Malaysia website design blog
Do you feel weird asking yourself this question? Of course you would if you’ve met many clients demanding to have something done in Flash and it becomes worst when they’d like their whole website to be done in Flash.
Ironic as it might seem thinking I shouldn’t be complaining since Flash work does cost more than normal static HTML work, I think too many have abused Flash in many devilish and unfulfilling ways. Especially when the client doesn’t really need it and realize it.
My all-time listening radio station has gotta be Hitz FM ever since it launched a long time ago. I remember always trying to wake up early and listening to the comedy of Lil Kev and Fly Guy. During that time it was the golden years for Hitz FM Morning Crew and I still miss it. Maybe the duo could start an online podcast thing for the people who remember them.
Anyway, this exclusive review is written to assist in a media student’s research or survey before taking on the task of trying to redesign the Hitz FM website. Melisa Lim of uNCUT…uNPLUGGED…uNCENSORED is doing a Hitz FM Web Survey.
So let’s get started. *knuckles cracking*
We’ve got a local game retail shop making some news in the newspapers and magazines since last year. All of which belong to Software Boutique that runs the online website, Gamers.com.my Though the original game scene isn’t very supported by many here since the comparison of value you get between the original and pirated version doesn’t show significant value.
Unless of course you compare to games like World of Warcraft – though there have been cases of piracy for that as well. Anyway, the piracy is the ‘yang’ and it’s bound to be around in order for balance of the gaming industry in some way. Before I float off further into some psychological frenzy, here’s an exclusive review of the Gamers.com.my website.
In my email today of the Adsense newsletter edition, they had a short interview with their optimization specialist (sounds cool, no?) Mike Gutner. So what does Mike do?
I work on AdSense optimization. We run tests to identify the best ways in which AdSense publishers can make the most of their Google ads.
No wonder everyone feels like working for Google. Not only do you have cool titles but you’ve got cool stuff to do in the office. I wonder if there’s anyone wearing fluffy slippers around the office. But let’s talk about Mike’s explaination of some ad placements.
You’re in a meeting and you’re discussing the changes needed made to the current project. Your breathing becomes heavy and your heart is pounding furiously like it just wants to pop out and hit your client with its arteries. It all comes to an end when your faces starts to develop pimples in just a couple of hours.
This building pressure between yourself and the clients always happen when some things are not under control. There might be several methods to control a situation like this from a decent polite manner to a no holding back and give your client a heart attack way. But first, when are the times clients would become considered insane?
Having visited Entrepreneur.com I decided to read one of their newest articles, Newspaper Ads. Advertising in the daily newspapers is something every company does and they do it very aggressively if they’ve a new product or just have the budget to do it.
The article mentions two types of newspapers; local and international. Too bad for us that we’ve no international ones. So even the suggestive cheaper local paper option isn’t viable to us. Oh phoeey!
I share this post with everyone after reading the small white paper produced by David Meerman Scott who’s a writer and consultant. He’s not a professional website designer or architect but focuses much on content.
So when you learn about his tips, do keep in mind that you need to imagine them from all available angles especially in a more content driven manner. The original article is 10 Web Landing Page Tips to Drive Action and it’s a PDF document hosted on David’s website. If you’d like to grab a copy, you’d need to look inside his Resources.
Yesterday I was over at my uncle’s place hogging my cousins Sony Playstation 2. The past few times that I’ve visited, he’s asked me how’s business and has any new business come in. Being a small company trying to build its foundation and create awareness of essential website value, we don’t get project every day and I sure don’t want to overburden my colleagues. We’ll just leave it as that.
My uncle then asked if I’d like to grab some of his namecards of clients and ring them up. When I asked him why (doh!), he said it’s obviously to call them and ask if they’d like a website done by us. I answered that it’s alright and continued playing my game.
Ever since the consumer market has been penetrated by fitness centres like Fitness First, there have been many other big fitness facility providers emerging and one opened by Jackie Chan to boot.
When you (assumingly someone who’s interested in joining the club) visit the website, what are the things you’d be looking out for? Or what would your surfing waves be like?
Here’s the scenario. I’m planning to launch a marketing effort of promoting our services to prospective clients. However, here’s the ticker of the scenario. These ‘prospective clients’ are actually website owners with average or lower than average level websites. They might not have the intention of making their website better and by George, I don’t think they’d want to spend a single cent improving their website.
After all, in Malaysia nobody complains about a bad website to the owner. So I’m deciding to jump into the these website owners faces and do something about it.
