June 2010 Newsletter

Summer is coming around the corner and everyone is thinking of beaches, family trips and golf. (At least the guys in our office are thinking golf).

While spending time online I often come across an issue that affects web sites of all shapes and sizes – good copy. Spalling, punctuation! and grammarical errors are common mistakes. Okay, so I did this to make a point but just think about it for a moment. How can a customer expect a quality product or service from a company that doesn’t manage to produce a decent website?

With SiteCM you take control of your web site and make it shine the way you want. No excuses and no waiting on others. When someone visits your website, make the first impression a good one. Try these ideas on for size.

• Spell stuff right 
• Grammar is important 
• Get to the point 
• Titles should entice 
• Be informative 
• Think bullets 
• Think lists 
• A picture still tells a thousand words 
• White space. Love it!
