We provide great web tools to make it easy to sell your product or provide your service, manage your information over the net, and establish a compelling web presence.

Here's what we can do for you:

 
Welcome, Gun Show Exhibitors!

We spoke briefly of developing a web presence - here's a summary (and the key page):

  • KEY FEATURES: NO recurring maintenance costs - you run it yourself - and you can add as many photos for one item as you want - critically important for antiques, curios, collectibles, high-priced items, and used items of all sorts;
  • Check for the availablity of acceptable website names: please use 1and1, as they're quite inexpensive, their setup is easy, and I get referral points; then choose their "Microsoft Home" package (not Linux) for compatibility with our system;
  • Purchase our website system (details buy), provide us with initial company information, send us your hosting information and we will install and configure your site;
  • Take your photos, load them onto your new site, describe your products, and you're up and running! (build a lightbox;   use a photo editor to clean them up, then use our easy built-in system or a file transfer program)
  • You say you do Ebay only? Consider also having a site of your own to lend credibility to your auctions and to provide for secondary sales (without Ebay fees). Five bucks a month is cheap, and an email address with your own "dot-com" beats a Hotmail account any day! We can help...
  • New: Show-And-Tell Site system in-the-works!
Good to have met you!

Book Review:
Don't Make Me Think,
by Steve Krug
Indiapolis: Que, 2000 $35

Subtitled "A Common Sense Approach to Web Useability", this book is one of the finest combinations of communications truth and 'how-to' advice I've ever seen.

Steve Krug is a web usability expert, meaning that he analyzes web pages and (for thousands of dollars) tells you what to do to make them easier for folks to use. Here, he gives the reader much of his repertoire, giving us the tools we need to improve our sites.

Mr. Krug's emphasis is to examine how people actually use the web (as opposed to how designers think they do), and to assist the reader in designing to match. Completing the book is a great section on usability testing, where one tests one's website in front of real people... and finds real roadblocks!

Highly recommended, and well worth the cost.
