Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

Further clarifying a couple of items you had questions on.

• Broken link: click Services on the main nav and then click Our Web Services on the 2nd nav. There are tools that will crawl your site and tell you if you have broken links. Google for one and use it.
• Pdf link: Your link to the pdf is "http://www.getvive.com/index.php/page/downloadBrochure". That link does not end in ".pdf". because of that the browser tries to download the file instead of opening it directly in Acrobat reader. That is contrary to what, I believe, most users expect, which is a bad idea.

Also, to address the tone from some of you replies, what customers care about is business value. If you are unable to explain the value of each element on a site, then it is fluff and should be removed. Flash is traditionally expensive to develop and slow to load. I have only found a valid business reason to recommend Flash to a client on one occasion. That was to show an animated demonstration of a product. Flash was the obvious choice, not because it was neato, but because that is what it was built for.

Also, also, I just really noticed you tag line for the first time. It is my experience that business owners, in most cases, hire web professions because they don`t know what they want. That is, besides increased revenue. They are coming to you to help them understand what they want. Just my $.02.
