A World of Web 2.0 2007-11-19 18:00:00 Today I spoke at a fascinating event, 'A World
of Web 2.0', held by AIMIA and supported by Microsoft and gold sponsors, Wiliam. It was a 2 hour interactive forum that offered insight into the opportunities and risks associated with new technology and the different ways users are experiencing it online.
Wiliam on SmartCompany.com.au 2007-11-07 18:00:00 The article, 'Web 2.0 Innovator Leaps Facebook Frontier' was published on SmartCompany.com.au this afternoon, and is a compliment to everyone involved with Wiliam.

Travel & Tourism in the Digital Age 2007-10-22 19:00:00 While preparing for a presentation I gave yesterday, I stumbled upon a statistic - over a quarter of all US travel related sales will be made online.

Churn at the Checkout 2007-10-21 19:00:00 The eCommerce shopping process is obviously very different to the real-world shopping process and we are far more committed to entering our pin by the time we have made it to the counter at our local Bunnings.

Building the website business case 2008-03-30 19:00:00 The Internet is no longer an art, it's a science. Nobody questions anymore the importance of the Internet for business. And yet so many website
s are mere redesigns of the former website, with no strategy or business-case for their existence. Good websites can deliver great outcomes for their owners, though it needs to start with a plan. Read more:Building
Priority Number 1 2008-03-29 19:00:00 The World Wide Web presents a fantastic distraction to marketers and builders of websites; before we've mastered email marketing, we've moved onto facebook.

Nobody reads websites 2008-03-16 19:00:00 The reality of it is that most people do not read the bulk of websites they visit; this is in part a reflection of the nature of how people browse the Internet after years of experience, and in part a reflection the readability and relevance of websites. People need to want to read a website and it's not that difficult to achieve that. Read more:Nobody

Does Flash make it flash? 2008-04-07 19:00:00 Flash is a fantastic technology and brings very real benefits to websites and the users of websites. It's really unfortunate that it's dogged by so many mistruths.
What makes a good website? 2008-04-02 19:00:00 Good website
s work. Bad websites don't. The constitution of a good website is varied and continually changing, though it begins with the development of the website. Read more:makes

The genius that is 360 Navigation 2008-05-04 19:00:00 The focus for a successful website change depending on where in life the website is: for a new website, I'd focus on the basics. For a successful website, it's about usability and the ability of users to transact with the website. I did make up the term, 360 navigation though the principal is sound and forms the basis of good architecture. Read more:genius
