Does Your Website Seek To Impress?

An impressive website?

This is what many business owners ask for when looking to hire a web designer. But should you be looking to impress your potential customers? The truth is that most customers aren't impressed by the website but rather what the website does for them.

This article will examine and give a clear perspective on what an effective website should look like and why.

"I want my website to impress my visitors... "

This is a common answer that clients will give when asked what they want from their site.

If the site is business related then the only right answer there is that they should want their site to make money. That's the ONLY right answer. It might achieve this through different means but it's goal should be to make money and it should accomplish this by giving the visitors what they want. So the natural question to ask becomes, why do potential customers come to the site?

Do they want information?

That is one of the biggest reasons people visit websites and even more specifically they visit websites to find answers or solutions to their problems.

That right there is the main reason why the vast majority of your potential customers would come to your site and this is what your site should be designed around.

The design should primarily make it easy for people to access information. If your site doesn't do this your visitors will go somewhere else.

Next your site should appear appealing but only to the point where it doesn't impede the access to information. When it does it defeats it's purpose and as good as it will look the visitors won't be interested for long for the simple reason that it didn't answer the number one reason they came to the site, to find answers to their problems.

Do this and your closer to selling them your product or service.

Ideally the site should inform them on why they need your product or service to solve their problem. If your site can convey that, then you will make sales and money, simple as that.

So the goal of your site should not be to impress the visitors but to impress on them the benefits of your product or service in solving their problems. It needs to do this clearly, simply and above all else, convincingly.

What you should be looking for in a web designer is someone who clearly understands that.

Threaded Tube Inserts

Threaded tube inserts serve as finishing or end plugs in tubes and provide the additional facility of fitting other threaded elements like leveling etc. Tube inserts are manufactured with different thicknesses and materials for specific needs of different industries. The shapes may also vary, ranging from round to square and rectangular to fit different pipe shapes.

Another variation in threaded tube inserts is the square or round tube insert with ribbed or stepped feet, which makes it easy for the user to adjust height. This pattern also makes the threading stronger, durable and resistant to stress, especially lateral stress. The top portion can be in the form of a lobed or hexagonal nut. Thus the height adjustment and the insert are available in a single unit.

Square shaped threaded tube inserts are also available in full-metal finish, with zinc plating. The ribbed design enables the tube insert to lock into the inside of the tube. Square inserts can also be purchased in nylon and PVC materials for resistance to corrosion, chemical reactions, better grip and non-conductivity. They're also lighter in weight but could be less hard-wearing as compared to metal. Rectangular threaded inserts are generally used to fit onto ends of rectangular tubes to give a good finish, prevent abrasion injuries and also provide safety when such tubing is used in shelving, display racks and lightweight metal furniture. Since they cover the sharp edges, they are especially useful in schools, libraries, educational institutions and public places where there may be greater movement of people. Oval shapes can also be ordered if the shape of tubing being used is oval.

Threaded inserts are also useful for assembling adjustable feet, castors, etc, and with the additional feature of metal threaded inserts, these become very useful in heavy-duty applications. Alternatively, plastic or nylon inserts can be provided for additional grip and locking. They provide an affordable solution to the problem of smoothly fitting components together and can be knocked or tapped into place to grip the inside of the tube securely while the outer portion gives the tube end a good finish with no dangerous edges.

Hemispheric threaded inserts with domed tops are another good option. They block the open tube end, with the additional feature of providing a rounded knob for a better aesthetic look. These could be in chrome, antique or brass finish.

Depending on your requirements, the function that the threaded tube insert will have to perform, your budget and aesthetic requirements, you can order them from your local hardware dealers or directly from the manufacturer, based on their on-line catalogs or brochures. Many suppliers offer discounts on shipping and bulk orders. They may also customize material, shape, thickness, gauge etc. to your specifications if the order is large enough.

Installing a Home Theater System

Thinking about installing a home theater system? You're not alone. Home theater is one of the fastest growing areas areas in home entertainment and the advent of DVD recorders and HDTV means your set-up can now be entirely digital, without an inch of video tape in site.

Installing a home theater is a big decision and requires careful planning. Luckily there are a number of resources around to help you and you needn't be a technical expert or a hi-fi buff to get the job done.

One of the first decisions you'll need to make before you set about installing a home theater is whether your going to dedicate a whole room to the theater or whether it will share a space with a lounge, dining room, or office. Having a dedicated room allows you to position seating and speakers in the optimum position and you can seriously consider a projector and screen without it looking as out of place as it might in your living room.

Obviously budget is another consideration and this will dictate which equipment you buy initially and what you save for another day. As a bare minimum you'll want a DVD player, widescreen television, and a surround sound audio amplifier and speakers. We'd recommend opting for a DVD recorder like this one from Phillips, or this from Panasonic. They're obviously more expensive than a DVD player, but will give you much greater flexibility. And don't forget to budget for cabling, its a very important part of installing a home theatre and one that's often overlooked.

You'll also want to think about the interior design of a dedicated home theater room and of course the seating is all important. You're going to spend hours and hours watching movies and the last thing you need is uncomfortable seats.

5 Top Tips To Win More With Any Lottery

Here's 5 top tips to bear in mind next time you complete your lottery playslip. They won't increase your CHANCES of winning - because ONLY more entries can do that.

BUT they can significantly increase the AMOUNT you win when your numbers do come up.

How?

Because all 5 lottery tips are based on avoiding the way a lot of other people pick their numbers. If you pick lottery numbers the same way as most people do, then when you hit the jackpot, you share that prize with everybody else who picked the same numbers.

That can turn a jackpot pool of millions into a prize of just thousands! It happens all too often - so please don't let it happen to you.

Here's those quick tips for making sure that your lottery jackpot is the life changing sum you are looking for:

[1] Don't pick numbers that have already won, especially not from recent draws. Many players believe that winnings numbers are somehow lucky and therefore more likely to come up. Of course that isn't true, but a lot of people do it.

[2] Don't pick numbers based on an arithmetic sequences, such as 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, or 01, 11, 21, 31, 41, 49. People like number patterns - you would be stunned at how many people pick this way every single week.

[3] Don't pick numbers according to a 'tip' service. Just imagine how many other people will use the same numbers!

[4] Don't pick numbers purely according to family birthdays. Enormous numbers of lottery players choose the day of the birthday of family members when selecting lottery numbers. But there are only 31 days at most in a month - which means an awful lot of people pick all their numbers in that range.

[5] Don't make a pattern on your playslip. Diagonal or straight lines in any direction, star shapes, boxes, zig-zags etc. You might think who else would do that? The answer is anywhere from tens of people to tens of THOUSANDS of people!

The easiest, fastest way to pick better lottery numbers, is to pick them totally at random. So pull scraps of paper out of a bag. It won't guarantee NOT picking a 'bad' set of numbers, but at least there's a good chance you won't be sharing your lottery millions with a hundred other 'lucky' winners.
