Are You the Grain or the Chaff?

wheatKevinLallierAre you the grain or the chaff?

When people thresh through their inbox or social media network, are you the grain that they find useful or the chaff that they throw away? People are selfish.

When They Can't Figure Out Your Site, People Turn to Search – Have One?

searchledoojacheretriennalesoonUsually when people come to a website, they’re looking for something.  And they hope they can find it on the first page, but if not, most are willing to scan the page to see if there’s a link that may lead them there.  This behavior really points out the importance both of properly organizing the information on your website, as well as having a navigation/menu system that people can quickly and easily understand.
