Pimp My Website

Let Me Explain What I Mean

Goals
This talk won’t make you rich
This talk won’t restore your car
You can’t learn Photoshop in 75 Minutes
Ditto for Illustrator
But you can learn to expand your mind
And get Inspired

But Why?
Time = Money
Pimping consumes time
Therefore:
Pimping my web site costs money
Money is tight now, you know.

Everyone Has a Website Now

Crush the Competition

Have a Strategy

Remember Usability Trumps All
People come to your site to do something, not to sit in awe of your animation skills or command of creating gradients.

Gel Buttons Only Go So Far
