There are many reasons why your connection to the internet doesn't work or why your email doesn't seem to want to come into your inbox.

Here's a quick list of things to check before your call for your IT Technician:

How do you feel when you're trying to buy something in a shop and you get stuck with a sullen salesman?

You know the type: won't look you in the eye, mumbles answers to your questions, doesn't try to help you or give you any info about the product, isn't interested in your or your purchase...

Most people I know give up in frustration and anger. They leave and go buy the product somewhere else...

Is your website doing the same thing to your potential clients - chasing them away?

Expert language and translation services can save you a lot more than just money!

Mistakes caused by poor communication may, at best, give your client a good giggle at your expense. At worst they can make you look inept and cause you to lose money.

Most people who use a computer have heard the terms internet, service provider, e-mail and website. But a lot of confusion still seems to exist about exactly what each of these is and how they all link together.

This is a sad state of affairs and in the long run it can cause a firm that really needs a website to lose money.

The basic building blocks of any website are the following:

1. A domain name
2. The "look and feel" of the website (also called the design of the site)
3. The development of the site
4. The content to appear on the site
5. The layout of the content
6. The navigation / menu structure of the site (how to move between different pages, articles etc)
7. Hosting

A number of other aspects can also be added to a website to add to what it can do and to achieve special purposes (e.g. image gallery, forms, e-commerce, etc), but the above list contains the basics for any site.
