Users typically look at your homepage in a “F Shaped” pattern, according to a study by Jakob Nielsen.
This study found that users:
* begin by reading horizontally across the main body content of your webpage
* then scanning down the left side of your webpage
* then reading horizontally again about half way across the middle of your body content
Understanding your users and optimizing your content will lead to a better experience for your customers.

When your Business announces a new product or service, hires a new employee, opens a new office, etc it is important to get the word out to your customers. Sending a Press Release is an established method of information distribution.
There are free services that will distribute your Press Release:
pr.com
prleap.com
prxbuilder.com
The “FREE” distribution is usually fairly limited and these services offer paid upgrades to distribute your release to traditional wire services like newspapers as well as websites.

Google has launched a service allowing your business to advertise on the radio. Here is how it works:
1. Create an audio clip of your ad and some type of call to action (ie: “Visit www.yoursite.com/free to get your free quote”)
2. Upload to Google and choose the type of radio station, geographic regions and times of day you would like to ad to play. Depending on your choices, the price varies.
3. Setup a budget with Google and confirm when your radio ad should begin playing
Once that is all setup it is important to gauge the effectiveness of your radio ad by monitoring your Google Analytics reports.
An effective radio ad should:
1. Drive traffic to your website
2. Generate qualified leads via your website or telephone number

Solar Glass wanted more control over their website. We used WordPress along with some Flash design work to give the site a professional feel and empower Solar Glass’s staff to easily manage copy and graphics. A Blog was also added to enable Solar Glass to write about their company and their industry. Google Analytics is used to measure website traffic, Google search results and gain a general understanding of how customers are using the website.

Every summer my wife volunteers at American Diabetes Association Camp Colorado as a medical counselor. This camp is a great opportunity for kids with Diabetes to have a fun week outdoors.
Divinia volunteered a website, hosting and graphic design efforts. Like many Small Businesses or Non-Profits, getting control of content is the number one request. We used WordPress, a Blog, YouTube video cllps and PDF/MS Word downloads to deliver information to parents and campers. We also used Google Analytics to monitor web traffic. The week of camp traffic spiked to several hundred unique visits!
