Worldwide online when approaching a project people seem sometimes classify problems facing Web site as a matter of technology. It is as if the construction of a website is this mysterious wrapped in so much technology thing is too handle. Just sitting in the Office technology provider gets nerve wracking. hearing all the techno geeks spitting after the abbreviation and acronym have no idea what everything means - html, Ajax, XML, HTTP, Java, ASP, .NET, Web services, Web 2.0, what that all means?
I'm here to say not to worry about all these acronyms, phrases and geeks tell you what to do, do what you know. Web sites is nothing else than a different way of doing your business.bricks and mortar are the traditional way, but they have something in common and it is the gens.Dans article, I am going to discuss community sites because they are a growing influence on the web and generate great interest.
Community. think you of when you hear the community? Community consider as your own hometown. Anyone who has played Sim City should have a notion of what it takes to build a community.If you you remember the game, you've had a few species build houses, roads and the services.Maintenant taking that on the web, you have little money to build a site, the network to the Internet connection and some features of the site. The site is your community and to build, you must provide a place for people to live.
Initially, in order to increase your community, you will need to provide a place for your users to vivre.Un site that is mostly static is pleasant to visit, but I do not wish to live there (its familiar?). You will need to provide something on your site to encourage people to want to live there. There are regular forums, profile pages, blogs and similar characteristics, it is a good start, it gives a person a place to live.
When you add these "life spaces" for your users, consider what they provide, at least they should provide your user community the opportunity to express themselves. As in any community whether offline or online want to express themselves and be distinguished from others in the crowd. They built this identity through the clothes they wear, driving cars and people whom they associate.Online, they do something similaire.ils create profiles, avatars to help them to connect with others who have similar interests. And just like in the physical communities go to churches, community activities and other places to build relationships with people who have similar interests. Do you the same on your Web site, but you must provide a way to make.So when they shop for interactive applications to ensure that they provide mechanisms for your users to build these relationships.
As a community grows it needs leadership and it is the same ligne.Par example, if your site becomes popular and forums, usually you'll see a few of your prominate jolie posters became in their activity, view frequently. By providing their with the moderator privileges or special designation allow you leaders to step up and provide the community with people who seem to have a link to the site and help the community of generation and participation. You could extend the concept of moderator to allow your users to host conversations online, or even participate in podcasts or weblog posts.
Time your site leaders will be go and come, and it will be for you to monitor site activity and to find leaders.In addition, it improves the Community aspect and allows your vibrant community.
Another thing to promote growth and participation is periodic contest, competition for some users have contributed content is ideal.For example, some sites have users submit stories, graphics as graphics humorous, fundamentally, it generates the content of your site, but still allows your population to contribute to the site.The cost is relatively low, and if you have the traffic you working relationships with sponsors provide the spoils to the winner.
The main idea of this article is community sites are not on the technology, they are about personnes.Découvrez what people like and their enabling of "clean" your site.Si you do, your site is certain to grow and prospérer.Bonne chance!
