• Web page size Most people can now see 800 by 600 pixels on their monitors, they can print pages better is they are designed in the smaller 640 x 480 pixels.

• Keep pages small if a page is longer that a scroll and a half, divide it into two pages.
  
• Nice photos and images use attractive and up-to-date photos to attract the client. Make sure name each photo with a description of what it is. Search engines like that and would give you a better score, making your site more popular.

Regular marketing

• A good rule is to use in all your marketing efforts your web site. Every sign, business card, letter, document, e-mail and any other possibilities need to have your web site.
  
• All your marketing materials need to carry the same look, format even font. Whit the amount of advertisement we get bombarded each day we become more unlikely to pay attention to advertising. It is estimated that you have to see an ad up to 13 times before you pay attention to it. The more pieces you have that look similar the more likely your client will notice. If your business cards, letterhead, web site, signs and any other marketing materials don't look similar, each of them becomes an independent effort. Pick one and stay with it.
  
• Your web site should be one of the most important items in all of your advertising, marketing materials and signage. People are more likely to remember your web site is it's easy to remember than your phone number.
