Designing a website involves more than slapping some HTML tags onto a page and the basic principals of design are the same for print design or website design. The elements of good design also apply, whether you are interested in graphic design services or fashion design, and these basics will guide you in laying out the different elements in an effective, eye-pleasing way.

It takes more than a handful of HTML tags added to a page to complete a website design. That is where the principals and elements of design, from print design to brochure design, come in; once you learn how to use the elements in order to design an eye-catching site, you will have the skills necessary to become a great designer.

Lines help delineate spaces around elements on a web page and can be vertical or horizontal, and the line work increases the understanding of the design. They can be used as borders around elements, dividing lines between elements, contours around elements and decoration in website design. One of the most versatile elements is shape; they can make up any enclosed area in the design. Most of the shapes you see on web pages are rectangular or square, but you can use images, lines, color etc. to create other shapes.

One of the major elements of design is lines or line work. They are used to increase readability, as well as borders and contours around different elements and decoration, all working together to create a unique website design. Shapes are also a much-used versatile element of design. Most often you see them as rectangular or square on a web page, but they can incorporate images and most anything else you can think of to generate interest.

The other major elements of a design are texture, color and direction; all used in graphic design as well. Texture on web pages is visual, but you can use artificial or natural textures to create an effect in your design. Color is the design element that a web designer is most aware of, but color is not a requirement of any design. Most often, it is best to create the designs without color and add it later. Direction gives your designs a sense of motion across the page. The better sites will lead you through the design so that you see what the designer wants you to see. Of course, it is always a good idea to sketch the design on paper first and then transfer it to the web design software.

All of your design work starts with a blank page no matter what type of design you prefer or use. When you look at the page, do you just start placing elements and putting them around the page randomly or do you work like most good designers and actually think about the placement of the tables, graphics, text and navigation bar in your website design? The actual placement of the elements is a huge part of creating the perfect web page.

If you plan to be a good designer, then when you see that blank web page do not just throw random images or graphics on it and hope for the best. A good website design is well thought out, long before any actual additions to the pages are made. This enables you to see how well everything you have in mind will blend together, in order to create a great, user friendly, interactive website.

Of all slideup ad software, I found the Ultimate Footer Ad to have the best graphical appeal in a way that complements a blog if you happen to run it as your home page and is most stable in its coding. Even John Chow likes it too.

I heard that Launch Tree is now selling a package every 10 seconds, and I don’t know if this is any faster than hamburgers over the counter but it is definitely the hottest product of 2009 right now.

The bad news is the price is only guaranteed for the next 12 hours and the bonuses are only guaranteed for the next 1 hour…

However that should be enough time for you to rush over to the site and secure your copy.

By now you have most likely seen the videos with Andy Jenkins, Frank Kern, Russell Brunson, Anik Singal and Mike Filsaime. If you haven’t knew what is going on, here’s a quick recap: Mike and Anik have used the Launch Tree techniques to generate over $10 million themselves. Other well-known marketers have also use the techniques to generate shocking numbers…like Andy Jenkins making $1.8 million from a FREE product, and Russell Brunson making $350,000 in only 90 days.

But what exactly is Launch Tree about?

You probably know that there are 2 parts to the sales process. There’s what’s called the front end, and what’s called the back end. The front end is where you offer your initial product. The back end is where you make one or more follow-up offers, either for your own products or for affiliate products.

This is where Launch Tree turns the world upside down, and can dramatically grow your income by 456% or more.

Launch Tree shows you how to give away products and make MORE money than you would by selling anything on the front end. And if you’re selling already, you can create a Launch Tree that still puts your sales into hyperdrive while still helping you grow your back end income by leaps and bounds (like Russell Brunson did).

That’s the breakthrough…seeing the back end as the place where wealth is made. If you can start thinking that way, the income can start pouring in. And that’s what Launch Tree Shows you how to do.

To hit a few high points:

* You’ll get 10 modules that show you every bit of the Launch Tree strategy, including how to create your Launch Tree from scratch

* 10 free gifts worth $1,915.97 just for trying out Launch Tree, including the chance to have Anik and Mike help you build your own Launch Tree

* You have 60 days to try it all…and if you aren’t 100% satisfied, they’ll buy it back from you!

If you’re willing to put in the extra few hours of planning and setup, Launch Tree will show you how to make up to 5 times more than you’re currently making…using your EXISTING traffic. Yes, that means you grow your income painlessly.

That’s why this is one of the most anticipated products of the year. It’s like putting a rocket engine on your business, just like Anik and Mike have done for theirs.

STOP leaving money behind. If it wasn’t for Anik and Mike, you would be leaving Hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table!

This product reveals EXACTLY how the industry’s top marketers succeed and make their millions. At least check the sales page and read through the details. It is an eye-opener in itself.

How would you like to be able to almost print money on demand?

There’s only ONE way for you to be able to do this…

And it requires you to have your own list of subscribers.

Once you have your own list all you have to do is blast an e-mail and you’ll see floods of money roll in.

Many have portrayed list building to be a fine art, but it isn’t.

It simply requires following a proven step-by-step system.

James Penn has developed that system and it is THAT system that enables him to build lists that produce $3,928.50 (and counting) from 13 minutes work and just one e-mail!

And you can do the same.

Find out what Accelerated List Building is all about.

My friend Howie Schwartz has lost his mind AGAIN. The “mad hatter” of traffic has put together a brand new PDF showing 3 new Web 2.0 sites that Google loves to rank…

Plus he even made a video showing how to find the top converting “buying” keywords to use with these brand new traffic grabbing properties!

Better hurry, because he’s taking this all away as soon as his new toilet gets delivered (you’ll understand what that means when you go get your video and PDF by clicking this link).

You may have heard of testimonials and case studies about very small and very weird niches, like how to play the bongo or how to keep iguanas as pets, making lots of money but we just could not suspend our disbelief to think how true the viable market size is out there.

One substantial evidence you can derive about the popularity of a niche is to check the video view count when researching through video sites. Compare and contrast 2 user experiences of an Internet surfer:

1) The touch-and-go instances of visiting and leaving a website in seconds

2) Having to sit through a video from start to finish for a few minutes

And you’ll be much more encouraged and convinced by the obvious interest of video watchers on the basis of one reason: YouTube records as 1 count a fully watched video, not partially watched video. Read this blog post: What is a Video View Count on YouTube, Metacafe, Revver, DailyMotion, etc.?

A benchmark for a successful video relating to a highly specialized or obscure subject matter should be over 500 views, though it may take a year to reach this number. That doesn’t mean you can’t make a video series to beef up and consolidate your YouTube presence. True enough, someone with the account name ‘expertvillage’ does have a few videos about iguanas that surpass 1000 views. As for bongo playing, the top-listed YouTube video (based on the search phrase “how to play the bongo”) has 97298 views at this time of writing. Small niche? Only few people would want to play a “stupid drum”? How wrong can we be!

In a previous post, I outlined ways to find the right Web-hosting service for your Web site. Assuming you’ve secured one, the next step is to physically create your site. A critical part of this process involves deciding how you want your Web site to look. Because I deal in words, not visuals, I asked my former colleague Sean Brown to offer some design dos and don’ts. Mr. Brown is an interaction design director at Condé Nast Digital and oversees the layout of the company’s men.style.com and style.com Web sites.

1) DO LEAD BY EXAMPLE

You should never assume the user understands your model or the goal behind your Web site. This means that you should know the purpose behind your site so that you can effectively relay it to the reader. A commercial Web site may have different needs—an online shopping cart, for example—from a personal one.

Assuming you are still reading this post, remember also that attention spans are short, all the more so online where leaving a Web site is just a mouse click away. This means you should never make the reader work to understand your Web site. Make sure that your navigation bar is both visible and clearly labeled. Any hyperlinks should also be clearly distinguishable from normal text, as should any visited versus non-accessed links. Do not use hard-to-read or tiny fonts—Arial and Helvetica are generally good bets. Animated GIF files should also be kept to a minimum. Also make sure to include a smart search box.

2) DO MAKE THE WEB SITE SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY

Whether your Web site is for professional or personal use, you should design it with search engine optimization (SEO) in mind. It’s better to use Web-safe fonts, for example, over graphic heavy text.

3) DO YOUR RESEARCH

Look at Web sites you like. Almost all sites have a core layout. Find a template you like and use it as your springboard.

4) DO TEST YOUR WEB SITE

Test your site in advance of its launch and regularly thereafter, even if you plan on updating it only infrequently. Make sure your site works on different browsers—especially Internet Explorer and Firefox—as well as across different fonts and screen resolutions. Broken links not only prevent a visitor from getting access to their desired information, but also present you in a less-than-flattering online light.

5) DON’T GET FLASH DRUNK

Or for that matter color or graphics drunk. When choosing your color palette, a minimalist approach is best. This is not to say you should avoid all design effects like drop shadows, only that you should ideally use them to communicate your goal and not just because you can.

6) DON’T ELIMINATE ALL WHITE SPACE

Some Web sites have a policy of no white space, also known as the blank space between text or other graphics. Here’s why yours shouldn’t. If used well, white space can help direct a reader’s eye to specific information you want highlighted. White space can also cut down on clutter and create invisible boundaries across texts. A no-white-space policy may result in a disorienting reader-based experience.

7) DON’T MAKE THE USER WAIT

Your Web site should load quickly. Don’t make the user follow along with a load box. If you insist on having music with your site, give the user the option to mute it. On the home page and elsewhere, keep pop-ups, banner ads and other ad-like content to a minimum, if not nonexistent. If you’re a Firefox user, you might try the Yslow add-on, which analyzes the speed of your page. Another useful add-on is Firebug.

8) DON’T BOUNCE AROUND

In other words, keep the look of your Web site consistent throughout. If your logo is on the upper left hand side of your Web site, for example, keep it there across all pages. Also make sure to have a tab on every page that lets users link back to the home page. If the reader has to rely on the browser’s back button to navigate around, you didn’t do your job. As a test, ask yourself if you’d be able to navigate your site if it were written in another language. Facebook keeps its layout the same irrespective of language so that even though I don’t speak Afrikaans, I can still get around Facebook’s Afrikaans language site.

9) DON’T CLUTTER THE HOME PAGE

Make sure your home page is clean and not overrun with links. The goal is to provide the reader with enough information to enter your site, not to scare them away.

10) DON’T FORGET ABOUT CONTENT

Content is ultimately king. Good Web design highlights the content and adds to it without detracting from the Web site’s goal. Still, good design alone doesn’t cut it. Text matters, so keep your paragraphs informative but short. Simply put, seek out the fluff and cut it.

That was what my friend Bryant Jones did in Thailand. In the last 6 months he had traveled in Mexico, Thailand and Indonesia leisurely.

In September of last year he was able to walk away from a job most people dream of, and as he told it, it was exactly in line with what he wanted to manifest in his life. Of course I asked why…

His response was a passionate oration about how he was “living a lie” by working a JOB that he hated and letting his passion for life be “strangled to death” by the boss, the morning traffic, his (good-hearted but) incompetent co-workers and what he called “the fishbowl”—the confines of the office. He got so worked up I thought he might lose it for a sec…

He caught his breath and calmed down a bit. Then he started telling a story about how 2 years ago when he lost his business and his wife walked out on him, he sat down to create a document that detailed his perfect day and how focusing on that “dream life” finally had him get in line with what he really wanted…

And here’s where you come in…

Bryant told me he is now on a personal crusade to make sure that anyone that has a dream of getting out of the rat race or wants to travel, work and live anywhere has the tools and support to do so.

When I heard this I asked him if he would help you and he gave me a resounding YES…

Go here to ask him any question you have about following your dreams while living, working and traveling anywhere and it will be answered next week on a FREE teleseminar. Go get the details now.

Hundreds of thousands of people learn from Mark through his personal development program, including a 3-time Olympian.

Starting a web shop is a good way to work for yourself. One of the more in demand settings to use to start an online shop is eBay, with their relatively simple to use, very popular online marketplace. Most likely the fastest method to begin making money on eBay is by using an eBay dropshippers company.

Following are 5 of the many reasons to think about making use of dropshippers for eBay selling:

1. Inexpensive to get started – If you use a wholesale dropship company to get your product from, you do not store product yourself. Without the need to maintain products in stock, you have no money tied up in product which means your startup costs are very low.

2. Product variety – Because you don’t stock what you sell, you can have a wide variety of products for sale on eBay. By making use of an eBay dropshipper, you find out what items sell best for you, and then put your effort on that assortment of products.

3. Product payment – By using an eBay dropshipper, you never pay for items until you have been paid. This means you never have any money out of pocket. The customer places the order and you receive your money, at which time you promptly place the order with your dropshipper.

4. Shipping is not your concern – Shipping is done exclusively by your eBay drop shippper, which gives you one fewer item to be concerned with. Shipping products often is an incredibly labor intensive ordeal, so by using a dropshipper, you are freeing yourself from this problem.

5. Low risk – Dropshipping offers one of the least risky ways to start selling on eBay because you do not spend money to stock products. Your only expense is the fees to list on eBay and you only pay for the items once you receive payment.

By using dropship companies, you are lowering the monetary threshold to open an eBay store to the lowest possible amount. By being smart about choosing the correct eBay drop shipping suppliers to do business with, and by choosing the best products to sell on eBay, you are well on your way to having a profitable eBay operation.

If you’re interested in selling e-books or other information products online, here are a few tips to make sure you make the most money:

1) Choose a niche where customers have a VERY strong EMOTIONAL NEED.

Why do most e-books and other information products fail and leave the author with nothing to show for their effort but wasted time?

Because they selected their niche or their topic based on what they themselves were INTERESTED in rather than what people were LOOKING FOR.

If you want to make money with your e-book or other information product, then you must choose a niche that is loaded with buyers who are EMOTIONAL about their need, not “interested”.

EMOTIONAL.

If they’re not feeling a strong emotional drive to solve a problem or get their desire, then they won’t be motivated to BUY from you.

2) NARROW your niche—don’t “widen” your niche.

Another reason why most e-books and information products fail is because the author or creator wasn’t thinking like a CUSTOMER.

Customers don’t like to buy things that will fix all their problems.

They like to buy things that will fix their ONE BIG problem.

A woman who is 30 pounds overweight, who wants to get in shape for her wedding in three months…doesn’t want a book about “general health”.

NO WAY.

She wants a book called “The Bride’s Guide To Losing Weight: How To Lose 10-30 Pounds In Under 90 Days”.

Most of the time in life, it’s not wise to be “narrow-minded”. When you’re choosing your niche or creating a product, IT IS.

3) Create a high “perceived value” report or video and then GIVE IT AWAY.

As the Internet becomes more and more “noisy” and customers have more and more options…and therefore more and more confusion…

…it’s important to CUT THROUGH THAT NOISE.

The best way to do it?

Create something valuable, then GIVE IT AWAY.

Yes, I said give it away.

And don’t just give away any old information.

No. You’re going to want to create a report, video, teleclass, or other product and make it about your BEST STUFF.

Don’t save your “good stuff” for last. Give it away up front!

When your prospective customer comes to your website and gets something that’s very, VERY valuable from you for free, they will then say to themselves…

“If this is the stuff they’re giving away, then the product they’re selling must be GREAT.”

That’s why you give away your BEST stuff for free up front (and make sure you ask your prospective customers to opt-in to your e-mail list in order to get your free product).
