How to determine your need for VPS hosting

Posted July 28th, 2010 in Web Hosting by Sam

When building your website, you need to examine several critical factors, such as the appearance, the target demographic of your site’s content and the purpose of the website. But there’s one more significant factor – one that’s often overlooked until the end of the project. I’m talking, of course, about the type of hosting plan that you plan to purchase for the site. You may not realize this, but determining the best hosting plan for your website is not always as easy you might think. Certain kinds of dsites may do just fine on a shared hosting plan; however, others may not fare as well since such a site might have features that require more resources than a shared environment can provide.

If that’s the case, then a dedicated server is a good option, but it is not always the best fit for growing websites – especially those operating with a smaller budget. Nowadays, there is a great alternative that you might find quite appealing: VPS web hosting, or Virtual Private Server hosting.

Drop down menu behind flash

Posted December 9th, 2009 in CSS, HTML Tips and Tricks, Web development by Sam

One of the more common issues with embedding a flash object on your home page (or any page for that matter) is that if it is near the navigation and you have CSS drop-down menus, then you may find your drop-down menu getting lost behind the flash object. If you haven’t dealt with this before it can feel like a nightmare, but fortunately it’s a pretty easy fix.

The Problem: You have a CSS based drop-down menu in your navigation and a flash element near it the menus may get “hidden” behind the flash object.

The Solution: Set the z-index of the div holding the flash to 1 and the z-index of the div holding the nav to 2.

In the flash element:

Look for the flash <object> tag and add the following code:

<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”>

You’ll want to insert this code right below the <param name=”quality” value=”high”> tag and include the code wmode=”transparent” in the flash <embed> tag .

Web Design Strategy with Search engine marketing

Posted July 11th, 2009 in Website Marketing by Sam

The phrase “web design strategy means a range of different things to different people, and involves more than merely “design decisions. The term seems to imply that the issue is about color, page layout and the use of Flash animations. Yes, these factors are part of the big picture, but the “bigger picture is about the overall design of your website, meaning its entire “architecture.

You need to find out how your site’s overall “information architecture affects its visibility to search engines. The truth is, specific web page elements like your navigation scheme and technologies like CSS (Cascading Style Scripts) or JavaScript can either interfere with or aid a search engine’s ability to “spider and rate your site. Sometimes an element can do both, at the same time!

The whole topic of a “site architecture or web design strategy that supports Search Engine Marketing (SEM) has really been quite poorly addressed. Many companies that do SEM consulting have less than state-of-the-art knowledge of how information architecture and design strategy affect a site’s usability and organic rankings. If your consultant, or your own research, is focusing only on search advertising, media buys and bidding processes, you are not getting the whole picture.

A top position in the Google results is useless if site visitors aren’t being converted into buyers. A successful site architecture and site design strategy will address the needs of both the search engines and your visitors/customers.
