Web Site Statistics

As a part of the hosting package, WLP / FDR clients can access Urchin (version 5) site statistics software to monitor their site(s).

Caution: To access your site statistics, you must have an Urchin account username and password. If you do not currently have an Urchin account, contact us and we will set that up for you or assist you in accessing the page.

Urchin (version 5) provides excellent reporting on a daily basis at midnight by default. Reporting can be changed to a different time period - contact us to make this change.

Exchange Links for More Exposure

One of the best ways to get visitors to your site is to exchange links with similar sites. Also look for directory sites that will put up a link to your site. Southern Maryland Online is a good example and a worthwhile place to have a link for those organizations in the area.

 



Setup Your Email Account

Free e-mail accounts are available to WLP / FRD hosted clients. Caution is advised, since we are a small company, we do not offer screening services for email accounts. You will receive spam. Many of our clients prefer accounts with major vendors such as AOL, Starpower, RCN, etc. If you want to try an e-mail account in your WLP / FRD hosted domain account, such as Betty@yourdomain.com, email us and we can set that up.

Access Your Email Account

You can access your WLP / FDR-provided emails accounts through the online Imanager software. Username and password are required.

Hints for Great Looking Webpages that Load Quickly

There are many sources (authorities) with rules for designing web sites. I have found that most of the rules are frequently broken. Generally, you should keep page size, including all images, to no more than 35 KB. Below you will find my "Seven Deadly Web Site Sins".

  1. Inconsistent navigation
  2. Broken links
  3. Browser specific sites - “best viewed with Netscape”
  4. No contact information - not everyone has e-mail
  5. Frames
  6. Under construction sign
  7. Waving banners, cute little animals, etc.
