Cheesy does it!

Lots of people like to have a “Meet the Team” section on their website, so that their company isn’t simply a faceless organisation.

However, writing about yourself can be harder than you think. Whether you try to focus on professional qualifications or convey your personality, keep an eye out for these 4 common mistakes:

1.) Classic clichés.
‘Likes socialising with friends’ is another way of saying ‘isn’t really a bad-tempered, introverted hermit’. If you want to include some personal information, make it interesting. No-one’s so boring that their only good quality is that they’ve found at least one person in the world who isn’t repulsed by them.

2.) Getting too personal.
There are some things people just don’t want to know. If it’s not the sort of thing you’d share with your gran’s friend from church, keep it to yourself!

3.) Forgetting who you are.
A lot of people will start writing in the 3rd person, but slip into ‘me’s and ‘I’s before the paragraph is even over, and if you can’t remember who you are, your customer certainly won’t!

4.) Too much information.
Your entire personal history could probably fill the pages of a small novel – but this is a website, keep it short and sweet. People want to that your company is staffed by real people, but they don’t want to write your biography.

Remember, your “Meet the Team” section should provide your visitor with an honest reflection of your company’s style and personality – and the easiest way to do that is to just be yourself.

1. Cut out the other thousand things you were doing.

Why provide seventeen mediocre services when you can provide two that are fantastic?

Why have five processes for each order when you do it in three?

Why use ten web pages to say what you could say in two?

When you start a business, it’s common to lose focus. Your ideas and plans for the company often change and shift when you’re just starting up, and as a result, things often get overcomplicated.

At every stage, you will save money, time, and energy by keeping things simple.

Don’t try to do everything adequately.

Do one thing, and do it brilliantly.

With wide screens becoming ever more popular, so does the importance of assigning a width to websites. If you’re thinking of having your website expand to fit the width of the user’s screen, you may want to think again.

This won’t only be an ugly website to look at on certain screens, but can you imagine reading text on a widescreen monitor? Chances are you’ll get lost before finishing the line you’re on, and if you do manage to get halfway through a paragraph you’ll probably feel the need to claw your eyeballs out.

A safe max-width to work at for your website is 1000px, this should cater for the people whose monitors have a resolution of 1024px wide. The remaining 24px will come in use for the scroll bar that may appear on the right-hand side of the the browser.
