Web Site Tips



Hi - I'm netJane.
You can think of me as your personal Web designer, code slinger, and page developer -- all rolled into one. You can add a completely customized page to your Web site with netJane. Just go to your Owner's Page where you'll discover that netJane is a rich Web application that will help you create new Web pages without having to even spell HTML. You can even make money using netJane's CashButtons!!
But, right here I'll give you some tips and tricks to get you going with your E-Store/Web site.

META Tags
Your Web site gives you the power to include "META" information. META tags, though never seen when you view the page, are used by search engines to catalog and index your Web site. You can include up to 75 characters: a short descriptive phrase about the content of a page. You should not use complete sentences. To learn how to add META tags to your Web site, go to Marketing & Promotion.

DNS: A Personalized Web Address
A popular question is: "How do I get my Web site to be "www.yourname.com." With a Web site, getting a personalized Web address is really simple. Just sign up and you're ready to go. Unfortunately, getting the personalized Web address you want might not be possible, especially if you want to call your site something like "Bobby.com" or worse, "finance.com." Virtually every word in the dictionary is already owned by someone, so you might have to get creative with what you call your site.

A couple of rules of thumb:
  1. Keep it as short and simple as you can. Acronymns aren't a bad idea, if you can get the one you want. You might want to avoid something like, "getabrandnewcarrealcheaptoday.com".

  2. You can use a phrase connected by dashes (-), like: "bigred-carz.com."






Discussion Groups
Discussion groups are a great way to get your customers talking. It gives them an opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions, or communicate with each other. Your Web site allows you to create as many different groups as you want!


Links Page
Create a page of links to anywhere on the Web! Links are great. It's a chance for you to bring your customers and your industry closer together, or to just point people to your favorite places.


Photo Scrapbooks
It's easy to upload images from your computer to your Web site to create a scrapbook! Use scrapbooks as a place to put images that you want to display for your visitors, or as a place to store images you want to use later.


Stock Art Libraries
The Web site comes fully loaded with lots of great images for you to use. Choose from different libraries of background images, icons, and pictures of people and places.


Site Appearance
You can choose from an infinite number of color and style combinations. Start by uploading your company's logo to display it on your Web site's Home page. You can choose either button or text navigation, set a background color and background image, and choose from a variety of typefaces.

Have fun and come visit your Owner's Page.
