Since our son has a peanut and soy allergy, I was trying to find the ingredients of Post’s Honeycomb cereal. Shouldn’t be that big of deal, after a quick search I found this page: http://cereals.com/cereals/post_honeycomb/, and that’s where the fun began.
What is it?
We were asked to review the site of a business that had grown in many directions over the years. The website as well as the business had developed Severe Dissociative Identity Disorder.

We were recently asked to look at a website of a furniture store. The site was very attractive, but it wasn’t generating any interest for the owner. We took a look at it and found a few things that concerned us.
Websites need to be more than pretty
Are you a web site owner looking to discover how to increase your website traffic? Maybe you are a potential website owner researching what it takes to build a successful, reputable, well put together website? Maybe you have already spent a lot of money on a website, which receives lots of page impressions due to constant traffic and paid for trafficking help. Yet you have made little to no sales? Or maybe no actual site activity? What could be the problem? Well the problem could “simply” be down to the actual page design of the website itself. What makes a website design user friendly?

Keep your website on target
When one is preparing to build their website it is important to have the website geared towards only one subject. Not only will this help keep things appropriate for the reader, but it will help them not to be confused on what your website is about. Generating page views and an audience is important when it comes to the website that is being presented. Often more then not, websites tend to be cluttered with more the one topic making it difficult for readers to stay interested and focused on the website.
