Lin-Hua Chinese Paintings
www.lhchinesepaintings.com
This site demonstrates the possibilities of e-commerce. It utilizes key technology and provides all the functionality and design aspects necessary to sell products. The site offers strong search engine optimization. The web content is clear and understandable to anyone who wants to find great Chinese art at a reasonable price. It is easy to find just the right painting and quickly complete the transaction. Many sophisticated (but transparent) features, such as ASP.Net MVC and jQuery, are included, adding significantly to the quality of the shopping experience. The site is database driven and the shopping cart integrates with a PayPal account. Through the E-mail Club, visitors can be alerted to new site content and this encourages them to return more often.
Career Management Resources
www.careerempowering.com
This website is the ultimate informational site. It offers the complete text of two books published by the owners, totaling more than 500 pages in their paperback form. These books, along with numerous articles, are completely searchable by key words. The site offers a friendly print capability for the book section that strips out all unnecessary items such as images, navigation, or advertising, leaving only the pertinent content. It is easy to share the content through such sites as Facebook and MySpace, as well as create Favorites. When visitors are interested in purchasing one of the many recommended books, they are immediately taken to Amazon through an affiliation link.
The site is built with a clean, valid (X)HTML and maintains appropriate Web standards, with the principle of progressive enhancement. It is more easily found and more easily used.
Websites with a fairly high volume of visits can generate additional revenue through Google AdSense. By going to the Resources section of Careerempowering.com, which contains the entire contents of two books as well as many articles, you can see the ads placed by Google AdSense. Each time a visitor clicks on an ad, money goes into your pocket. Timothy Wu will help you determine if your site is appropriate for Google AdSense, and will handle all aspects of dealing with Google.
Roman J. Lee
www.usvisaatty.com/
This website offers the most up-to-date technology, providing users with a great experience through the application of HTML 5, Java Script, CSS3, and progressive enhancement, as well all of the recognized web standards. These technologies also help increase your ranking on the major search engines.
One nice feature involves the drop shadow effects throughout the site. They were created by code instead of images. This dramatically reduces the download time and makes it easy to update the site. Because of the way we code all of our websites, they are among the quickest to open up, a nice touch that visitors appreciate.
Another valuable feature enables users to click on “anchor” links such as found in “Services,” and “Resources.” Upon reaching the link location, you will find it highlighted. If, however, you simply go to the resources page without clicking on “anchor” links from other web pages, you will not find it highlighted. Without this feature a visitor often has to search through several citations before finding the desired one. Your customers will not know that this feature is rarely found on other sites, but they will subconsciously appreciate it and return for the value of your content.
