DESCRIPTION
Small business owners struggle to keep up with how to market their small business website. Resource, time and most important how much budget a small business needs to be successful Online is often overlooked. How much time should you dedicate to managing your website is a question often asked by the small business owner, and the answer is really - how aggressive do you want to be - how much money do you want to make? You do need to give your website attention on a regular basis. Whilst larger brands have dedicated staff, the SME has to deliver on its products and services and drive the website, and do many other tasks to keep their business afloat and meet with customers needs. OnlineXcellence is about helping the Small Business Owner to drive their website and show the web author/manager what to do if their website is to be successful and win races. The slide presentation delivered to the Business 50 Club in Scotland gives an insight on what you have to do on a regular basis to grow your business online.TRANSCRIPT

HUMMINGBIRD TELL ME AGAIN!
Think of a Car, built in the 1950sIt Might Have a Great Engine
But the Engine might lack things like Fuel Injection or unable to use unleaded Fuel.
Google has dropped the OLD ENGINE Out of the Car And Put in a New One.
Google DRAMATICALLY last updated its Algorithm 2001
THIS IS A BRAND NEW ENGINE withsome OLD PARTS like – Panda & Penguin

Information ArchitectureSearch vs Usability
The According to the Website Standards Association
It will take only ten seconds for a visitor to decide if he/she intends to continue viewing the Website. Wang and Huang argue that it could take as little as fifty milliseconds for a visitor to decide if a Website will satisfy their particular need. Both authors agree that if the visitor does decide to leave the Website based on a bad first impression, the chances are very high that the visitor will in all probability will never return, confirming the importance of Website usability.
