digital marketing brand building

    Brand building remains a more meticulous effort than what one can imagine - not necessarily painstaking but definitely more complex than what we envisaged - perhaps a decade ago! Today, brand building is not solely about steering awareness but "experience" as well. In other words, your work as a digital marketer remains incomplete if: * You only guarantee rankings without easy recall value * If people are not searching your brand name on Google * If, for your customers, you're not yet in the same bracket as that of your major competitors Documented below are a few steps with the help of which you can shore up your brand building efforts: Let us tell you that it all starts with a strong foundation. And by basics we mean everything starting from website speed and company goals to brand logo and business equity. Here's a look! * What has the business set out to do? Is there parity between what the brand the promises and what it delivers? * Does the brand logo have good recall value? * Is the website fast or responsive? * Are you analyzing market trends by studying your competitors? Earning Trust That's of course - integral to your brand building efforts. Today, brands are increasingly finding it difficult to garner trust solely by virtue of advertisements. There is a lot of thought which goes into establishing credibility: * Don't mislead your customers by false e-mails * Don't send bulk e-mails to people who you don't really know * Educate them through short videos and infographics Collaborate with influencers and brands: What is popularly known as co-branding, has actually emerged as one of the easiest way with the help of which you can create brand awareness and generate leads. The most valuable partners that you can rope in are - influencers, functional partners and lead partners.

  • Before designing the first Web page, it's vital to know who you are trying to reach. This single detail will chart the entire development course, from the site's content to its functionality. Defining and understanding your prospective audience increases the likelihood of user attraction and retention.
  • Primary market research consists of personal interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and surveys. When putting together your own Target Audience Profile, use these guidelines:
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Demographics. Regardless of the assessment tool you use, questions first should address basic demographic information. Prior to conducting a survey or focus group, spend some time online. The U.S. Department of Commerce publishes the Country and City Data Book which captures hard statistics for all U.S. states, counties, and cities with a population of 25,000 or more. Then, compile a questionnaire to address market segmentation along specific criteria:
  • Age: Users' wants and needs tend to change based on their generation. Knowing the average age range of potential users can help you design and market the site to meet that group's expectations. Gender: Male and female users often differ when it comes to what they value in a Web site. Studies show the factors that motivate women to visit or purchase from a particular site don't necessarily inspire men to do the same. Knowing gender predilections at the outset can impact the entire Web design process. Education: Data regarding potential users' educational background will help the Web developer determine design and content. In general, a site's format should target the average likely visitor, rather than aim at high or low ends of the academic experience curve. Geographic location: Where the target audience calls home drives the Web page content. For instance, urbanites living in a densely populated northeastern U.S. city likely will have different needs and preferences than their rural counterparts.
  • Marital status: Married Internet users typically access different retail/service sites than do single people. A TAP will help ascertain which group comprises your largest consumer demographic, with your Web site following this direction. Occupation: Although exceptions invariably exist, Web sites servicing "blue-collar" consumers will differ in style and content from those catering to professionals and "white-collar" workers. By the same token, retirees usually will have different preferences than consumers still in the throes of career building. Income level: A company targeting consumers who are apt to purchase luxury goods and services will require a Web site that differs considerably from a discount retailer's Internet page. Nationality: Businesses trading in goods and services for an ethnically diverse target market may need to consider multilingual content, as well as adjustments in design and format to fit cultural standards. Social class: A consumer's perception of his or her social status impacts preferences in goods and services - even when individual income does not reach this level.
  • Psychographics. Once you've finished with demographic-based questions, you're ready to take the line of inquiry a bit further. The science of psychographics (also known as "enriching characteristics") addresses why consumers act as they do. So, while demographics offer a general outline of your customer pool, psychographics brings critical characteristics of your target audience into sharper focus. Employing a psychographic methodology means devising queries about lifestyles, attitudes, values, beliefs, purchasing habits and other qualitative criteria. Although possibilities are numerous, key questions can help you and your designer hone and refine your Web site. Depending on your business, you might ask, for instance:
  • Do you consider yourself conservative or liberal? Is it important to care of the environment? What are your hobbies? Interests? Are you family-oriented or a loner? What type of entertainment do you prefer (cinema, theater, symphony, etc.)? How many books do you read monthly? What magazines do you read?
  • When you shop, which is most important - friendly staff, nice surroundings, good prices or convenient location? Do you shop for fun, because you must, or to relieve stress? Do you purchase (our) company's product because of quality, ease of use, price or availability? Do you patronize our competitor because their product is cheaper, product quality is better, service is friendlier, the store is nicer, or returns are simpler? Do you go online to work, shop, do research, play games, or e-mail? Do you think the Internet is tough going or easy to navigate? Do you prefer retail/service Web sites that are easy to navigate, easy to read, picture-heavy, or text heavy?

  • I began by studying the content (text) of the existing page, making a model in my head of the document flow and hierarchy. I aggregated the sections of the page into logical groupings and assigned each a priority. I also spent time thinking about the purpose of the project, along with the ideas and concepts Dave Shea was trying to communicate when he created the Garden space and opened it up for other designers to contribute.
  • Showing off advanced CSS trickery is not the goal of this project. Instead, it attempts to demonstrate the beauty and flexibility achievable when designers grasp all the potential of CSS, using it as a tool to create a well-designed aesthetically-pleasing page which remains accessible, well-structured, and efficiently coded.
  • My Garden lists contained groupings of words and thoughts related to gardening, plants and flowers found in a garden, zen-like qualities, beauty and beautiful things, and characteristics of page design. I also created lists of all the elements, IDs, and classes used in Dave’s HTML, some of which made subtle appearances in the final design.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Once I exhausted the idea branching, I started drawing thumbnail sketches
  • Once I had a few rough compositions I liked, I began studying typefaces and letterforms.
  • In addition to my affinity for the letterforms, the pronounced medieval style of the headline type created a perfect contrast with the sans-serif modernity of supporting keywords and titles which I set in Helvetica.
  • My next step in the process was to research imagery which could be used as the foundation for background texture, and act as supporting visual content.
  • I tend to keep imagery confined to a particular region of the layout, or reserve it for a specific purpose. In my opinion, the overuse of photography or illustration can quickly create a crowded, chaotic design which just obscures the intention or message of the piece. Contrast is an element of design which I love to work with when creating anything visual. This comes just as much into play with use of imagery in a composition as it does within the image itself. Effectively integrating imagery into a design requires an awareness of balance and tension. Compact areas of motion and activity, countered with spaces for the eye to rest and relax.
  • When designing outside HTML and CSS, I focus on constructing the language and guidelines of the page, determining proportions, widths and heights, gutters and white space, specifying complementing typefaces, choosing relative type size and leading, and the application of color as a means of both obvious and subtle accent.
  • I started writing the CSS for the design at a high-level, focusing on the layout structure, major backgrounds, and large regions of the page.
  • Groups of elements were positioned in correct locations. Then I applied the necessary detail to each element, from the top of the page, down.
  • The addition of a background pattern to the left and right of the primary image was an added benefit of discovering I couldn’t position the header as I originally intended.
  • The vertical alignment wasn’t refined until after each column was already positioned on the page.
  • This unity of thought at the final stage of the process is a strong reason the designer and person responsible for generating the HTML and/or CSS need should be working together as closely as possible, if the two are not already the same person.

  • The first thing you have to figure out about your target audience is who they are. What kind of things do they do? What kind of music do they listen to? What products do they use? How old are they? The answers to these questions and many more will help you better understand the people you are designing for. Getting an understanding of these individuals helps you create with ease and make something you know will relate to them and end up communicating well.
  • Again, you have to know the target audience. If you or your client have no idea who you’re designing for, you’re really taking a stab in the dark and hoping and praying you come up with something. There are times when you may have a wide variety of people in your audience, but you’ve got to find a commonality between the majority of folks.

  • Also be aware that you’ve got to ask the right questions. If I want to know why people like that t-shirt design, I’m not going to ask them what size shirt they wear, I’m going to focus on the design. For example, why they like the design or what it means to them. You want to ask questions that will help you figure your audience out and help you make educated guesses on the things they’ll like in the future.
  • Keep in mind, demographic information is only useful to a certain extent. You still need to figure out what your audience likes and what they feel (as well as what they like to feel). Don’t get so caught up in asking the regular boring questions about age and income that you forget to ask about their interests as well.
  • Say that your web designs allow users to connect with a company in ways that were never imagined. Say that your product isn’t just a product but it contributes to your life in much deeper ways.
  • Try to highlight what you can do for them and not just your skill set.
  • Once you feel like you have a good grasp on your target market, you need to have an even better grasp of what you’re trying to do or what it is you are trying to design for. If you are trying to sell a product or service, what are you trying to convey about that product or service?
  • The greatest fundamental theory that you cannot ever lose is be visual hierarchy. As a designer, you have to remember and understand that you have all the power of figuring out what your audience looks at when they look at a flyer or a package. Use that to your advantage in everything you do. This theory basically states that you create hierarchy or importance based on what is the biggest and what is the smallest. While that’s the first contributor, the second contributor is going to be placement. Your most important visual, whether it be a headline or a picture, should be above or at eye level. Putting it below eye level or out of the initial view is a complete and total waste of time.
  • A lot of times, we want people to stop and notice something crazy we’ve done with a layout or something, but we shouldn’t be reinventing the wheel, we should just be making sure everything makes sense and is legible. You want whoever sees your visual to get the main points even if they’re only passing by.
  • As I said before, as a graphic designer, I just want to do fun designs with crazy colors, cool shapes, and illustrations. For my own personal business that works, because I tend to cater to trendier, younger folks who are interested in trying new things. However, sometimes I get a client who is less interested in that. I sometimes get clients who are extremely corporate, so I have to pull myself in a bit as they aren’t interested at all in cool and crazy designs. I don’t bore them to death with my design, but I will make sure there is focus on what needs focus.
  • Many times we can get caught up in ourselves and what we want, but it has nothing to do with what we want, and everything to do with what the audience wants.
  • Many designers and owners believe a website’s sole purpose is to tell everyone about your product or service and why it’s completely awesome. Well, I beg to differ. A website is supposed to be an extension of your business and should be used to communicate with current customers as well as potential customers. Keep it consistent with your target market and make yourself available on your website.
  • Make sure you have a clear message on your site—if you sell several products try to highlight one. If you have several different services highlight one or highlight the reasons why people keep coming back; create a feeling. No matter the demographics of your audience, your website should be clear and consistent.

Best Practices for Speeding Up Your Web Site - 1 views

  • Arranging the images in the sprite horizontally as opposed to vertically usually results in a smaller file size. Combining similar colors in a sprite helps you keep the color count low, ideally under 256 colors so to fit in a PNG8. "Be mobile-friendly" and don't leave big gaps between the images in a sprite. This doesn't affect the file size as much but requires less memory for the user agent to decompress the image into a pixel map. 100x100 image is 10 thousand pixels, where 1000x1000 is 1 million pixels
  • Minification is the practice of removing unnecessary characters from code to reduce its size thereby improving load times. When code is minified all comments are removed, as well as unneeded white space characters (space, newline, and tab). In the case of JavaScript, this improves response time performance because the size of the downloaded file is reduced.
  • Many web sites fall in the middle of these metrics. For these sites, the best solution generally is to deploy the JavaScript and CSS as external files. The only exception where inlining is preferable is with home pages, such as Yahoo!'s front page and My Yahoo!. Home pages that have few (perhaps only one) page view per session may find that inlining JavaScript and CSS results in faster end-user response times. For front pages that are typically the first of many page views, there are techniques that leverage the reduction of HTTP requests that inlining provides, as well as the caching benefits achieved through using external files. One such technique is to inline JavaScript and CSS in the front page, but dynamically download the external files after the page has finished loading. Subsequent pages would reference the external files that should already be in the browser's cache.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • CSS Sprites are the preferred method for reducing the number of image requests. Combine your background images into a single image and use the CSS background-image and background-position properties to display the desired image segment.

linux permissions basics tutorials

shared by Herb Tucker on 02 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • The UMASK value masks out the bits. The permissions that each position in the UMASK masks out are the same as the file permissions themselves. So, the left-most position masks out the owner permission, the middle position the group, and the right most masks out all others. If we have UMASK=007, the permissions for owner and group are not touched. However, for others, we have the value 7, which is obtained by setting all bits. Because this is a mask, all bits are unset. (The way I remember this is that the bits are inverted. Where it is set in the UMASK, it will be unset in the permissions, and vice versa.)
  • The problem many people have is that the umask command does not force permissions, but rather limits them
  • Therefore, setting the UMASK=007 does not force creation of executable programs, unless the program creating the file does itself).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • - - regular file c - character device b - block device d - directory p - named pipe l - symbolic link
  • Lets look at a more complicated example. Assume we have UMASK=047. If our program creates a file with permissions 777, then our UMASK does nothing to the first digit, but masks out the 4 from the second digit, giving us 3. Then, because the last digit of the UMASK is 7, this masks out everything, so the permissions here are 0. As a result, the permissions for the file are 730. However, if the program creates the file with permissions 666, the resulting permissions are 620. The easy way to figure out the effects of the UMASK are to subtract the UMASK from the default permissions that the program sets. (Note that all negative values become 0.)
  • You can change it anytime using the umask command. The syntax is simply umask <new_umask>
  • Here the <new_umask> can either be the numeric value (e.g., 007) or symbolic. For example, to set the umask to 047 using the symbolic notation, we have umask u=,g=r,o=rwx
  • Where "new_owner" is the name of the user account we want to sent the owner of the file to, and "filename" is the file we want to change. In addition, you can use chown to change not only the owner, but the group of the file as well. This has the general syntax: chown new_owner.new:group filename
  • Another useful trick is the ability to set the owner and group to the same ones as another file. This is done with the --reference= option, which sets to the name of the file you are referencing. If you want to change just the group, you can use the chgrp command, which has the same basic syntax as chown. Not that both chgrp and chmod can also take the --reference= option. Further, all three of these commands take the -R option, which recursively changes the permissions, owner or group.
