Today was a really fun day. I continued, as always, to learn a lot of cool things. At the end of the day Ammon sat down with me and really dug into a few websites and showed me what he thought could improve the website, design, structure, and in the end save them $100’s, if not $1000’s of dollars.
- Client Management- ETM (Easy To Maintain), Lee designed the Content Management System for Fresh Egg. He walked me through the system, showing me how to upload the client details to the ETM.
- What should you be tracking for your clients?- What things are crucial to have within your system, both for you and your clients.
- Using CSS for web design- Does every website need to be using CSS? What are the benefits of using CSS?
- Tables, Javascript, Flash…- Where should they go in your website?- Ammon sat down with me and tore an admirable website apart (USAlarm.com) and demonstrated that how they structured their website was costing them money each day. When should you use these and how should they be built into your website?
- Thin Coded Sites vs. Fatter Sites?- Do the spiders get tired of crawling through your messy code? Does is effect your ranking?
- Website Structure– Ammon didn’t just stop in the back office of USAlarm he continued to tear other parts of the website apart.
