Creating a Rotating Header Image For your Artisteer Joomla Template

I have seen a lot of different tricks out there for this, but most of them require lots of hacking and code modifying. The average user without a lot of code knowledge might have tons of trouble or errors. In this tutorial, I'll show you a way to do it, that will not require a lot of code steps or skills to achieve the desired effects.

Internet Marketing is like picking fruit

Internet Marketing is a scary term.  What do you do???

We have been receiving so much information on the subject, we decided to put together a plan on how to do it based on the current technologies and how internet users can be reached.  Our research shows that the processes are not complicated but they are very time consuming.   But on the other hand the results are quite exciting.

The biggest thing that needs to be done is to research, then analyze and finally plan your approach.  The urge is to jump right into the process and "blast" the world with information.  But there are so many portals to consider.  Analysis is important to making the right decision on where to spend your marketing dollar.  The research part of the plan does something else, it helps you focus on your marketing direction and that takes that "forest feeling" out of the equation.  Research enables you to see the fruit bearing trees.  Shaking a spruce tree to get apples to fall doesn't work. Neither does advertising  or putting information in front of someone who is not interested won't get new clients.

So, don't be scared of Internet Marketing rather plan and prepare.  The fruit is there for the picking.

Technology as we see it

I saw an article on the news  about blogging and making money.  What a great idea!  It was quite interesting to see how people are writing and other people reading and then going to other sites they saw listed on the blog site.  Because of the visit to other sites posted on the web site, the blogger is making money and advertiser is making money and everyone has a great experience.

The idea is not new but the ways to do it are a lot easier with new technologies.  Best part is that it appears that this form of technology meets the need of a lot of people.

So you want to have a Blog  and make some money on  the side, well with a little help from my friends at KMH Kreations you can be blogging soon.  It is actually a lot of fun...

  

Flash For Froyo!

In an interview with the New York Times, Google's Vice President Andy Rubin tells the world that Adobe's Flash will be supported on the Android Operating System 2.2 or Froyo (Frozen Yogurt) as it is usually referred to.

When asked about Apple's decision to not allow flash development for the iPhone, Andy compares Apple to North Korea, due to the removal of choice. "When they can’t have something, people do care. Look at the way politics work. I just don’t want to live in North Korea."

I have a website, why do I need to update it?

This is probably one of the toughest subjects for a customer to understand. 

We typically ask the question, "Do you know the difference between a "Static" and a "Dynamic" website?"  To explain we then ask if once you buy or build a website do you think you are done, well if so, then what you want and have is a "Static" site.  Nothing changes on it! 

A "Static" site may be okay to store information but if you want people to come visit your site again and again and learn about you and your company, and then buy or at least associate with you it needs to constantly change and that is definition of a "Dynamic" site. 

Website are much like clothing, styles change and that influences what cutomers and clients think of you and how they feel you will take care of them.   Your webmaster needs to be always looking for new and improved ways to tell your story and help you to promote your business. 

The bottomline is if you are getting all the business you expect from your website?  GREAT, but  if not then it is time to consider an update to increase your contact visits and business prospects.

Why Have a Website?

When I talk with clients about their website desires. The reasons or actual needs that are explained are always very interesting and a bit confusing. There tends to be a want and desire but little true direction on what shape or form the web site should have.

The true heart of what we find to answer the why are:

1. Grow a business by expanding the customer base through the use of the web
2. Reach various current or new target audiences, knowing that more and more people use the web to find the business services they want or need
3. Find new and more efficient ways to communicate with existing and future customers
4. To keep up with the times and show you are a savey business that understands your clients needs
5. Bottom line, the client's customers expects to see a web presence

To understand the why of the client, we perform a survey with our clients. Our activities always need to center on the clients web needs and what business activities they wish to have that involve the web. Our approach to this is we do an interview with the principle parties of the business. We have a survey that we have developed over time that helps us understand and actually provides the client through their own thoughts and concerns the direction they want the project to follow.

We do not follow a cookie cutter approach, rather KMH Kreations tailors their efforts to the Customers true sense of why and we answer the how of the equations with an intergated plan that achieves the planned objective.

In conclusion, KMH Kreations thinks dynamically about your why, then acts progressively to find the best path to the objective and all the while is being creative.
