Every day it becomes less of a chore to begin a website. Should you consider doing so?

If any of the following describes you:

Owner of a business,

You are planning to start a business,

Employee,

Are a hobbyist,

Or have strong opinions about anything

If any of these describe you, a website would benefit you.

Business owners: this should be obvious. With more and more people online every day, you are walking away from sales if you do not have an internet presence.

You are setting up a business: do it correctly and include a website as part of your overall strategy right from the beginning.

You work for someone else. As an employee, you should be aware of the two different kinds of websites that might be helpful to you.

First, begin a personal website dedicated to whatever field you are working in. Do it today. Do not consider any type of site other than a blog.

Secondly, if you work for a firm of any size, you can begin a website that covers something about that company. It might be the history of the company, or how to repair the item sold by the company. It should without saying that this is a personal project, and you work on it in your spare time. However, you will eventually let your supervisor or manager know about the site. This will set you apart from almost everyone else in your level of the company.

Hobbyists: if you are excited about the hobby which engages your time, a website is the perfect way to tell others about what you are doing.

Social commentator: if you feel strongly for or against some topic, a website can help spread the word far and wide.

Color is one amongst the most powerful elements. It has got qualities that are remarkably expressive. It is quite important to understand the uses of a color.’Color’ is a general term that applies to all objects-white, black, violet, blue, green, yellow, orange and red and to all of its combinations.

Hue is the correct word to apply to refer to just the pure spectrum colors. Any given color can be expressed in terms of its value and hue. In addition, the various physical phenomena and psychological effects combine to affect our perceptions of a color.

Value is the relative lightness or darkness of a color. It is an essential tool for the designer or artist, in the way that it defines form and creates spatial illusions. Contrast of value isolates objects in space, while gradation of value suggests mass and contour of a contiguous surface.

Hue is the term for the pure spectrum colors commonly referred as red, orange, yellow, blue, green violet which appear in the hue circle or rainbow. In theory all hues can be mixed from three basic hues, known as primaries. When pigment primaries are all mixed together, the speculative result is black. Therefore pigment mixture is at times referred to as subtractive mixture.

The primary colors consist of three hues from which we can theoretically mix all other hues. There are two commonly used definitions of primary colors: Painters Primaries consist of red, blue and yellow, Printers Primaries consist of magenta, cyan and yellow, and Light Primaries consist of red, blue and green.

Complements are the colors that stand contrary to one another on a hue circle. When a complement is mixed with another complement in the paint, the resultant tone de-saturates or dulls the hues. These opposite pairs can even be traced with respect to their relative coolness and warmth. The cool-warm contrast of the hue can cause an image to appear to recede or advance. For instance, in a 15th century painting, warm reds of the doublet of a man and the cap of his son reinforce the placement cues in order to make the figures to appear very close. On the contrary, the cool variants of the sky and the sea suggest a great distance.

Some of the effects of color occur only in the eye and brain of the viewer, and are not physical properties of light waves or pigment. These illusions, however, are very dominant, and have enormous impact on our responses to color.

When tiny particles of various colors are mixed, optical mixture occurs; this kind of combination differs from the pigment mixture based on the light primaries. Optical mixture, however, vary from a light mixture where the primaries will combine to white, and from the pigment combination the primaries combine to black.

Optical mixture can be felt when designing the textiles. It can also be experienced in natural objects, printed color pictures and in color television.

If you are building an online shop, you will need to address the question of taking payments for orders. You can, of course, request that a check payment be sent to you in the mail. Most shopping basket software allows you to select this option when you are setting it up. If you already have an offline, bricks and mortar business, you may simply wish to accept credit card payments over the phone.

However, there are some basic problems with these solutions and it all comes down to the way people shop on the internet. Customers expect to be able to add items to their basket and proceed to the checkout to pay. If they then find they must telephone you or print out and send their order, they may simply abandon their order and hop over to another website. Shopping online is all about convenience and if you are unable to provide this, you may be losing customers without even being aware of it.

So, what are your options and what is it all going to cost? Well, the good news is you can do it all very simply and cheaply. Paypal does not have a set-up charge and is a large and trusted online payment processor servicing 78 million accounts worldwide in 56 countries. Your only cost is a small percentage on each sale; a transaction charge. Payments from your website go straight into your Paypal account from where you can transfer amounts to your bank account with the click of a button.

Once you sign up with a payment processor, you can either link to their secure server from your shopping basket facility or build ‘add to basket’ buttons via a simple web query form. The html generated is then pasted next to items on your web page and your customers will be transferred to a secure server when they go to checkout.

Traditional merchant accounts are normally set up through your own bank and will become integral to your business account. Having your own merchant account gives you the choice of many different online payment gateways. Most, however, do charge a set-up fee, monthly fee and transaction charge. Just as you would offline, do make sure you research any company you sign up with on the internet. Print out and read their terms and conditions. Take particular notice of where they are operating from, their fees, when and how you will receive your money into your account.

Another point to consider is the question of chargebacks. This happens when a buyer requests a refund of an amount already paid to you. Reasons include not receiving goods ordered or items arriving faulty, damaged or not as described. Sometimes requests are made if the buyers card was used fraudulently.

If the chargeback request is successful, your merchant payment processor will charge you a processing fee. However, some companies will now provide you with insurance against chargebacks inclusive in your monthly fee. It’s certainly worth shopping around for the right solution for you but knowing you have done your research will give you some peace of mind.

If you’ve decided to go ahead and start your website, when should you do it?

The best way to answer this question: right now! Here’s why.

First, you won’t actually begin benefiting owning your site until it is launched. The benefits can mean more revenue, and also many result in reduced costs to address customer service problems. One use of a business website is to show customers how to use your products right on the website itself, saving your staff from dealing with these issues on the phone.

Secondly, aged domain names have a tendency to rank higher in Google searches than younger domains. So the older your domain, the better advantage you have in web searches.

Third, you can start promoting your site once it is launched. You will want to start your promotional efforts right away because they really add up over time.

Fourth, the sooner you get your website up and running, the sooner you can start “catching up” with your competitors.

Fifth, if most of your competitors do not have a website, starting a website today puts you that far ahead of the competition. People often think it’s too difficult to start their own site, so they put it off. Or they have heard horror stories about how much it costs to have a professional designer do it or how hard it is to get changes made.

Sixth, having a website will make prospects and existing customers feel better about doing business with you.

Seventh, having a website can give you increased “points of contact” with prospects. This is important because it often takes about seven contacts with you before a prospect is ready to make a buying decision. Those points of contact can be in person, by phone, by postal mail, or via the internet. If you have helpful articles or tools on your site, you can speed the process along dramatically.
