Top 5 Tips for Great Website Content

0

typing on Mac Wireless keyword

1. Write relevant content

It may be tempting to write the latest news about what is going on for example the recent election in the United States but if the content doesn’t relate to your site, it is highly recommended that you just leave it out.

This is because your web visitors/followers who always come to your site for the certain niche might turn away when they see some irrelevant content on your website.

2. Write your key points & highlight them in each paragraph

Each paragraph needs to be concise and makes sense to every key point.

The majority of your visitors do not spend their time reading every single word on your website.

Chances are high that they just scan through while looking for the key points.

Thus having short paragraphs definitely gives you better advantage than writing a lengthy one.

3. Action words (Call to Action)

Instruct your readers what to do and when to act. Do not use passive tone; be direct!

4. Use lists instead of paragraphs if you can

Lists make your content short and simple. They can highlight your key points better than paragraphs do.

5. Proofread your content

When your content has too many unchecked spellings and grammatical mistakes, readers will start to have doubt on the quality of your content.

5 Reasons Why A Good Website Can Greatly Help Your Business

5 Reasons Why A Good Website Can Greatly Help Your Business

1. Creating a Credible Image

If you own a good quality website you can start building your online reputation and credibility through it. For instance, a well designed website can provide a better experience for visitors as they tend to associate this with your business.

 

2. Making It Easy for Customers

Your potential customers may want to gather more information about your business / products and sometimes they may not want to contact you through telephone. Without an effective website with easy-to-find information, customers can get very frustrated.  In case they are comparing you with your competitors, they may go elsewhere since they can’t find complete information on your site.

 

3. Getting Found by Everyone

Your website is like a 24/7 operating shop for your products and services, where potential customers can come by at any time of the day. If you have a good website, good SEO and quality content, it’s extremely easy for new customers to find you on the Internet.

 

4. Publishing News and Interact with Customers

A good website provides good interaction with its customers. On a basic level, it can be something as simple as getting them to send you a message or feedback via a form. Better still, you can actually integrate a blog or forum into your website to start some interactions and communications with your customers.

 

5. Expand Your Reach

With the help of the Internet, your business is now GLOBAL. A website can help you to expand into new areas by either promoting a new product or service, or by simply exposing your business far beyond your local geographical areas or current marketing reach.

Exabytes Halloween Celebration 2012

0

Date: 30 October 2012
Venue: Exabytes Penang Office

When the pumpkins are out, horror masks are everywhere and candies are sold in bulk, what does it mean? Thaaaat’s right, it could only mean one thing – Halloween time!

How was Halloween for all of you? Well one thing for sure, it sure was a BLAST here in Exabytes! 😀

The day started with a bang! Everybody came extra early that very day, just to put on their scary make up and outfits in the toilet before the official working hours started and became “ghosts” for a day! Those naughty ones who got ready early would stand behind doors and start scaring other colleagues when they entered the office! 😀

 

BOO! Heeehehe. We’re telling you, their expressions were priceless! 😛

Once the working hours started, all of us ghosts would go back to our stations and continued with our usual work routine. Once in a while, some naughty ones would go under the desks to disturb us or tap us on our shoulders and scare us with their props just to keep the Halloween spirit going in the office!


That’s why every now and then you’d hear some of the colleagues going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH and the naughty ones would be laughing and slapping high fives with each other! 😛

And then it was lunch time. Believe it or not, all of us, clad in horrifying outfits and gory makeup, actually went out in a group to hunt for blood food! 😛

It was really fun to see the horror look on the people’s faces when they walked past us at our usual makan place at the famous Bayan Lepas Market! Some “brave” ones would even approach us to have pictures taken with us! It was really cool; we felt like ghost-celebrities for a day! 😛

And then, to make the day even more interesting, we even went to the nearby Sunshine Mall to buy groceries and spread the Halloween spirit there! 😀

Once the lunch time is over, we returned to our office and continued working like usual. And then, as soon as the clock stroke 5pm, we were called to the common area for a little feast. There were so many food to choose from; pizza, kapitan chicken, naan roti as well as candies and snacks! We were stuffed!

And then, it was the time we were waiting for – the announcement of the best dressed ghosts for the day! 😀 The Grand Prize Winner would walk away with an iPad Mini and 4 other lucky winners would win themselves RM100 cash each!

And.. The Most Creative Outfits go to.. Vickson and Clement!

The Scariest Ghosts go to… Miko and Ah Keat!

The Most Halloween-Feel Costume goes to… Sharon!

And the winner, that walked away with an iPad Mini goes to… Rachel!

Congratulations to all winners! All in all, it was a day definitely to remember! We had a lot of fun after months of hard work and dedication in our jobs. Here’s to many more years of success, here’s to Exabytes! GO EXABEES!
