PostHeaderIcon Can you only preview an animated gif in a web browser or web design software?

It doesnt open right in word or in the windows viewer. is there something wrong with the file or is this typical of gifs?

Right now in browsers only, Dream Weaver cs4 has live view so you can see it in action inside the web editor. Few companies offer it. If you have graphic design software like fireworks or imageready then you can hit play and watch it.

Word is not a web editor, use notepad.

PostHeaderIcon What is the best Web Design software for a small business?

i want to create a web site for my dads electrical business and i need to know what is the very best software out there today.

The very best web design authoring tool is "Composer" via the Netscape browser. It’s simple and intuitive. Forsake Front Page via Internet Explorer since it creates more needless codes than necessary.

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl] and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the "Description" which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one’s goods and services.

And the very last category – "Keywords" are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. "Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.

Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query "pizza downtown los angeles." It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where "Pizza Next Door" is ranked. It’s in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door’s high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo’s publication guidelines.

Good luck!

In many cases web sites are created to an amateur level, done quickly by cutting corners to get to your money fast. Even sites that look visually good are very often coded badly for the search engines. So, if you get a low quotation, beware! As in any purchases you choose to make, you will get what you pay for!
