Not all guidelines will be the same, so you will need to do your homework and read guidelines for all blogs that you intend to submit your writing to. Generally, 90% of all guest blogs submitted will be rejected.

If you do not have a plan it is likely that your site, instead of reaching the goal it was created for, will get lost somewhere in the world of new technologies and flashy gadgets. It is easy to get caught up in all the latest developments, but the most important part of website design is to remember the purpose of your site and who it is made for. Firstly, create a statement defining the purpose of the site and the goal you need to achieve by creating it.

Google Places is the Google-style review website where business owners can list their businesses for free and people can rate their experience with the business in any way they want. Google emphasizes the idea that raters are real users that have been previously checked to match a Gmail account from their database. So, it’s not easy to fake reviews. Of course, competition might sneak a bad review from time to time, but most reviews that I’ve read so far are appreciative or moderately appreciative. Google Places has incorporated an internal search engine for users to look for recommendations, usually in their area or in the area where they plan to travel. What is great about this review & recommendation website is that it is globally spread; a user can check a restaurant in Germany, then a barber shop in London and then look for a coffee shop in the US. Each business listing should include: Business Name Business Address Several Photos It is highly important to add the physical address so that Google can show Map indications to the business location. It is also important to add the correct and complete address so Google can take the listing into [...]

Remember that your website is the online identity of your company. The first impression that people would get from visiting your website would also be the same impression that they would have of your company. The more appealing your website is, or the easier it is for them to use, the better chance you have of converting these guests into customers. Good corporate website design is all about avoiding customer pain points. Stay away from irritants like music (unless you’re in that business), Java pop-ups and redirects to other pages. If you need to have any of these for some unfathomable reason, make sure there’s an option to turn it off. To create that good website design, you, as a webmaster should be able to communicate effectively with your web development team. There are different options for you to communicate with your team like through online tools like instant messaging or through emails. In your site design, go for simplicity.

Don’t have your visitors jump thru hoops to get what they’re searching for. Have an ‘easy to navigate’ [...]
Organization is a most important key to running a smooth and profitable business! Without a system you have chaos which will result in certain failure. Organization requires a system. Not everyone is going to do things exactly the same, so you need to figure out what works best for you and stick with it! For example: Every business should have an employee list. Some may prefer them to be listed alphabetically and others may prefer them to be listed according to title. I would recommend making a list for both ways. This way, you have both options and depending on what you are needing, you have them both at your access when trying to find information. Make sure that all of the information on these databases match and be sure that whenever you are creating new files, the information always coincides! So, in saying this, here are a few simple steps to organization. Step one, be sure that you have spreadsheets set up in an orderly fashion. Donʼt just list names or jobs as they come to mind or as they are hired or assigned. Have a system and stick to it. Secondly, be sure to keep lists current and be sure the information matches all the files! [...]
