Black Friday? What is it?
Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,
I’m hearing and seeing all kinds of advertisements giving away what they call “Black Friday Specials” “Black Friday Deals” special coupons and all kinds of things to try and bring in the Holiday season of shopping. But do we really know what Black Friday is?
I did just a little bit of research to see what I could come up with and you be amazed at what I found. Listed below is just a brief list of what I was able to find by doing a simple search for “What is Black Friday” on google.
- Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, traditionally the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. The term dates back to at least 1966, although its usage was primarily on the East coast. …

Are you the one?
Hey Guy’s and Gal’s,
Tim here, sorry it’s been a while since my last post but I’ve been contemplating adding to my team. Let me explain.
As a freelance web designer I personally know how difficult it can be to get notice, especially when your just starting out. I’ve been there and done that. And working through freelance website like eLance and a few others can be very difficult to get a bid for a project when you don’t have a website to show off your talents.
I’ve been working behind the scenes for over 15 years now and I know how difficult it was to get my foot in the door.
I’m not saying I have the solution to your problems but I would like to offer you an opportunity to be a part of my team.
I haven’t ironed out all the details but this is what I would like to do.
If you have an expertise in any of the areas listed below I would like you to get in touch with me via my contact form and let’s talk.
- Website Design

- Wordpress Theme Design
- PHP Developers
- Twitter Background Designers
- Copy Writers (Sales & Media Presentations)

You must have at least 1 to 3 years experience…
That’s it. Simply fill out the contact form at this link and tell me a little bit about yourself. And I’ll get in touch with you within 24 hours.
Have a wonderful day
Tim
Reducing Load Time Through Image Optimization
Reducing Load Time Through Image Optimization
Even though more and more Internet users switch to broadband every year, a large portion of the web’s population is still running on good old dialup connections. It is therefore unwise to count them out of the equation when you’re designing your website, and a very major consideration we have to make for dialup users is the loading time of your website.
Generally, all the text on your website will be loaded in a very short time even on a dialup connection. The culprit of slow-loading sites is mainly large images on your website, and it is very important to strike a delicate balance between using just enough images to attract your users and not to bog down the overall loading time of your site.

When Is the Right Time to Redesign?
When Is the Right Time to Redesign?
If you run a website, chances are you often wonder whether it is the right time to do a total redesign of the layout of your website. Here are some points to consider:
Are you thinking of a redesign just for the sake of it? If you answered yes to that question, it is not yet the right time to do a redesign. Remember, a design serves a specific purpose. If you are not sure whether to do an overhaul of your site, keep in mind that your current design might have a specific purpose that you might not know about. You will lose that function if you do a redesign.
On the other hand, if your website has had the same website design since 1990, perhaps it is high time to do a redesign. The last thing you would ever want to happen to your site is when visitors leave your site without taking a look at your content just because the design is old fashioned. If this is your case, here are some points to ponder before doing a redesign.
Redesigning your website is like performing plastic surgery on it. Your website loses its current identity (for the better or worse) and your regular visitors might not recognise your new design at first glance. You risk losing them just because they thought they landed on the wrong page. Hence, it is very important that you retain a characteristic feature from your old layout. Perhaps it is the logo of your site; perhaps it is the same text style for the title for your site.
To play it safe, put a poll on your site to let your visitors do the talking. If they think it is necessary for the website to have a fresh look, give it to them!
Tomorrow we’ll talk about “Web Design Elements You Should Avoid Having on Your Site”
Until next time have a wonderful day!
Who Is Your Audience?
Who Is Your Audience?
Understanding the type of people who visit your site is a very important task because you can use that information to enhance your site to suit them. As a result, you will gain more loyal returning visitors that come back again and again for more.
What is the age level and what kind of knowledge does your audience have? A layman might linger around a general site on gardening, but a professional botanist might turn his nose at the very same site. Similarly, a regular person will leave a site filled with astronomy abstracts but a well educated university graduate will find that site interesting. Continue reading
Why You Should Use Graphic Templates
Why You Should Use Graphic Templates
When it comes to graphics, most Internet marketers shy away from using graphic templates whether it’s ebook covers, website layouts or promotional banners because they firmly believe that by using graphic templates, they are tarnishing their own business. They want to own a unique identity and hence will always find a professional graphic designer to do the job. Well, you’re in for a big surprise!
When you purchase a graphic template, you will be able to customize it to an extent or even build a totally new design based on it! What’s the point of using the template then, you say? Well, it serves as a source of inspiration and ideas for a totally new design. You can’t derive anything from a blank canvas, right?

Don’t Get Terminated by Google
How To Avoid Getting Your Adsense Account Terminated
Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.
For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.
