| Good point what is the use of a web site. Well to be honest it is whatever you want it to be. A place to blow your own trumpet, nothing wrong with that , advertise your services and we all know how much that can be in print, allow you contact details e.g. your name, address, phone number email address etc to be readily available to anyone in the world. Having said that make sure the information on your website is only what you want in the public domain. |
| This is up to you, having done a few of these sites it seem all the above is appropriate to the club members. having decided the reason for having a site its down to the design. Normally there is a home page to tell all out there who you are, and how long you have been breeding cats, and any achievements its also a good thing to tell the viewer your address and phone number and email address if you are going to include this on your site. The next thing to do is get the low tech pen and paper out, think of your site like a catalogue set into chapters. each page will be this chapter so you can have, studs, queens, kittens or just our cats, our kittens, about us. its up to you. Next Photographs these obviously should be good quality if you are taking them yourself if they are professionally taken then permission must be sought (usually no problem but may require to credit photographer) , we can only put about 25 on this site due to space but if you see bells and whistles page you can have 50 photos you can upload yourself and change on a regular basis. |
| Now that you have a website its as much use as a chocolate tea cup. If
you can imagine creating a wonderful document/catalogue then sticking it in the draw that
is what we have just done because no one will know to look for it and the search engines
wont know its there either the next stage is to create tags that search engine spiders can
see these are called META tags example below asian cat, Burmese cat, Burmese, cat, aca. ACA, Asian, Patron, Patron, TIFFANIES, tiffanies, British, kittens, breeder, breading, cat shows, kitten shows, Ilfracombe, Devon, UK, BRITAIN, ENGLAND, So you will need to send me what you want the search engines to see each word seperated by a , Then I will submit to the search engines now this may take months to get you around the top of google or ask jeeves. one of the best things belonging to an association is that your breed name is normally on all the sites making your site much more attractive to the search engines |
