Whoohoo!
Ladies and gentlemen, faans and fen, I invite you to Google
PROmote Communications. Use whatever capitalization (or lack thereof) that you care to.
Yes, that's me in the #1 spot! Go ahead and click away.
The first time I did it today, I was #1 of about 51,500,000 hits, with the search taking 0.46 seconds. Now I'm #1 of 27,900,000 hits, in a search taking 0.15 seconds. The ways of Google are mysterious, but I'm delighted they've found my website and bounced me into the prime position within a week of it being launched.
It's something I've needed to do for 10 years and more. Thanks to help, support, and useful pokes from
benveniste,
debgeisler,
benyalow, and
Mr. Improbable himself, I've started at long last.
The site is currently barebones, utterly so. I expect to develop it into a site with significantly more depth (with a navigation bar, subpages, and portfolio examples you can actually see) in the weeks and months ahead.
( More of the 4-part harmony )Comments, suggestions, and pointers welcome. I especially like Jeanne Gomoll's portfolio pages for
Union Street Design. They're much more interesting to look at than the way I see most other graphic designers structure their online portfolios.
What do you like to see in a business website? And what sorts of things do you find annoying? I'm thinking content as well as navigation ease.
