a demographic map? It is essentially a breakdown of who your ideal prospects are. Any time I give marketing advice I always ask people to tell me who the perfect customer would be. Many entrepreneurs get excited about their products, but forget to think about who is going to buy, and that is the most important part of the marketing plan. The best direct response marketing companies in the world have demographic maps and use them all the time. The formula has been perfected many times because they know how to identify the target market.  Read more...

Google now faces not one but two competitors in making a move hailed in its search engine, Google Search and an increase in popularity, Google Maps!. According to this is discussed at several Blogs, Google has decided to stop linking to two major competitors in the searches by Map (Yahoo! Maps and MapQuest Maps) and now only shows relevant information on Google Maps!. On the one hand, those who have attacked Google’s position to make that move, they say that it only benefit themselves and not give rise to services that visitors are aware of other companies. On the other hand, those who argue that Google is seeking to make known their services (and they seem right), and others who say it is to improve the user experience. Google, for its part, has not given an official response on the matter, but certainly when it will … what it will be? … who knows. In my opinion, Google should seek to improve their position in their services, and if a leader … you may want to share their position, but I leave it in competition. Those who criticize this close to competition … it’s like when I go to the offices of Coca-Cola found me with a Pepsi vending machine … it would be ironic, huh? … Or upon receipt of the monthly summary competition, receive a brochure of the powers in the same envelope with two fingers … no one in front, leaving aside their services to encourage competition and … well, someone wants to use this tactic, it may see a black near future … An example of a test to see clearly (in Google Search in English), New York seeking the floor, or do it on Yahoo!, Seeking the same … if Yahoo! does not provide a hand to its jurisdiction … why should Google do?

Business processes are similar to a river flowing in a natural direction and carrying information from point A to point B. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is one of the techniques used in Lean Six Sigma for identifying areas of waste that need to be avoided in both manufacturing as well as office business processes. Aside from identifying areas of waste, VSM also helps in streamlining business processes for achieving higher productivity. VSM is based on scientifically proven methods, making it necessary for organization to employ profession Six Sigma consultants (VSM specialists) during the implementation stage.

The Initial Process

Implementing VSM is a long drawn process where the first step involves mapping the current flow of materials or information in key business processes of an organization. The mapping is done with the help of flowcharts that depict the flow of goods or information from one end to another. The flowchart also contains information about the average time taken for the completion of various sub processes. For generating a comprehensive flowchart, consultants often gather inputs from business heads, floor managers or factory workers. While creating the flowchart, key sub-processes are highlighted using specific icons. This helps in pinpointing areas where waste and inconsistencies are happening. The flowchart also helps in understanding the complexity of a business process, which needs to be simplified for increasing efficiency.  Read more...
