			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cosmicktechnologies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/dreamclients.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-184" title="dreamclients" src="http://cosmicktechnologies.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/dreamclients-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></a></p>
<p>There’s a saying that the School of Visual Arts in New York City once used in its ads: “To be good is not enough when you dream of being great.” We all have dream clients that we would like to add to our portfolio, but either we don’t know how to reach them or have no idea how to even start. Promotion is not a big subject at art school, and I know way too many creatives who stare at the phone and wonder why it’s not ringing.</p>
<p>There are many ways to promote yourself, and as with any product, you have to <strong>target your audience</strong> as efficiently and as cost-effectively as possible. Let’s go over some problems and solutions.</p>
<h3>Seek Out More Work Than You Can Handle</h3>
<p>If you want people to know you and consider you a valuable contact, then you must promote yourself. If you look at your career as a business, then as with any business, you must promote it.</p>
<p><strong>What is your brand?</strong> Let’s not confuse a logo with a brand. Your logo is the visual “name” by which people identify you—your brand is how people remember you as a business. Is your brand personal? Fun? Wicked? Sweet? Choose wisely because you could be married to your brand forever and ever. Use peers and non-creatives as a sounding board. I had a brand that creatives thought was cool but clients just didn’t get (which I’ll write about in another therapeutic article).</p>
<p><strong>Prepare your brand</strong> for all digital and social networks before hitting people with promotions. Essentials these days are a website or blog, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Apps (if that’s your thing), business cards, stationary and envelopes—your business “front” as it were. Don’t scrimp, and inkjet print your own cards. If you can’t afford what you would spend in an afternoon at the pub for good business cards, then you might want to get a pony and dedicate the rest of your days to riding it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listed below are some useful and rather important tips for designing a professional and high quality web site:</p>
<p>Neat and Easy Navigation: Navigation of links on your site plays a big role in determining the stickiness of your site (how long your visitor stays and explores your site). Ask yourself this, what do visitors do as soon as they open your site? They would probably read the content of the present page and then look around to find any other page that interests them.. </p>
<p>Clean Layout Design: A clean layout that uses a lot of white space enhances a site&#8217;s looks. Try to keep the focus on your content, use dreamweaver templates for this. Use fonts that will be available on all computers to prevent your site looking messed up. </p>
<p>Program using pure CSS: The world is moving away from table based websites to pure CSS websites because it offers accessibility, reusability and considerably reduces file size apart from giving greater control over the look of your website. The single most important skill you can learn today to become a quality web designer is CSS programming! Even if you are not an expert at CSS you can learn to use the following simple CSS Styles Effects to enhance your website:<br />
Cool Text Effects using CSS Styles: Text Links Rollover, Text Case Setting, Text Spacing and Line-through Effect<br />
Bullets in HTML or Deamweaver: Using CSS Styles with bullets (shapes, decimal, roman-numerals, images, etc.)<br />
Links without Underline: Use CSS Styles to display links without the appearance of the underline.<br />
Optimum Load Time: Make sure your load time is low. For this you must:<br />
Minimize Graphics, Flash and scripts: They hugely increase your file size.<br />
Optimize your HTML &#038; script code: Make sure that your site doesn&#8217;t have any unwanted tags or unused scripts.<br />
Use Server Side Include (SSI) files where ever possible. SSI files once called from the web server reside in its cache so on subsequent requests they load faster. </p>
<p>Design for all Screen Resolutions: A site that is easy-to-use always encourages visitors to stay and read your content. For site with long pages of content this is very crucial as the amount of scrolling required is reduced. Suppose your site doesn&#8217;t look good for a particular resolution it is very probable that the visitor will close the browser window feeling that the web page is not for their viewing. Designing stretch layouts that fit any screen resolution ensures that you know all your visitors see a visually appealing and professional site. </p>
<p>Ensure Web site scalability: Make sure your code and design is scalable. As technology advances and configuration of computers &#038; their monitors keep increasing and varying it is impossible to test your site in all screen sizes and platforms. </p>
<p>Cross Browser Compatible: Make sure you check your site for Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox 1+, Opera 7+, Safari 3+ and Netscape Navigator 6+ as they constitute 95% of the world&#8217;s browsers.</p>
