A website should reflect the objective of your business. Today that goal has become lost in a world where the Internet is full of flashy movies and catchy names. A website should offer your visitors an experience that makes them want to come back over and over, not necessarily because your product is unique, but because you offer simplicity and ease of use that they cannot find elsewhere.
Don’t get me wrong, a flashy website with lots of animation and effects looks amazing, however it is easy to distract potential customers from the main objective of your website. The end goal is to have a site that establishes who you are, what you are providing to them, and do all of that while providing them with a well-designed, easy to navigate, user friendly interface.
These are just a few ideas to think about before you launch a new website.

The web hosting industry is becoming more competitive than ever. There is both high demand and high supply for this essential service, yet is the cost beneficial to either party? More and more hosts are competing to provide the most bandwidth, disk space, features, and support. We still stand strong that cost should not be the sole determining factor when it comes to webs hosting. You need a company that you know you can trust with your website, especially when that website is your business’s lifeline. Reliability and support are among the most important factors when thinking about finding a quality web host for your website.
Bandwidth, disk space, and features are always the next best determination for a web host, but usually these are overlooked by those seeking the cheapest web hosting available. Having a good blend of all aspects make for a reliable and supportive host that can serve your website to all your customers. Don’t get caught up in having every feature under the sun only to never use them and there’s no need for tons of bandwidth if your site is still in its infancy. Start small and let your hosting needs grow with your site, this will not only save you money, but will give you time to get to know who you’re working with.
Getting to know your host, how they support the services they provide, and how they can accommodate your website as it grows will make your experience all the better.

As it may be obvious, we just finished the redesign and restructuring of Fingertech. To promote our services, obviously being the Internet-based business we are, we are relying heavily on the Internet and specifically search engines like Google. After about a week of waiting to be reindexed, our site has yet to be recrawled or reindexed. Of course, this presents a problem, as they have the old version of our site cached, which doesn’t have nearly the content of our new site.
So, to try to overcome the monster known as Google, we have subscribed to a number of Google services if it wasn’t apparent from viewing our homepage. One of their services, Google Sitemaps, is supposed to be designed to allow easier submission of your website to their Bot. Another feature within the Sitemaps program, is the ability to remove your website, specific urls, the site in the cache, etc from their index. Being as our site has been completely redesigned, we thought it would be beneficial to request that our website be removed from the cache so that old, expired content isn’t being directed towards potential visitors. However, after requesting that our site be removed, we were presented with a spectacular “DENIED” from Google to remove our highly outdated website from their cache.
So, I suppose the discussion on this post is whether Google necessarily uses any user, subscriber, visitor, customer, or any other person’s input in making their decisions whether to index a website or not.
