As I mentioned in my post 5 Reasons to Think Twice Before You Buy a Flash Website, there are many drawbacks of building your Web presence in Flash. However, if you understand the implications of a Flash website, and still think it’s the right solution for you, please be kind to your visitors, and keep these simple rules in mind:
Adobe Flash - commonly referred to as simply Flash - is a common platform designed to deliver rich Internet content through the browser. "Rich content" are things beyond basic text - animations, video, music, simple applications and games, and so on. The nature of Flash also lends itself to easily creating complex, interesting and "cool" Websites.
Unfortunately, that cool website might have serious implications if it's your face to the world on the Internet. This article discusses 5 major reasons to consider alternatives to Flash.
I’ve recently released a small Image Uploader class for PHP. You can download it from PHPClasses. The class is very simple, and only does one thing – as all good classes do. It processes images uploaded via a web Form, resizes and saves them. It can handle JPG, GIF & PNG files, and saves all files in JPG format.
As mentioned in my last post, a big part of SEO for all websites is link building. If you’re doing that work yourself, you’ll probably stumble upon some link directories.
This morning, I saw a good post on Directory Submission Red Flags by Matt McGee over at Small Business SEM. Give this a good read, and keep his tips in mind when looking for a directory.
Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing process, and should be considered to be a part of your overall marketing effort. In fact, it's marketing directed at a very specific market - the search engines and their algorithms that scour the Internet for information to return to people for a search. By building your site in such a way that the search engines can easily read your content and figure out what you do, you increase the number of eyes that can find your website exponentially. With a well thought out and directed plan, you will bring more potential customers to your website.
Well, we've finally made the switch over to Drupal. I've been talking about it for about 6 months, because it seems odd that I recommend Drupal to pretty much anybody I talk to about getting a website, and I was using a roll your own, pseudo CMS that I put together last summer. Making changes to it was a drag, and it didn't have all the best features of a CMS. About all it had going for it was the ability to change the content without messing around with the code. But, with the release of Drupal 6.3, and (possibly more importantly) the Views and CCK modules for Drupal 6, I decided the time had come to upgrade.
If you are a small business owner, at one point or another, odds are, you've considered getting a website. If you have, and if you've been blown away by the number of options available to you, then you need to read this.

After reading this, we hope that you will be better prepared when you go shopping to get - or upgrade - your Website.
