		<description><![CDATA[Having a print-friendly website can be a huge competitive advantage. If your website information prints out nicely, people will be impressed and they will be able to understand your offer so much better than the competition’s offer. As an example, I’ve frequently turned up at meetings with prospective web design clients who have printed out pages from this website and have commented on how nice it was to have them print out perfectly. So much easier to read and understand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are quite a number of ‘build it yourself’ website services that create the websites all in Flash, and I suspect many of the people signing up for these free and sometimes premium website services are either not aware that the site will be built in Flash (what’s that they wonder?) or if they are aware, they have no idea that the website will potentially hold them back online. Ok, so here are the reasons why a Flash website can be a disadvantage online.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more frustrating aspects of web design has been the lack of support for anything other than ‘web safe’ fonts. Hence the reason why so many websites were initially designed using Times New Roman, Georgia, or Arial (just a few of the most popular web safe font options).

		<description><![CDATA[You should always consider search engine optimisation (SEO) issues when drafting your website copy. My recommendation is that you write in a ‘natural style’ for your target audience, while keeping an eye on the keywords and phrases you use. It can be a delicate balance.
