Use Heatmaps to Gauge Your

Site's Effectiveness
Is your website working as well as you thought it would?
Do you think your site might be due for a design change?

When considering a change to your website design and layout,

you should first focus on what exactly you want people to do on
the site, and then choose a design that matches the goal. Of
course, the layout should also adhere to website design best
practices for usability, but the place to start is the most important
activity you want your visitors to do.

Tech Tips & Tools
 To complement your QR code software and to test out
any barcodes you create with it, install the i-nigma
barcode reader app on your iPhone or Android phone.
I've tested a few barcode reader apps on both platforms
and this is one of the better ones available right now, and
it's free.

 Is your website really down or is there a problem with

your computer or internet provider?
www.DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com will save you the
embarrassment of calling and yelling at your web host in
a panic when your website is working fine.

 Free "Web 2.0" badge and icon creator. This site lets you
create colorful badges in the style of "Web 2.0". You can
use these as attention getters for your site. I think we are
on the tail end of this trend, so I thought I'd post this now
before it's too late :)
