What’s CMS?
CMS is Content Management System. If you have not heard about it, then it’s time.
I think one of the biggest advantage of using a CMS is the ease of updating your pages and creating new one.
So I am already using a CMS if you consider Wordpress to be one. However, I mean CMS CMS e.g. Drupal or Joomla.
It was announced in the Straits Times that ST701 online classified portal was revamped (again) featuring… “the portal’s popular search engine is now in an easy-to-locate spot”.
But, I think the journalist mention of “easy-to-locate” is not referring to the search box you see at ST701 homepage.
I was angry, very angry when my ex-colleague asked me to take a look at his revamped website(www.ottegroup.com) done by some Flash web designers in Singapore.
Here’s snippets of what he said to me:
“I have finally received my new web pages but feel that it is really a bad choice with the web designer. He is using Flash and I cannot refer to any link or pages.”
“It looks good but not very functional.”
“Can you help me take a look and see how bad is the website?”
So, I looked at his website and got angry because it was beyond bad.
I thought I was overly harsh when I commented that the rollover navigation box was a stupid idea. However, I am not alone using the “stupid” word.
Jakob Nielsen, the web usability expert, commented in the special report published at ZDNet that “Web sites need SEO consultants to save themselves from their own stupidities”.
After 10 years of telling people what not to do with their web sites, Jakob is still facing an uphill task. Most web site owners don’t listen.
I’ve finally completed the new web design and layout for this blog. Don’t you think it looks better than the previous design? The last time I fiddled with Blogger template was at least 6 months ago and it took me nearly a week to customise a design template. (more…) New Look and Feel - SEO Web Design
