Once upon a time, I wrote a short article for my web development business discussing the ins and outs of getting started planning your website. It’s not an extensive article, and doesn’t go into great depth on any particular points.
I’m considering just forwarding all my new clients on to Create Small Business Website On a Small Budget from Improve the Web instead, now. Yuri’s written an excellent and comprehensive beginner’s guide to pre-development web preparations.
There can be no question that the first steps on a website should be done long before anybody does anything so rash as to register a domain name. Yuri’s done a great job of touching on a lot of these bases.
Oh, and he also recommended me as a web designer with accessibility in mind, which I very much appreciate – although it just might bias me in favor of his article.
From Nadir Garouche, an extensive introduction to the world of Mobile search. Sounds like he intends to follow up with so more gems on mobile SEO, so this will be well worth keeping track of.
Thomas McMahon, from TopRank Online Marketing and Blogger Design has created a handy little plugin for installing your Feedburner Standard Stats.
As Thomas comments, the only downside to Feedburner’s statistics are that they just weren’t as easy to install as they should have been – so he remedied the problem.
Very cool.
Feedburner’s Standard Stats, free for Feedburner publishers, are a very nice basic statistics package. Easy navigation, nice graphical representations of your visitors and clickthroughs – all the information you need to know to do some basic monitoring of your blog’s success. Well worth checking out – and now a little bit easier.
