The other day, a prospect calls me, frustrated with his current website design company. He explained he has been with them for a long time and has yet to really receive any business. I asked him if he has an online store for his products? He said he did. I asked if the store is functioning? He said it is. I took a moment to look at his website. The design wasn't to bad, could use some minor updates but thats all. My next question was what are you doing to market your on-line business? His response, NOTHING.

Website vendors see the same thing over and over again. One of the recurring themes we experience is projects where the wrong person is assigned the task of building the website or, in worse cases, put over the entire internet initiative. The individual has usually demonstrated some capability or knowledge of technical or artistic things that the leadership interprets as qualifications for managing the web side of things for the business. But, in most cases, that individual lacks even the basics of running a website and comes armed with a host of misunderstandings. Sometimes, the individual has done a great job at explaining that they are not technologically savvy, but they have been given the website as an "administrative" task. Either way, the business has set itself up for failure forcing the vendor they have chosen to spend time and budget dealing with the dynamics of such a mistake.

I have never been a big fan of open source platforms to support my clients on. However, when you talk with an open source fan chances are they will tell you that software developed using the open source model is the best way to go. I often wonder if this fan is an actual software developer recommending that, because if they are not the person using this type of platform for their website may be in for a huge surprise.

The Search Engines are not stupid. Irrelevant keywords are not going to help your search engine rankings. Nor is the practice of showing one page view to website visitors and another to the search engines going to help you. In fact you may find yourself banned.
