During a recent web project we decided to drop the usual home button from the main navigation which proved to be highly controversial. After much debate we ended up adding it back in.
Since this project the same dilemma has cropped up on a number of occasions, the dilemma is this: Do we stick to what we’ve been doing for many years now or do we make the change and ditch the home button? After all, is it really needed?
Last week we watched a short video from Think Vitamin where Ryan Carson talked with Paul Boag about ‘The Demise Of The Website’ (amongst other things). But what was he really getting at? Well having talked about it within the team we think he was trying to get across that your website (however great it is) is not enough when it comes to attracting new business via the web.
If you own a website then you are bound to be concerned about getting it noticed. All to often people believe that if they put up a professional looking website, traffic will come - This is not the case. You need to actively promote your websites products/services and post relevant information to potential new customers or clients, this doesn’t need to be costly - it just takes time.
We love to get freebies on the web. So instead of taking we aim to give back every now and again. Following on from 12 Free and High Quality Icon Set we are offering 10 Free Social Icons for download. Our recent post on how to find us online had a lot of requests for the icons to be available so here they are. Enjoy.
