Donald John Trump, born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, the man who knows "a tiny leak can sink a ship" is a very influential media personality with his own TV show - "The Apprentice", currently a Presidential candidate and has married 3 times with 5 children. The Trump brand is a culmination of industries which include real estate, mortgages, entertainment, hospitality, restaurants, etc. The Real Estate billionaire synonymous for luxury living is renowned for having the most celebrated addresses in NYC and around the world. The Trump signature is seen through his sumptuous constructions including the Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Parc, Trump Tower, Trump plaza, The Trump World Tower, 610 Park Avenue, etc. Below are some of the interesting facts about Trump that one needs to know:

1. Bankruptcy - Donald Trump did not always eat from silver plates and had his share of misfortunes. In the year 1990, he almost went bankrupt and was left with almost $4 billion USD in debt. He had to give up 50% of the stakes of the renowned Taj Mahal Casino to the bondholders to grope out of the dire situation. It was a major hit and Trump never faced such threatening bankruptcy problems in his life; although, he did face several crises which were negligible to his position. Today, Trump stands as the CEO of the "Trump Organization" that owns over 100 companies.

2. Football - In the year 1983, Donald Trump owned the New Jersey Generals which was a franchise of the USFL (United States Football League). Although, the whole event had to come to a halt after three years (1983-1985) there is no denying that the team of Trump produced some of the skilled players of the game like Herschel Walker.

3. Wrestling hustles - The representative of Trump won over the representative of McMahon during the Wrestlemania-23 which hosted the fued titled "Battle of billionaires". Trump got the privilege to shave the head fo McMahon which was the bet agreed before the match. There was much controversy when Trump was said to have bought the infamous wrestling show "Raw" in the year 2009 from the owner Vince McMahon. However, there was official announcement that there was no such 'sale'.

4. Teetotaler - Donald Trump lives the life of a rich prince, but never got interested in taking alcohol. He is believed to be a teetotaler without much affection to booze, which should be an inspiration for those who drool in the mirth of this dangerous habit.

5. Board game - There is a board game on Trump and it is known as "Trump: The Game" and it was released in the year 1989, but it had to be discontinued as this game didn't became popular in terms of reviews and sales as well. The game is similar to monopoly but it couldn't receive the attention. However, it stands out as a record because no other Presidential candidate has a board game named after them.

Disregarding the controversies and extrovert nature of Donald Trump, his life is a lesson for everyone desiring to achieve unscalable heights through determination. The billions in his pockets show his determination as an individual and he will be an inspiration for many generations to come.

Jeep

Have you ever noticed that Jeep driver's wave at one and other when they pass? It's something most people don't understand. Surely they can't all know one and other! Well, there is such a thing as the 'Jeep Wave', and it is something that all Jeep drivers should be aware of. In fact, it is believed that this wave has been a tradition since around World War II. Read on to discover everything you need to know about it.

So, let's begin by taking a look at the history of the Jeep Wave. It is believed that during the military this wave came about as a way to salute high-ranking officers without exposing them. Many believe that soldiers who returned from the war then continued the wave on as a sign of respect. However, whether this story is the truth or not is still debated.

No matter the origins of the Jeep, the wave is essentially a sign of respect amongst drivers. However, it is a pretty big deal, and there is even a point system in place. If you are a new owner of a Jeep, you will need to be aware of whom you should be waving to and why. There is a pecking order, with drivers with more rugged, older Jeeps receiving more points. So, you can expect a ton of points if you have a vintage Jeep. If you have a newer Jeep, you will need to soup it up if you are to land some major points.

Not only will you find the points system on the web, but you will also note that there are rules that must be adhered to as well. This includes the fact that the tradition of the Jeep Wave must be upheld by all Jeepers. You are required to initiate the wave when you come into contact with a higher scoring Jeep. You must continue the wave until one of the following occurs - the higher scoring vehicle has passed you and is no longer in view, the wave is blatantly disregarded, or the wave is returned. The only scenario whereby you don't need to return the wave is if the vehicle has a score below 0.

However, if you come across a vehicle with a score below, you can still wave at them, and you are encouraged to do so. This is seen as an opportunity to mentor and guide the owner of the Jeep, in an attempt to help them correct the error of their ways. If you are not sure about the status of the Jeep passing you by, or you do not have time to figure it out, you should initiate the wave. It's better to be safe than sorry, and you do not want to run the risk of offending anyone.

How To Care and Clean Leather and Its Products

How To Care and Clean Leather and Its Products

Leather

By Dickson Adom

Leather has to be cared for to prolong their use. They must be cleaned regularly to free them of substances that can slow down their performance when used for the production of articles. Every type of leather has a special way of caring for it. For instance, Deerhide, Buckskin, and Elk leathers can be cleaned by washing them with mild soap and water. However, do not squeeze or wring it dry because it brings wrinkles in the leather.

Suedes are cleaned using a stiff bristle brush or fine sandpaper can be used to clean away dirt and most spotting on them. The suede is brushed vigorously until the dirt disappears. It is then wiped with a damp sponge. An art gum eraser can equally be used to remove dirt on suede. A commercial suede cleaner can be purchased and used to clean suede.

Smooth leather is cleaned with several commercial leather cleaners such as Saddle soaps, Omega Carnauba cream as well as leather conditioners can be used to clean smooth leather. Saddle soaps are applied with a wet sponge or brush worked into thick leather. It is then wiped off with a cloth and then polished to a soft luster. Examples of saddle soaps include Kiwi saddle soap, Belmont saddle soap, Propert saddle soap, Castile saddle soap and Blue Ribbon saddle soap.

Don't store leather garments in tightly sealed plastic bags. Leather garments should be stored in an area where there is both ample space and circulation of air. Plastic bags tend either to stick to leather or even discolour it. Also, do not spray commercial moth repellent sprays on leather since they contain chemicals that may discolour it.

All dye applicators used in water-soluble dyes can be rinsed clean in warm water. However, those used for oil and spirit solvent dyes can be rinsed clean with a mild alcohol solvent. After they have been rinsing cleaned, they should be washed with soap and warm water and then dried.

Leather items are affected by several factors and conditions. Most of these are environmental factors. If these factors and conditions are not controlled or curbed effectively, the leather articles cannot perform their functions well. It could even result in the spoilage of the leather items. Some of these factors are dirt, water, oil or grease, chemicals, and drying.

1. Dirt

This is the common factor that can affect virtually all leather items due to the fact that it is circulated with air. Therefore, leather product users should on a regular basis clean off the dust that finds their way on their leather items. A clean, damp cloth can be used to wipe off the dust from leather items. However, dirt in eyelets and closed up the corners of leather products can be blown away with a blower. Leather items on showcases displayed for sale should be covered with a transparent rubber to shield them from dust.

2. Water

Water can cause leather items to warp or shrink. It can render them very weak, dull and unattractive. All leather users should be very cautious of its effects. Water should be kept away or far from where leather items are stored or kept. If water mistakenly pours on a leather product it should be wiped out immediately and allowed to dry slowly at moderate temperature.

3. Oil/Grease

Oily substances though can be used to enhance the surface quality of leather items when they are applied well, they can also cause adverse effects when they find their way expectedly on finished leather products. They can soil or stain an aspect of the leather item. This certainly affects its general outlook.

4. Chemicals

Chemicals can cause drastic effects on leather items. They can eat off the top layers of the leather items. All chemicals, especially corrosives ones like acids must be kept away from all leather items.

5. Drying

Leather items should be dried slowly at moderate or room temperature. They should not be exposed to the harsh radiation of the sun. Exposure of leather items to the radiant heat of the sun can cause them to fade or pale. Continual exposure can cause the leather products to shrink in size.

There are some time-tested ways of taking care of leather. Some of these ways include storing, cleaning, conditioning and flattening.

1. Storing

Store the leather in airy places. Humid atmosphere or environment must be avoided. Crumpling of leather must also be avoided when storing a pack of it. They must be flattened. Already finished articles in leather must be stored with stuffings. The storage area must be free from excessive heat, which would definitely affect the leather. Before the artifacts are stored, they have to be dried thoroughly. Special fungicide compounds must be sprayed on the stored leather material to prevent molding.

2. Cleaning

Smooth leather must be cleaned by the use of neutral soap. The soap would help remove the soil at the surface of the leather. The surface dirt can also be cleaned by brushing or wiping with a damp cloth. Suede leather can be cleaned with a stiff brush or fine wire brush to remove dirt and restore the nap effect or texture.

3. Conditioning

Wet leather articles have to be dried slowly at moderate temperatures. In all conditions, excessive heat must be avoided. Solvents such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride or naphtha should be used with great care to remove soil or dirt spots. Dirty spots are stains or spots which do not yield to soap and water. They are cleaned by the use of solvents.

4. Flattening

Crumpled and rolled or folded leather need to be straightened and flattened. It is achieved by rolling the leather on the opposite side/surface while moistening the leather and placing it under a flat weight. It is then moistened and rubbed with a flat tool. Finally, it is moistened and toggled to achieve flatness.

Popular Procedures for Lung Cancer Treatment

Lung-Cancer

Lung Cancer is the most fatal and responsible for the most number of deaths among all cancers. But thankfully, it is not beyond treatment, especially in its earlier stages. The best type of Lung Cancer Treatment depends on the stage and nature of the cancer. Appropriateness of the recommended treatment depends on the expertise of the Lung Cancer Specialist and goes a long way into ensuring a successful recovery. This article provides an overview of the most popular methods of treating Lung Cancer and the common side-effects associated with them.






Surgery

Surgery is the most common way of treating Lung Cancer. It involves removal of the tumor along with the affected part of the lung. Though this is a popular step, its feasibility largely depends on the stage of the cancer. Surgery is preferably not opted for, if the cancer has spread to other places. The types of surgery for Lung Cancer are determined by the size of the lung tissue which requires to get removed.
The procedure is termed Wedge Resection when only a small part of the lung has to be removed. Lobectomy or Bilobectomy is the removal of an entire lobe of the lung. In extreme cases, the entire lung may be required to be removed, in which case, it is called Pneumonectomy. Both Thoracotomy (large incision) and VATS or Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (small incision) can be used for Lung Cancer Surgery. The side-effects include complications due to surgery and pain.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation Therapy is used in 3 cases. It is used to shrink the tumor before surgery, kill the remaining cancer cells that may be left after surgery, or as the primary method of Cancer Treatment. Radiation Therapy, as the primary treatment, is mostly used when the cancer has spread too far for surgery to be feasible. The radiations can be administered either from outside the body or from right within the tumor.
Radiation Therapy is however a complicated process with a host of side-effects, like skin reactions, sore throat, nausea, pain, tiredness, etc. Reaction to Radio Therapy is usually quite fast but managing the side-effects is the task of an expert.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy, just like Radiation Therapy, attempts to destroy the cancerous cells. However, in this case, special drugs are used in place of radiation. The drugs are administered through tablets or intravenous lines. Chemotherapy has a huge risk of killing the healthy cells too leading to side effects like appetite loss, hair loss, fatigue, and more. Chemotherapy is being replaced with targeted therapy which is more accurate in attacking the cancerous cells.

Complementary Therapies

Many patients are going for complementary therapies to accompany their regular treatment regime. Techniques like meditation, Yoga, Therapeutic Touch, Ayurved, etc. have shown to lessen the effects of side effects and provide relief. However, it is highly recommended to consult your Lung Specialist on the same.

Consultation

Lung Cancer, being fatal, can take a lot of toll on the mental health of the patient and his near and dear ones. The Top Lung Cancer Treatment Centers have facilities for consultation on the same in their own premises or tie ups with those that provide the same.

The above are the some of the most popular methods that are being used to treat cancer. As further study on the matter brings newer facts to light, we are hopefully moving towards a world where Lung Cancer can kill no more. Till that times, ensure good health for your lungs with regular visits to a Lung Specialist.

Respiratory & Sleep Cure Solutions is a well-known center for Lung Specialist in Gurgaon Delhi. The team of Doctors is led by Dr. Himanshu Garg, a leading Asthma Specialist, and has successfully treated a wide range of Lung Diseases.

Why Do You Need to Choose Mobile Websites Over Mobile Apps?

Why Do You Need to Choose Mobile Websites Over Mobile Apps?

By Unknown   21:42   Tidak ada komentar:

By Gunjan Singh 

In the world leading to technologies, there are many mobile users over the desktop and it is important for the organizations to knock the door of mobile platforms. However, the biggest concern is to decide whether to make a mobile website or to launch a mobile app. The decision completely depends on upon the nature of business and purpose to choose one of them or perhaps both.

To make a rational decision, you are required to understand the meaning of both at first. Mobile websites are similar to any other website which consist browser-based HTML pages linked together and accessed over the internet (for mobile Wi-Fi or 3G or 4G connections).

Mobile websites also display content, information, graphics and data like other standard websites. They have added features like click to call and location-based mapping.

On the other hand, mobile apps are the actual applications which are required to download and install on your mobile to use them. The users have to go through the mobile apps store to download the app where the downloading may fetch data and information from the internet.

The mobile websites are considered better due to some additional benefits. These are the following advantages to opt for websites:



Availability: The sites are available instantly as you enter the URL in the browser while applications take time and data to download and install first.

Compatibility: A website is the best way to reach all the users. Whether they are using android or IOS or window, WWW is for the whole world. Apps are limited to the different operating systems.

Upgradability: When the owner of the site updates any changes, the users can enjoy the updated version with an ease while, updating an app is a hectic task for users.

Sharing: The sharing of a URL is convenient while sharing an app requires another specific app. Instead, sharing a link on any social media platform is one click task.

Time and Money: The mobile website development is considerably better money and time saver than development of an application, particularly if you need to make a presence on various platforms.

Further steps: Launching an application on the stores is not enough to make a presence on platforms. It requires compatibility issues, ongoing development, upgrades and testing which is more expensive than launching an app.


Applications are only considerable for interactive games, regular usage or personalization and moreover when it doesn't require internet connection for usage.

Ten Things Highly Successful Women Would Have Done Differently In High School

Ten Things Highly Successful Women Would Have Done Differently In High School

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

About a year ago, I read an article written by someone who was giving advice to her younger self. I found it interesting, as I am always interested in learning from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. I am very focused on success for young women in high school and I thought it might be interesting to find out what some of the most successful women would have done differently in high school. High school really is the springboard to future success and I am forever and always a proponent of hard work and high achievement.

I devised a questionnaire and asked 60 highly successful women what advice they would give to current high school girls yearning for great successes in their lives, as well. My list of successful women included those that had reached the pinnacle of success in their respective fields, such as a Supreme Court Justice, several Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, Law and Medical Professors at the most elite colleges in the country, a University President, a Governor, several Senators, a championship winning athlete, an Academy Award winning actress and a Pulitzer Prize winning author. Although it took me about a year to contact and compile my responses from these women, I was pleasantly surprised at their willingness to communicate their experiences and advice with me. It was also interesting that many of these women shared similar responses. In my prior research studies, high school girls who successfully embraced this advice ended up at the most elite colleges in the country. There may not be a scientific correlation at this time, but it is an interesting outcome, nonetheless. I have published this in my other articles, which I encourage you to read.

The following are the top ten things these highly successful women would have done differently in high school and some advice they shared, ranked in order of the most responses:

1. Never Let Go Of Your Dreams And Dream Big
 Your dreams become your inspiration to work harder and set goals for high achievement. These women related they purposely picked goals that were difficult to achieve, such as making partner in a prestigious law firm or becoming a tenured professor by the age of 35, becoming a Supreme Court Justice and running for the office of Governor and winning. Just because a state has never elected a female Governor before doesn't mean it can't happen. If you believe in yourself, you can make it happen. If you focus, work hard enough and stay away from the distractions in high school, anything is possible. Many of the women interviewed told me that high school, retrospectively, is a little part of a bigger picture and they focused on the long term, not the short term. They advised to stay away from the drama and negative peer pressure in high school and just follow your own unique path.

2. Learn To Say "No"-
Don't pretend to be something you are not; be yourself. You are not out to please the world and you shouldn't do anything you are not comfortable doing. "No" is a very powerful word and the respondents alluded it will serve you well in the future if you learn this now. They also commented is it better to excel in a few areas than to spread yourself so thin you can't excel at anything. They also reiterated that parents are usually right, so listen to them and don't discount their advice and opinions because experience does matter.

3. Success And Money Really Are A Result Of Hard Work, Grit & Determination 
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there really is no free ride or luck that takes you to the top. It is all about hard work, determination and dedication. These women kept themselves focused on the end result and worked longer hours and networked more than their peers. They were willing to take risks, work harder and pursue higher levels of education. An interesting point was all these women sacrificed something today for a greater return tomorrow. The respondents related their exceptionalism and their drive to keep achieving as drivers of their success.

4. Stay Away From People Who Tell You That You Can't.
The overwhelming advice on this point was not to let others judge you. It doesn't matter what others think about you, it's what you think of yourself that makes all the difference. It is this strong sense of self that will point you in the direction and the choices you will eventually have to make to determine your future endeavors. Keeping toxic people out of your life allows you to succeed and focus on accomplishing your goals. They also advised not to give up on something you are passionate about. Many told me they regretted quitting playing the piano or another musical instrument and cannot afford the time to learn it today. Time is precious and they advised sticking to a hobby or passion, as it will enrich your life at a later time.

5. Grudges Will Never Take You Anywhere, Let Them Go.
It is important to understand that everyone has an opinion or belief that may differ from yours and should be the basis for discussion and learning, not resentment and avoidance. The capacity to forgive has produced great leaders, such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, who recognized that by forgiving people that hold you back, that have managed to hurt you, and forgiving yourself for the people whom you have hurt, you alleviate the toxicity that steals your energy, ambition and self-confidence. Essentially, it diminishes your leadership ability. Learn from the past and embrace the future.

6. Take Care Of Yourself Now. 
Studies keep coming out that show what we do when are younger may have dire consequences on us when we age. Now is the time to develop healthy lifestyle changes. Exercising and eating healthy, along with the determination not to smoke, take drugs or abuse alcohol, are all imperative for leading a longer, happier and more successful life. Get at least seven hours of sleep a night and try to avoid the drive through. The respondents said these bad habits will show up in your 30's and 40's and prevention is the key.

7. Be Curious And Take Risks.
"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water", is a famous quote by Rabindranath Tagore. Every reaction requires an action. You'll never achieve your goals if you don't take a chance. With every decision comes risk, but you only need to win more than not. The fact is you are not even in the game without taking the risk of stepping in. Take the road less traveled- these respondents said it made all the difference in their lives.

8. Failure Is Inevitable, But It Can Make You Stronger.
One thing these women had in common is they were rejected from something they intensely wanted at least one time. Each one took it as a sign to work even harder and that's what they attribute to their great success. Every one of your failures is laying out a path for your eventual success. Michael Jordan, who is regarded as the greatest basketball player in history, was cut from his varsity team numerous times and said, "I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." How do you really know what a success is if you have not experienced a failure? These women advised embracing the failure and working harder to get an even better outcome.

9. Study, Study and Study.
Get off the video games and reality television and put the time into improving your grades. With all the social media out there, it is hard to not let it invade your life, but you must. The difference between a valedictorian and a salutatorian can typically come down to one grade in high school. Colleges love to boast about the number of valedictorians and often provide greater scholarships and admissions. Students who work hard and achieve in high school learn to develop high expectations and demand stellar outcomes from themselves, which, in turn, become life-long traits. As Socrates said so eloquently, "Wisdom begins in Wonder", so start contemplating and studying.

10. Get Into The College You Really Want To Attend.
According to Vanderbilt economics and law professor Joni Hersch, who has researched and published on this subject, students who attend low-tier undergraduate institutions seldom transition to top-tier graduate schools. Even more daunting is those who do, rarely achieve the earnings power of peers who attended elite colleges. Women have it much tougher- A lower tier college graduate who attended a higher tier law school, as an example, earns only about 60 percent of the salary of a lawyer with a bachelor's degree from an elite level college. Christopher Avery, a professor of public policy at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, has published and researched college as a mode of social mobility. Students who earn a degree from an elite college, even those with unremarkable grades and test scores, are handily too far ahead of those who don't, which is why they will never catch up. The networks, resources and teaching at the elite schools typically cannot be rivaled by other colleges and set the path for success into motion. The most elite recruiters go to the most elite colleges. Recruiters often like to select candidates from the elite colleges they attended. The take away here is work hard and get into the best college you can. It will make a difference, according to the respondents and the research.

This was an interesting and thought provoking project for me personally. As a high school sophomore with two high achieving sisters currently attending elite colleges, I have seen firsthand how the right choices in high school can impact options for future success. I hope this list helps guide you to a life filled with opportunity.

Have you ever wondered what advice some the most successful women in this country would give to current high school girls? I did and I spent over a year contacting women who have reached the pinnacle of achievement in their respective fields and created a questionnaire to get some pearls of wisdom. As a high school sophomore highly focused on education and success, I compiled a top ten list of things these women would do differently in high school, if given the opportunity. Hopefully, it will put you on a path of success, as well!

5 Common Mistakes in Your Home Business Web Design To Avoid

5 Common Mistakes in Your Home Business Web Design To Avoid

By Unknown   21:01   Tidak ada komentar:

By Amy Austin 

While every Web site design should reflect the unique qualities of the business itself, there are some universal rules of professional design that every business owner should follow. You don't want to lose a potential customer or client due to a simple mistake.

1) Don't Be Too Flashy

Flash animation certainly has its place in the Web site world - but it's typically not on the home page of your business site. Customers arrive at your Web site expecting to find helpful information about the products and services that interest them - not a slowly unfolding display of digital animation. Use flash wisely - and sparingly - in your professional Web design. I recommend not using flash at all; especially if you are using SEO. Discuss the pros and cons with your design team.

2) Don't Strain the Eye

Keeping Web site design simple can literally save you - and your customers - from headaches. Use a tried-and-true font style, such as Arial, that's sans-serif and proven to be readable. Background is another area of concern for professional Web design. Using busy patterned backgrounds or placing colored type against a black background may cause users to get frustrated and leave your site.

3) Don't Make it Difficult

Use of navigation in designing your web site is like using GPS on a road trip. Use it wisely to guide visitors to the desired destination - and they will enjoy themselves along the way. Resist the urge to get too creative with this aspect of your web page - a clean navigation panel is a user's best resource. Don't lose your customers interest in a flood of flashy pictures and spinning click here buttons.

4) Don't Waste Time

When your Web site design is full of graphics and images, it requires a greater amount of bandwidth. This increased bandwidth takes longer for the user to download. Keep in mind that some people use older computers. In the time it takes for your Web site design to load, your customer may very well decide it's not worth the wait. Only use the graphics and images that are absolutely necessary for your web site and save the rest for your portfolio.

5) Don't Overdo It

Too much or a cluttered Web site design overwhelms your site's visitors and can make your business appear unprofessional. A disorganized site tends to reflect poorly on the very business it is supposed to promote, while a professional Web design speaks volumes about your attention to detail. Keep it simple and clean.

A good website design needs to not only turn customers' heads, but also keeps them interested. Follow the simple guidelines of a business Web design and you'll see the beauty in a more positive visitor experience.

Create a Professional Web Design for Your Home Page

There's no place like home in professional Web design - the homepage, that is.

When you create a website homepage, keep in mind that first impressions truly are everything. You only have a few seconds to capture their attention. More than any other page on your site, your homepage's design should help your visitors answer several key questions about your business.

Bringing visitors to your homepage is only half the battle. In order to be effective, your homepage must also encourage visitors to stick around and take action. Whether you create a website yourself or work with a professional Web design company, there are several steps you can take to make your homepage a sticky success.

Add a Logo Design

Little things can make a big difference in professional website, and that is certainly the case with adding a logo to your homepage. A professional company can work with you to create a customized logo design that strengthens your brand identity and boosts customer confidence. This logo should also be produced in several file formats for images --.JPG,.EPS, and .TIF -- so you can use your new logo in the website or in print marketing materials.

Explain Who You Are

You'll need to tell visitors about yourself - and do it fast. Building rapport and relationship is a key part of attraction marketing for your business. As soon as a visitor arrives at your homepage, the clock is ticking. If your page does not point them directly to the information they want, they may lose interest in your company. One popular way to accomplish this -- add an "About Us" page to your website.

Reduce Scrolling

Here, web site layout takes its cue from print design. Just like a newspaper's major headlines should be above the fold, your professional Web design should place your most pertinent information above the point where a visitor must start scrolling to view. The more scrolling required by your Web design, the less likely your visitor is to stay.

Test for Compatibility

When you create a website homepage, remember that not all browsers and devices were created equal. Keeping your design simple can help you capture the largest possible audience across the board. To be sure, though, you'll need to test your website from multiple devices and browsers.

Update Regularly

Once your web site is completed, you may be tempted to leave it that way for quite some time. A website, just like a business is always changing and growing. In order for your site to keep visitors and search engines coming back for more, it must be updated regularly. You want to keep building your contact data base with new information and subscriptions.

Promote Recognition and Testimonials

When done in moderation, the homepage can be a good place to display small graphics representing rewards and recognition you've received from your clients and industry peers. By adding these graphics when you create a website homepage, you can strengthen your professionalism by showing visitors that you are a legitimate business worthy of their time.

With so much depending on your homepage, it's important to get it right. When you're ready to create a website yourself or work with a professional, remember these simple suggestions for a professional and effective site that encourages visitors to stick around.
