How to build a Local Website Go Local is the name of the game in 2011/12 and the success of bringing the global web developments back home is a trend of the time. First it was about tagging people, now we tag locations, be it on social networks such as Facebook or on Photo sites, such as Picasa or Flickr. Based on the fact that surfers search for and prefer local business to cross border transactions, social networks namely have built in the local tags and stimulate users to hook media and events to geographically tagged locations. How to dominate the local market? In order to dominate the local market, you need to assess the use of the internet your neighbors make; chances are that they mostly hang out on social media, search Google and use email. This is of course an extremely simplified view but it gives an indication about where we need to build high visibility. You also want to have an idea about how people access the net and websites; you will notice an increased use of mobile deices, which means that your content needs to be formatted and optimized for desktops as well as for tablets [...]

Original Article at Website Design.Your Look and Feel make the Difference The look of your website is the first impression visitors get about you, your business, your attitude and your professionalism. Surfing the web we notice that hype sites have a different look than professional well founded content sites. Online Casinos look differently than wellness sites and Government sites look different from personal blogs. The presentation is a question of your personal preferences or also of your professional choice. Ego Centered Websites Ego centered web sites are designed based on personal preferences, such as a personal blog. Ego centered blogs are in first line here to please the creator. The approach can be without compromise and highlight mainly content of personal interest. Visitor Centered Websites Customer or Visitor Centered web sites are built with a purpose to communicate with a targeted audience. The look is an important element of communication, namely when it comes to the first impression and the immediate empathy that can be built or blocked.

YorgoMan was shouting for weeks as he estimated that his website was outdated. In fact it was not all that bad, but when he saw the new XO and the Evo2, he just screamed for it. Well if this keeps him off Facebook …. The Concept of the YorgoMan site The idea was to build a very visual site (these youngsters don’t like to read and write). His Evo2 is entirely media based with photo, video and music galleries. As the absence of text in the xml files constitutes a handicap for optimization, Evo2 is paired by an XO 2011. Both sites are interlinked whereas on the XO we rotate 3D banners with screen-shots of Evo2 and linking to the corresponding Page on Evo2. From Evo2 a link leads back to the blog. The WordPress Menu from XO points exclusively to the corresponding Evo2 pages; in fact, it’s a copy of the Evo2 menu. The lower section features [...]Related posts:Semiomantics Evo2 ImagesEvo2 Gallery TutorialEvo 2 Home Page TutorialElegant Web Design Evo2How to build your Evo2

In order to multiply a module, you just need to use your copy and paste capabilities :-). The above image illustrates the present YorgoMan site. You can see the menu entries representing multiple times the gallery module. This means we have created multiple (4 additional) photo galleries. Here are the photo albums: Sun and Sea (this one is the original gallery with the images.xml) Basketball Friends Holidays I me and myself In order to make these albums work, you need to create for each album an image folder. The easiest is to create image folders under evo2/images with the name of the album, such as basketball, friends ……. Second, you create xml files for each menu item: basketball.xml, friends.xml,… which you put into the folder evo2/xml. To make life easier, just copy and paste the content of images.xml and adapt accordingly. Finally you need to make sure that your menu [...]Related posts:Evo2 Menu TutorialEvo 2 Home Page TutorialElegant Web Design Evo2How to build your Evo2Elegant Evo2 Web Design

For this reason we will publish here a step by step guide about how to realize an Evo2 project. The Evo2 Tutorial or Guide There will be a tutorial per module used to realize a simple project. In order to follow the Guide you will need to have access to an Evo2 script as well as to a tool to re-size and crop images. Finally you will need to dispose of some media, images and eventually videos. We recommend to use Photoshop where available or Pain which is a free tool coming with Windows. The Project For the purpose of this tutorial we will implement a simple project called YorgoMan 2010, which will highlight YorgoMan’s year. In as much as I am concerned, I will use Photoshop to edit images, however paint will do as well.
