@haastyle Good points! Color does matter a lot more on a website than it does on a pair of running shoes. However, I'm sure there are many fashionistas that might disagree.
@ecommerce web developers The old adage of "you get what you pay for is usually true." I generally agree with you, but I think that it's important to really understand the goals before dismissing a cheap option.
Great summary of links. It's great to see the trend towards legitimate, quality interactions having the real value. I'm glad to see the days of focusing on pure volume to game the system are coming to an end.
Nice Article Ben! How does picking a CMS relate to selecting a web development partner? In other words, assuming that a company is going to hire a web developer, what is your recommendation on when and how to pick a CMS?
One of my favorite song lyrics goes “You've gotta stand right up for something Or you're gonna fall....for anything” John Cooney never fell for anything because that he stood for so much. He used his ability to consume tons of information and meticulously form his position. Then he only voiced his opinion when it really mattered and in a way that was both open-minded and respectful of others opinions. He stood for all that was good. I’m grateful for having got to walk on this earth with him and miss him greatly.
Fresh blog posts...yummy
@barrettoms @crestodina What the heck?
@crestodina A taxidermy joke, wow!
Is it ever OK to put services (or products) in the homepage navigation? What would be a situation that makes it ok? A large number of services?
You are right, Jeff! When I read the opening, I was skeptical that I'd agree with your premise. But, you won me over because retail is definitely in need of an overhaul. Consumers need to demand a higher level of customer service and be willing to put value on that service.
It's refreshing to put the emphasis on the most important people in a network. The easy, popular approach seems to cast a wide net and build big numbers of friends, likes, connections, and follows.
Great points. While reading this, it made me think of the companies that decide an RFP is the best approach. TEhy send an RFP to a bunch of companies under the assumption that casting a broader net will select the best vendor. In my experience, this is NOT the way to find the best vendor (or the best solution). I like that RFPs force you to write down requirements, but that's about it.
Hey Andy...taking your advice and calling you with good feedback on this article!
Good rules to live by for blogging. Seems like we could apply these rules to many business activities like meetings and emails. All would be more effective if they were actionable, based in facts, and on topics that got us fired up!
Chef Barrett- I'm well aware of your website prowess, but I'm amazed at your knowledge of wedding cakes. I'd add that at times we get emotional and treat both like they are the absolute most important decision that will ever be made. It's important to keep them both in perspective and in context of the big picture. Nice job on this article!
Great advice! Taking her own advice and being humble, Mary Fran failed to mention her own food blog that incorporates her own advice. Check it out at www.frannycakes.com
