SiteLab’s Top 10 Reasons to Redesign Your Company Website
If you haven’t taken a close look at your website lately or checked out competitors’ websites, you could be missing out! A new site redesign may become your competitive advantage to growing your business. It could be the answer to low sales conversions or an increase in new traffic to your website. Here are a few reasons as to why a website redesign is worth the time and effort.

1. Rookie or a Pro? - The site looks amateurish and parts of the site are broken.
Recent studies have shown that people form an opinion of a website within the first three seconds of viewing it. Make sure your customer’s first impression is of a professional business rather than someone who isn’t serious about what they’re selling.

2. Is this thing on? - The site doesn’t ask viewers to do something.
If you’re selling a product, you need to ask your visitors to click a link to buy the product. If you’re selling a service, you need to ask your viewers to submit a form and contact you to get a free quote. Give your customer an easy way to take action.

3. One and done - Viewers don’t have a reason to return to your site.
Give visitors a reason to return, whether it is a great article, or seasonal coupons, or a blog. Make your website an important part of your customers lives.

4. So last year - The information on the site is obviously dated.
It is an unfortunate fact for organizations that websites show their age if left unattended. Considerable damage can be done to your reputation if customers discover that information or products on your web site are out of date. Worse still, incorrect. If your website is out of date consider using some kind of content management system, appropriate for the job, to keep it fresh. If the design looks like it is from 1999, your customers will move on to a competitor.

5. This is taking forever to load!?!? - The pictures on the site aren’t “optimized.”
You may have photos on your site that you took yourself. This can cause major problems for viewers. If your site is full of huge pictures that take forever to download and look bad once they do, viewers will leave and never come back.

6. Quick Info - The body text is too long.
Reading text on a computer screen is harder on the eyes than reading from a piece of paper. The font shouldn’t be too small or too large, and the typeface should be one that’s easy to read on a screen. If you have a lot to say about your company then find unique ways to direct viewers to the information rather than one huge long block of text. You can also add headings and subheads which help optimize your site for search engines.

7. I found you - Get Better Search Engine Optimization For Your Website
Chances are that you probably have your website listed in search engine databases. However, what does it matter if you’re not listed on page 1 of search results?  The vast majority of searchers never go beyond page 1 of search results.  This makes it imperative that your website rank on page 1 for the most desirable search terms.  Identify your top search terms, then make sure these terms appear throughout your website in body copy, links, headlines, etc.  If you have a lot of target keywords, take a more strategic approach and target certain pages for certain keywords.  Make sure to stay on top of which keywords are the best as these will change over time.  For the best search engine optimization results, you should definitely consider having your website redesigned.

8. 404 Error - The site is down or can’t be found.
If your site can’t be found by anyone, what good is it doing you? If the problem is that your site is constantly down, consider a new hosting service.  If you can’t be found on the web it may be because your website was not designed with keywords, alt tags and the best title tags. Search engine optimization is the answer. You may also need links to your site from other sites or website marketing. Don’t forget ideas such as direct mail to get your website name out there.

9. If you can’t beat them join them? - Your website looks like all your competitors websites
How unique is your website? If someone is researching your product category will they be wowed over by your website? Does it have something your competitors don’t such as useful articles or an engaging design? Are you leveraging the lastest in Web 2.0?

10. Are you a luxury brand? - The design of your website doesn’t reflect your company image.
Sometimes it’s the use of color, typefaces or special artwork that makes your website reflect your image. If your customer buys your product because it is fun - do you come across as fun? Whether your company is conservative, elegant, innovative, kid-friendly or something els, make sure your website fits.

Microsoft’s Midori

Microsoft\'s Midori

According to a report, Microsoft isn’t just looking at the next version of Windows (no, not Mojave) for future OS possibilities, but is looking beyond the Windows architecture altogether with a project known as Midori. The new OS is still in the “incubation” phase (which puts it slightly closer to market than R&D projects), but Microsoft has admitted to its existence, and the Software Daily Times says at least one team in Redmond is actively working on the new architecture.

The basis for the platform centers around research related to Microsoft’s Singularity project, and envisions a distributed environment where applications, documents, and connectivity are blurred in a cloud-computing phantasmagoria which can be run natively or hosted across multiple systems. The researchers are working to create a concurrent / parallel distribution of resources, as well as a method of handling applications across separate machines — religiously-dubbed the Asynchronous Promise Architecture — which will set the stage for a backwards-compatible operating system built from the ground up, with networks of varying size in mind. Says the SD Times, “The Midori documents foresee applications running across a multitude of topologies, ranging from client-server and multi-tier deployments to peer-to-peer at the edge, and in the cloud data center. Those topologies form a heterogeneous mesh where capabilities can exist at separate places.” Like it technical? Hit the read link for an in-depth look at the possible shape of Microsoft’s future.

Microsoft Midori Is a Secret Post-Windows Operating System

midori windows 7

Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 7 might just be the salve to soothe Windows Vista ouchies, but what Windows fans really want is something that hasn’t yet been announced. Mary-Jo of All About Microsoft says that internally, there’s a project called Singularity that’s designed to solve all kinds of shortcomings in current operating systems, upending the traditional way of thinking in favor of something dramatically different. And while Singularity won’t be released to the public, Midori, which takes a lot of cues from it, will.

According to Microsoft 2.0:

“There’s a seemingly related (related to Singularity) project under development at Microsoft which has been hush-hush. That project, codenamed ‘Midori,’ is a new Microsoft operating-system platform that supposedly supersedes Windows. Midori is in incubation, which means it is a little closer to market than most Microsoft Research projects, but not yet close enough to be available in any kind of early preview form.

“What’s also interesting about Midori is who is running the project. One-time Gates heir-apparent Eric Rudder is heading up the effort. Midori is being incubated under Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie’s wing. ‘Everyone under him (under Rudder on Midori) is a multi-year vet, has a super fancy title, and is going back to their roots and writing code like they probably did in the old days,’ one Microsoft tipster told me.

“When and how Microsoft will roll out Midori is still a mystery. But it sounds like the company thinks the project is serious enough to dedicate a considerable amount of time/people/resources to it.”

So it won’t be in Windows 7, but from the sounds of it, Midori might be far enough along to make it to Windows 8. Will they still keep calling it Windows to hold onto the brand, or will they call it something different to illustrate how dramatically separate it is from what we’re currently using?

New Midori Windows OS

windows midori os

Windows 7 and Windows 7 Server are not the only operating systems under development at Microsoft. In fact, the Redmond company is cooking a variety of projects involving Windows platforms for everything from mobile phones to embedded devices. And yet, at the same time, the Redmond company is hard at work hammering away at non-Windows operating systems. So far, Microsoft has already made available for download Singularity, but it seems that there is more to new system architecture and operating systems over at Microsoft than meets the eye. Case
in point: Midori.

According to Mary Jo Foley, Midori is a project operating system intimately connected built under the lead of Eric Rudder, Senior Vice President, Technical Strategy. Rudder, in his turn, is under the responsibility of Craig Mundie, Chief Research and Strategy Officer, who, together with Ray Ozzie, Chief Software Architect, has replaced Chairman Bill Gates at the helm of Microsoft.

The Redmond giant is, of course, extremely hush-hush about Midori, but the company, as it has a tradition of letting details slip through its fingers, officially confirmed the existence of Midori, and its connection with Singularity. In this context, Microsoft Research has published a PowerPoint presentation about CHESS: Systematic Testing of Concurrent Programs.

Among the current CHESS applications (work in progress), Microsoft enumerates “Dryad, library for distributed dataflow programming, Singularity/Midori (OS in managed code), user-mode drivers, Cosmos (distributed file system), [and] SQL database”. It is clear from the Microsoft Research document that Singularity and Midori are almost one and the same thing, and certainly enough, both non-Windows operating systems written entirely in managed code.

“Singularity is a new operating system being developed as a basis for more dependable system and application software. Singularity exploits advances in programming languages and tools to create an environment in which software is more likely to be built correctly, program behavior is easier to verify, and run-time failures can be contained. A key aspect of Singularity is an extension model based on Software-Isolated Processes (SIPs), which encapsulate pieces of an application or a system and provide information hiding, failure isolation, and strong interfaces,” reads a fragment of the whitepaper presenting the Singularity project.

However, there is no telling, at this point in time, where exactly Midori will end up. Microsoft might very well be working on the successor of the Windows operating system, but if it is, it has failed to give any indication in this respect. Singularity has already reached a sufficiently developed stage in order for it to be released for usage via CodePlex.
