Usability. Boring but crucial, it’s about making your website easy and intuitive to use. Users shouldn’t need to learn how to use your site. Put stuff where people expect it.

Your Web Site Should Not Need a Manual
PHP versus Perl comparison
We recommend writing web scripts in PHP, not CGI / Perl. PHP is much better suited to the Web and takes less “overhead,” meaning that scripts will run faster and the server will be able to handle more simultaneous users on your site. Here’s Why…

The Invisible Edge
521,000 people were searching across the entire Internet last week for the 21,200 products you sell, and that since 99.3% of them did not know that you sold those items, they did not visit your site. And this cost you, $5 million in missed sales opportunities. Oops!

Speak the Customers Language
I decided to go on a virtual field trip through the corporate sites of the biggest companies in New Zealand. I’m amazed I stayed awake. You’d think by now corporates would have realised their online visitors don’t want to read marketing-speak, testaments to the brand, letters from the chief executive or assorted press releases.

Cabela’s Corporate Outfitter
This is a subsite of Cabelas.com. Netconcepts was commisioned to create a site that was both useable and search engine friendly. With a database of thousands of products, the h1, page title and meta tags are generated dynamically.This helps significantly with increasing visibility and page rank in search engines like google. A database driven website traditionally has long urls with stop characters like “?” which prevent the site from being spidered. A simple naming system for each product page has avoided this enabling the entire site to be spidered with short urls also being friendly to bookmarking.
Netconcepts also provides the branded subsites of Corporate outfitters like Stihl Corporate Outfitters and www.dunns.com.

Designer Exposure
This site is unusual for an ecommerce site in that every product is a one off. The client updates the site by adding images and descriptions through an administration interface, and with stock being added daily the process needed to be easy to use. The client uploads a large image for each product which is automatically sized into large medium and thumbnails.
This site still performs well in search engines considering it has thousands of products changing daily. Makes good use of Netconcepts’ gravityMail email marketing software which comes as part of our ecommerce solution.

Contagious Communications
Ever wondered how late entrant Google overtook its entrenched competitors to become the most popular search engine on the planet? Or how a small upstart called Hotmail became the leader in web-based email and was then purchased by Microsoft for a cool $US400 million?
