Hi, first I'd like to start off by saying please check out my original post because I still need help with it.

 

Anyway let's get to the point, I have started a new website and was wondering if you guys had any unique and/or cool/interesting ideas on how I can attract attention to it. I don't want to look like I'm desperate (because I'm not) and I don't to force people into going to my website by tricking them or being aggressive. Any Ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Google seo is a good way to get found by people. I guess other involve social media advertising create a page invite your friends get them to share. or get your freinds to spread the word. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising.

Cool, thanks.

Add some original and interesting content (whatever that might be) and update it regularly.

Btw something is totaly wrong with the markup on your index page. The last line of your code is a closing head tag, The body should NOT be nested within the head.

Thanks a lot, I didn't notice that. How did you know? Could you just tell?

Dear 'Nillervision'

 

I see that you're an experienced web designer and I figured I should ask you for help. If you've visited Homeflow, you'll see that currently you're unable to add your own websites to the bar. I was wondering if you knew JavaScript so you could help me. If you want the source for the bar that I use I can give it and also my index file. Just send me a message.

 

Thanks

Acording to the documentation you add items like this

 <div class="ContentFlow">
            <div class="loadIndicator"><div class="indicator"></div></div>
            <div class="flow">
                <img class="item" src="someImageFile.jpg" title="Your_Image_Title"/>
                <!-- Add as many items as you like. -->
            </div>
            <div class="globalCaption"></div>
            <div class="scrollbar"><div class="slider"><div class="position"></div></div></div>
        </div>

Use SEO. Add some catchy features in the website. Add original and unique content. Engage yourself in conversation with potential customers. Use Social Media.

Will this make it so that other people can customize the FlowBar?

What do you mean with "other people"?

Everyone who can edit the html and has FTP access to you server can edit this.

But to for users of you site to "customize" the flowbar you would need form elements, server side scipting and a database to manage the data entered by the users.

Cool buddy! dont worry just make an SEO and SMO to improve your traffic and visitors, Try to keep content original and not to be a duplicate also focus on keywords using in website.

To grab the attention of the potential visitors to the website we need to make it searchengine friendly. This is the first criteria. Secondly the design should be authentic and unique; color combination for the pages must spectacular.

Don't forget CONTENT. Original and regular updated content always has to be the first criteria. Some would even argue that the only purpose of design is to present and group the content.

Add some original and interesting content (whatever that might be) and update it regularly.

I agree with this, if its for your own purpose, it gives you plenty of room for content. I work with two programmers and we are making the rules as we go along, for creative purposes. I`m older so that helps me in the visual/image field as far as ideas are concerned. Their job is to create the program. Our next step is to go into the digital film side of content.

you should take help of Google SEO. Gogle SEO will improve your site ranking and attract more visitors to different plateforms. you should write intersting post and share on social media where more user availble online.

Thanks guys for all your help.

By 'other people', I meant viewers of my content. Thanks, I will try to learn the basics for PHP and see what I can do from there.

Carrying out SEO is a good place to start - people will come across your site more often and as a result are more likely to visit it... have you thought about introducing any digital marketing/online marketing to try and drive traffic to your site? I had a look at the site, what is it, is it just a page where people can get into other pages...?

Please explain, what is the purpose of your website? I couldn't figure it out

It was originally meant to be used as a homepage to give you easy access. I stopped working on the public version of this webpage a while ago and only now use it for personal purposes, since then it has improved a lot because it is now specifically for me and does exactly what I need.

I have stopped working on 'Project Homeflow', I now just only use it for personal purposes. The public version of this webpage is still up but I have completely stopped working on it.

 

Thanks for your suggestions and tips!

Looks like a little bookmark page.

Why don't you use your browser's bookmark facility instead of this? (for personal purposes)

 

Good luck

It is not that difficult at all, but might take some time. SEO is your new friendly word! Read up on how to SEO your webpage. Quality Useful Content for Google is a good start. Use your Keywords Wisely. Try Both On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO tactics for better rankings. Also read up and learn about building back-links. Good Luck Bro!

I get 404'd on your website, just letting you know

Like I said, it has improved a lot since before, now each icon on the Flowbar has been replaced with a login form for the websites, it's very hard to explain, but basically instead of loading up each page when clicked, I never have to leave Homeflow thanks to iFrames. (That was a very bad description, sorry!)

Maybe Adengage. I haven't used them yet.

Best way to promote your website is content marketing. Write original articles and blogs, share them in Google plus or Facebook. Increase the viewership of the shared content.
