Have you ever wondered if people looked at your whole website? If you have important things to say, or even just mind-blowing jokes or pictures that you believe everyone should see, making your readers scroll could be the kiss of death for your site. Even if it isn't all that dramatic, it is still a nuisance that many people just don't want to deal with when cruising the Internet.  

You already know that aspect ratio is something to think about when designing. Fortunately, our friends at Google might have helped everyone, as usual. They have proposed a solution for everyone from Arizona web design companies to people just trying to get their cat's personal webpage up and running. It is called Google Browser Size, and its task is to let you know just how much of your site people are seeing. 

If you have ever tried to take on the daunting task of creating your own website, you probably know by now that web design is not easy. Sure, some people who are computer-literate can figure out how to turn a basic template into a decent website, but chances are that no one will remember it (perhaps until they see it on another site minutes later…ordinary is not a good thing to be remembered for.) Truly effective web design is rare and requires skill. Not only does the page have to look pretty, but it has to work for the average user.

You have probably heard the phrase "content is king." It's true that having a lot of content on your site can help you gain popularity when it comes to page rankings on search engines. However, quality counts just as much as quantity. In fact, Internet readers would rather read good content a few times per week than boring or incorrect content everyday.

In my position as a copywriter at an Arizona web design firm, I sometimes find clients who do not fully understand the importance of unique, quality content on their new site. Fortunately, most business owners do know the reasons behind the need for such content, or I wouldn't have a job. But for those who are still unsure whether they should write their own content or have very little on their website, here are the top three reasons to boast the best content you can find.

Microsoft recently re-launched its search engine. It was previously called Windows Live Search, but it is now Bing. It comes with new branding, new name, and new features, thanks to a rumored $80-100 million in marketing money. Marketing strategies include using Bing as a default search engine for Internet browsers on Dell and HP computers.

YouTube has for several years been the uncontested champion in online video content, but as everything changes on the Internet at a fast pace, so have the recent contenders to YouTube's dominance over the online video market. The primary challenger is Hulu, the place to go to stream premium content, such as new television shows from many major networks.

Last week’s blog touched on social media websites, so you already know what such sites can do for your business. Let’s say you have decided to join Twitter in order to network among both your potential clients and your competitors. Now what? How best do you reach your intended audience, and what do you say to them when you do? Consider the following reasons to send a tweet from your company:

The marketing landscape is constantly changing, and over the past few years a large migration of advertising dollars has begun to flow into the online markets in a variety of ways. Two of the biggest places this online advertising power has gone are in streaming online television and advertising through social networks. Social networks have been gaining steam steadily for the past several years, and the dollar value of these sites as companies has been steadily increasing along with their active user count.
