Author: 2.0 Web Design Effectiveness
Web 2.0 seems to be a popular buzz phrase this year. It has been given countless definitions. Web 2.0 has been defined as the Internet of a new age where web designs are very dynamic. It has been considered technology whose design elements is focused on ease of use and enhances connectivity and content sharing. Although an agreedupon definition has yet to be made clear one thing is for sure Web 2.0 along with its implications on web design is here to stay. Here is a brief summary of the design features of Web 2.0 sites and why the features result in welldesigned pages.
Centralized layout
One primary characteristic of Web 2.0 web designs is their use of just one central layout. This basically means the pages are centeraligned usually with inchwide margins on each side. The reason why this center layout is effective web design is that it is simple and focused. It draws viewers eyes straight to the heart of the page.
Keep it simple
2.0 web designs are always very simple. Similar to a site with a centralized layout simplydesigned pages keep viewers focus on content which is presumably the essence of every web site. Simplicity is achieved by removing unnecessary page elements. This of course must be done without sacrificing effectiveness. The only necessary visual details are the ones that are used to communicate the relevant information such as arrows that draw attention to important links.
Easy navigation
Navigation is an essential aspect of web design as users need to be able to move from page to page with ease. With the rise of Web 2.0 sites the importance of intuitive navigation has become increasingly important.
Web 2.0 sites usually employ a permanent navigation system meaning their navigation bars or panels are viewable all throughout the site. Not only are they visible the navigation bars look the same on every single page. This makes the navigation system clear and obvious.
Logos that make a statement
Web 2.0 sites are all about being bold. This is why they all use web designs with logos that make a bold statement no matter what the sites business is. These logos are generally large in size so as to really leave a lasting impression with site visitors. In addition web 2.0 logos are almost always recognizable and representative of what the site is all about.
Increased font sizes
Sites that employ a 2.0 web design make use of larger fonts compared to non2.0 sites. Not only is big text more eyecatching it is useful for those web users that only view a page for seconds before deciding if the sites content is what theyre looking for.

Creating Sub-Resellers With WHM Reseller Hosting
Smart resellers know how to make the most of their web space and to sell it in a way that attracts all kinds of people who may be interested. If you are a reseller you will want to attract “subresellers” and you can do this if you have sufficient command over the features that come with WHM reseller hosting.
WHM reseller hosting is a kind of hosting account that can only be purchased by resellers directly from a web host. WHM stands for “web host management” which in itself should describe its purpose. It is installed in a web host usually along with cPanel which is a web panel software which is actually another bestseller of the company that created WHM: cPanel.net.
While it makes sense for a reseller to target only a specific sector 8211; individual users who want to make personal websites or small business entrepreneurs who want to put up small online stores 8211; a service provider who aspires to become truly successful would know that branching out is essential to the growth of a business. And to branch out efficiently one needs to be able to market one’s services efficiently. After all reseller vendors are first and foremost marketers of web space that they do not personally own 8211; therefore markting skills are paramount.
But on top of being marketing professionals resellers are often service providers too. Smart resellers take it upon themselves to handle the customer relations end of the web host distribution business and take care of their customers’ needs. Now 8211; in case a customer wants to be able to “resell” web space at a truly optimum cost a reseller should be able to acknowledge this as an open market because there is a wealth of customers out there who want to be able to earn from their purchased web spaces at all by any way possible!
And above all else a reseller should not view these “subresellers” as competition. Subresellers serve to address the needs of other interested web space buyers while shouldering the cost of maintaining the web space they redistribute! Quite like the reseller does they sell web space at a profit while shouldering the agreedupon retail cost of the web space they already enjoy.
At any rate “subresellers” are not competition to legitimate reseller vendors on the strictest sense. WHM reseller hosting is only available to firstlevel resellers8230; which means “subresellers” will have to create user accounts only through the cPanel. WHM allows firstlevel reseller vendors to create user accounts for subresellers and subresellers can only make user accounts for other people who need to “squat” in their web space. Further sublevels of user accounts may not be generated.
