Website Designs – Past, Present and Future

The period when website designs had originated does not lie far behind in terms of age, but when we speak of advancement, today’s web designs have left its predecessors far back in terms of complexity, user friendly features and appearance. Today websites have become a major means of communication and marketing of almost all official and non-official organizations and general public.

The past
In 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal about some software and database for a more elaborate, convenient system of managing information which later became the World Wide Web. In 1991, he developed the first web page which contained information about W3. This web page had some hyperlinks which directed to another page with more elaborate information. The web pages were written using HTML markup language in plain text. That was the beginning after which the development procedure has never looked back.

World Wide Web Consortium was formed in 1994 which controls standards for programming and markup languages for websites. Earlier versions of HTML enabled only text formatting and later versions started adding up pictures and then introduced tables. From 1996, till 2000, the web layout devices, Scripting languages and Flash animations were introduced: these applications gradually changed the whole appearance of the websites.

The present
In past, the main purpose for website designs was simply a part of increasing business or mere sharing information. Older appearance and function of websites reflect more emphasis on providing company details which left hardly any scope for viewers to express opinion. Now the designers have realized that the only way of popularizing websites is to make them more interactive. Presently this is a basic aspect for designing websites.

The emergence of latest versions of Adobe Flash player and other advanced multimedia tools have changed the appearance of websites drastically. The Adobe Shockwave, CSS designs and now 3D designing tools are incorporating audio visual effects and advanced graphics to orient the contents in order to increase traffic in websites.

The future
The modern website designs are at the top of those technologies which are under rapid change leading to a future age of internet revolution. The recent trend of making websites more user friendly and interactive has become the driving force for developing tools and techniques to innovate improved features for similar purpose. Latest success stories of YouTube, LinkedIn, FaceBook, Twitter etc. are sharing the same experience. These websites are expanding everyday by accumulating and updating user delivered contents. The concept of social networking websites which feature options to participate and share views, live interaction among users are showing the path for future development of websites.

Hence viewer generated content will be the key of future software designs. They are expected to appear more user friendly, interactive which will ultimately increase traffic flow and improve trading of the company.

Brilliant One Minute Presentation

I’ve heard numerous times about the need to have a 1 minute presentation ready to go at all times. But no one ever broke down what to say and how to say it for me. I’m sure people all around the world have been banging their heads against the wall trying to figure out what to say to peak a prospects interest, I know I have. The problem is, many networkers are spewing out way too much information. We must remember the golden rule… Keep it simple! For instance, do we really need to go telling our prospect all about our organic, vegan products, or our state of the art telephony system? No! We don’t… They don’t need to know that stuff yet, if they join you in your business, all that stuff can be shared in training. Do they need to know all about our compensation plan… No, they haven’t even started yet, and must Network Marketers don’t understand theirs that well anyway.

There are only three basic questions in our prospects’ head that we need to answer in our presentation:

1. What kind of business are you in?

2. How much money can I make?

3. What do I have to do to earn that money?

So, here’s an example for lets say… someone in the health and wellness industry:

“Hey Bob, I can give you a complete presentation but it would take an entire minute.”

“When could you set aside a whole minute?”

Naturally most people will say now here, because we are not trying to drag them to our opportunity meeting or show them our 20 minute DVD.

So after we get a “right now”, we say:

“Don’t change – continue to promote and recommend as you always do.” Like talking about the great restaurant you visited, or the new pillow you just bought.

“We are in the Health and Wellness business – we have a product that has me feeling like I’m 19 years old again. All you have to do is recommend our product to 15 people helping them feel younger and more energetic, and help one person a month get started doing the same, and you’ll earn $100 per month” (or whatever is consistent with your comp plan).

STOP and close with one simple line:

“What do you think?” or “And that’s it!” or “And the rest is up to you!” Something simple like that.

At that point, if you aren’t already getting questions, change the subject to something totally unrelated. Something about them.

Watch the magic happen…

Fine Present For Moms

Giving gifts is a way of expressing the importance of a person to us. It is also a means by which we wanted to be remembered. Generally, they can be material or non-materials things.

Let us have a more specific example here. The gifts for moms, as a good example, we have the mommy necklaces.

What made mommy necklaces different and special?

Mommy necklaces are one of a kind type of jewelry. Aside from the fact that they are made especially for mothers, mommy necklaces are available in many different classes and all are designed and adorned to carry sentimental value.

Mothers are the most sensitive in most family set ups. They are appreciative of gifts especially those that captures their heart. Not that they are choosy or whatsoever, but for moms that are very dedicated in taking care of their family deserves extraordinary gifts indeed. So if you are looking for gifts for your mom, nothing compares to mommy necklaces. They are appropriate for different occasions and what more is that they enhance the beauty and femininity of your mom.

Most mommy necklaces are handcrafted personalized jewelry. Handcrafted personalized jewelry is not only fashionable but also delivers a very clear message, which is love. They are fine gifts to show gratitude and appreciation to mothers. Unlike any other material gifts, mommy necklaces that are handcrafted and personalized are more exceptional since they are made for a specific intention.

Thoughtfulness is what counts in giving gifts. It does not necessarily require an occasion to give presents. Sometimes, it even weighs more to give presents with reasons that are just petty yet meaningful.

For daughters and sons, giving your mom a handcrafted personalized necklace will bring her back to that time that you are still fragile. But now you are getting older and making the effort to say thank you and I love you in such a special way. It is heart warming to see your mother wearing the handcrafted personalized jewelry adorned with either different crystals or charms. It can be in made from gold, silver, or diamond or any other.

Some of the mommy necklaces are the Triple Charm necklaces that can be hand inscribed with names and or significant dates. The Triple Charm is specifically suitable for a family with one child. It can bear the name of the father, the mother and the child all at the same time. This is exceptionally fine keepsake. They can be passed on to different family generations since it is wrapped with so much memories and value.

If you are to dedicate it solely to your mom, Gold Heart Pendant necklaces will surely do. Or, the All Name Pendant Necklace, which bore the name of your mom in gold. These designs emphasize the importance of your mom since they their styles are made to convey the appreciation you embedded on it.

Let your mom feel the joys of your gratitude towards her. It is very important to keep the bond tight and maintain a high-spirited family.
