10 Best Practices For a Better Website
Reposted from The SMB Research Blog…
Have you read enough pieces yet on what makes a great website?
You have probably seen quite a few articles and posts addressing this. We here at SMB Research know we have seen a lot of material. (SMB Research includes at least one fairly good article on SMB Research’s Top 20 Favorite Reads of 2010.)
Many of these articles seem to take a cookie-cutter approach: it should go without saying at this point that a website needs to have good navigation, and that a website needs a “Call to Action”.
We think there are a number of other critical website features and best practices that get too little attention.
SMB Research’s Top 20 Favorite Reads of 2010
What was the best SMB or technology-related piece you read this past year?
When we at SMB Research started talking a few weeks ago about what we thought were some of the most interesting and valuable articles from 2010, we realized that once again this year there has been a great deal of very good (however you define this) research and writing. If you struggle to find the time to read to read everything that deserves your attention, we share your pain.
To help you out, SMB Research decided to take a look back at some of what has been written and published this past year, and to identify some of our favorite reads.
SMB Research’s Top 20 Favorite Reads, 2010:
Princeton New Year’s Invitational Competition
New post over at the (unaffiliated) Saint Joseph’s University Track & Field and XCountry website, http://sjutrackxcountry.wordpress.com. (I am not an alumnus, just a fan, and a Saint Joseph’s University parent.)
St Joseph’s University Cross Country at Van Cortlandt Park
Nancy and I traveled to New York City on Saturday (20th) to watch the St Joseph’s University’s (almost) last Cross Country meet for the season: the IC4A / ECAC (InterCollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America) / (Eastern College Athletic conference) at Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, New York.

Great Learnings from Boston’s Small Business of the Year Awards
SMB Research was very pleased to be able to attend the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s 26th Annual Small Business of the Year Awards yesterday (Oct 14, 2010) at the Colonnade Hotel. Emceed by WBZ Radio’s co-Anchor of “WBZ Morning News” Ed Walsh, the event itself was flawlessly put together and efficiently executed, for a very enjoyable event. Better yet, the winner’s stories and remarks were compelling and inspiring.
