Improving SEO through Quality Content

Posted on by

The best way to rank up on Google’s search engine is through quality content. The content should principally provide visitors with useful information. The content might either be informative, such as an in-depth answer to a specific question or a tutorial. It might also be interesting information that will trigger social sharing and positive feedbacks.

In brief, the content would need to serve a purpose to potential site visitors. Google uses factors such as the time spent by the user on the site or the number of clicks to determine the quality of the content. Websites offering such quality content benefit from a higher page ranking on Google as they are judged to be useful. For this, Google makes use of algorithms. Continue reading →

You need to get good cushions if you like to work on the sofa

Posted on by

Do you often work from your sofa or bed on your laptop? If so you need to make sure you have some firm and comfortable cushions.

After all, if you’re not sleeping soundly it can have lasting effects on you throughout the day. If you use this guide, you can easily save thousands now so you can afford the mattress of your dreams later.

Mattress Toppers

Adding polyurethane foam sheets as a topper to your mattress can bring a bit of support back to your mattress and allow you to continue using it for a while longer yet. The thickness should be between two to four inches, depending on your size and desired support strength. Be sure to order enough that it can cover your entire bed.

To save even more money, you can create the topper yourself. First, you’ll need to get some polyurethane foam from Canada, and a foam cutting tool. Measure twice, cut once. You can always trim the excess away, but it’s a lot more difficult to order more and glue it together.

Cut the foam to the size and shape of your bed, and then place it on top with a sheet over the topper and tucked into the corners of your mattress. If you’re using a thicker foam, you may need to have deep-pocketed sheets for it to fit.

Final Tip

One final tip for those with stiff necks in the morning. Order a memory foam pillow! The dense foam cradles the neck and provides additional support as needed.

Checklist for hiring a good web designer

Posted on by

If you’re building a website or want to update your existing website and you decide to hire a designer to help you can quickly get overwhelmed. There are thousands of Web designers. How do you decide what makes one designer better than another designer?

Experience Isn’t Everything

Most people will tell you that the most important thing is experience. A designer who doesn’t have a lot of experience, they’ll tell you, can’t give you the quality that an experienced designer can. I don’t agree. While experience can be useful, it can also be a drawback. Just because a designer has less experience doesn’t mean that he or she can’t build a beautiful site for you.

Take Note: If a designer says they’ve been building websites since before 1995, they are almost definitely exaggerating. When I started working on the Web in 1995, very very few people had even heard of the Web, let alone had set up a business. I was working at an Internet company, which is the only reason I was involved with it at that time.Before you base your decision solely on how many sites they’ve built or how long they’ve been in business, think about this:

  • Many long-time designers are stuck in their habits and might not be willing or able to give you a cutting edge website (if that’s what you want).
  • Younger designers are more likely to have gone to school to get a Web design degree. While this isn’t vital either, it does tell you that this person has academic knowledge that an older designer might only have through practice.

Ask to See Their Portfolio

While experience might not be important, having a good portfolio is. You shouldn’t be as concerned with whether the portfolio is made up of live sites, so much that the examples show diversity and range for the designer. Ask to see the portfolio online so that you can see how the websites they’ve built actually work. This is especially important if you’re looking for a designer to build any type of interactivity for your website.

Some people will tell you that the way the potential Web designer’s personal site looks is a good measure of how good a designer they will be. But I disagree with this too. While I do think having a good Web design business site is important. I don’t think that it’s a good indicator of how well they would design your site. Most designers design their business site when they’re not working on paying jobs. And if they have tons of time to modify their business site, then they don’t have a lot of experience, do they? But they might have a good portfolio. So you have to judge for yourself.
