Once you have found the desired domain name you have to get it registered, there are a number of companies that offer the registration of domains so how do you decide which to use? The first thing you should look for is their reputation, you would hate to deal with a dishonest company that doesn’t offer the customer service you deserve. In order to find a reliable company you can ask for recommendations from friends and family or other webmasters to see who they use. The next factor you should look at is the price, don’t be fooled for the cheapest companies out there. Just because they can offer a cheap service doesn’t mean that it’s the best choice, check for renewal prices and any other disadvantages you may be faced with so that you can be confident you are receiving the best deal.

When you have your domain name the next step is to choose hosting, you cannot afford to rush this decision as it will determine the results of your website. Put the time and effort in to check which hosts are reliable and offer great customer service. Never accept anything below 99.99% up time as you will be loosing money every time your website goes down. You then have to spend the time in order to get it back up and running as intended, loosing even more money. Browse through each of the different hosting companies, checking the additional features, benefits and mainly the price in order to get the best deal based on your requirements.

You can find various companies such as name cheap, triple and go daddy who can be the solution to all your problems. You can register your domains with them and buy hosting at the same time, this takes a lot of the hassle out of the equation as everything is in the one place. There are some advantages to doing this, you can often get a reduced price if you buy them both together. It will give you more time to focusing on your website and if you ever have a problem you only have to contact the one company. Ensure that you check out the hosting package before you buy it to make sure that it has the features you require.

With the benefits it does have it’s disadvantages, depending on the company the hosting may not be the best option out there and you can often get various coupon codes to make things cheaper and by shopping around you can always save a great deal of money.

One of the services I offer my customers is to install scripts and help maintain their web sites.

What I find the first time I access their web site can only be describes as horrific!!

No file organization, no naming conventions, copies of files and redundant files everywhere.

It is important to maintain your web site in an organized and orderly fashion so that the ability to link your files together becomes a lot easier and efficient.

As a web visitor to a web site like http://www.easywebresources.com you won’t notice all of the files that make up the web site but as owner and administrator I know exactly how the files are organized. There are dozens of files that make up that web site and I have seen some web sites that can have hundreds and even thousands of web pages, files and download documents so without some sort of organization you would be lost.

The first thing to do is to setup a web site structure in a logical way so you can find types of documents/files easily.

For example, most web sites contain some sort of images/graphics files that are used for headers or pictures so these types of files should be stored in a folder called (strangely enough) images.

Most good web hosting companies will provide you with a folder called cgi-bin. This folder generally is used for server side cgi scripts that add functionality to your web site. Things like guest book scripts, visitor counters etc. These scripts would be installed in the cgi-bin folder.

If you store documents on your web server then you might create a documents folder and store your online documents in there. If you write articles then you might have an articles folder as well.

So now we have the following folders -

images
cgi-bin
documents
articles

Of course these folders could have subfolders so you might have subfolders in your articles folder relating to each category you might write about e.g articles/health and artcles/computers etc.

You will also find that there are ‘system’ folder located with the folders you create. These system folders should be left alone because, as their name implies, they are used by your web server for system functions like storing your incoming email etc. If you are not sure of a particular folder the safer to leave it alone or ask your web host support.

Now when you access your web site using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Program like WSFTP or SmartFTP, you will find it normally puts you ‘sitting’ just under the web root of your web site.

You can tell that by the folders you can see when you first log in. Generally you will see some sorts of mail folders (they will have mail in their names) and perhaps a log folder – these are examples of the ‘system’ folders I mentioned before.

This area under the web root is NOT accessible from the web so your web visitors would never see any of the files or folders that are located in here. It is a good place to store password files and other documents you wish to keep secure from the web.

There will also be a folder that is accessible from the web and it will be called something like ‘xxxxxxxx-www’ (where xxxxxxxx is your web site user name normally) or it could be called something like ‘public_html’. If you are unsure then ask your web host support.

This public or web accessible folder is where you create your home pages and other web pages, files, articles and documents that you want web visitors to be able to access or that you want to create links to in your web pages.

So you FTP to your web site, click on the public folder to open it up and start creating your folder structure in there. As I mentioned earlier, if you are using a decent web hosting company, you should already see a cgi-bin folder there as a bare minimum.

I hope I have managed to stress the importance of keeping your web site organized and explained, at least a little, how your web site should be structured.

Be a better photographer; learn framing, take a good picture and boost your sales. A good product portrayed in a bad picture looses user attention and sales.

Here are the Tips & Tricks to take a better picture:

1. Select your Digital Camera.

Digital Cameras with at least 5.0 Mega Pixels will be a good partner for you to picture your products. Although now Mobile Cameras can also produce a good looking picture, it is advised to take pictures in Digital Cameras to produce more sharpen picture.

2. Shooting Your Craft’s Picture.

• Use plain or very less attractive background.
• Avoid using flash for Glassy products.
• Shoot in outdoors for Glassy products. (Morning and Evening Light is preferable)
• Try different set of pictures using both flash and daylight for all other craft products.
• Frame your picture; please avoid more spaces all around the four corners of the picture.
• Get closer for the detailed works in craft and frame it properly.
• Please avoid out of focused pictures
• Make sure that the pictures are taken in JPG

3. Resizing the Picture

• There are many free tools and software available to resize the picture.
• Make sure that you are not loosing the quality of the picture while resizing.

• An online website to resize the pictures http://www.drpic.com/

• Microsoft Windows XP Image Resizer
• http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/eschelman2.mspx

• Free Image Resize Software: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/

• Before going with any commercial software, I would suggest you to try a demo of the software and then purchase it.

4. Before Uploading the picture

• Use the files which are lesser in size and in good quality for both thumbnail and detailed picture.

• Use both close-up and wide shots in the detailed pictures.

• Make sure that the size of the detailed picture is less in sizes. Pictures more than 2MB takes more time to get downloaded to view.
• Place watermark of your Website if possible (Make sure that your watermark doesn’t interfere with the use of the object)

Have a great day!
