Over the course of the week I come across a number of resources and articles which I feel would benefit online business owners, or those looking to start their online ecommerce business. Here are a few I've found this week...

How to pick the right name for your business Let's start at the very beginning, picking a name for your business.

This is an old tool, but a good one. When it comes to browser sizes it’s important to remember that not everyone has the same, whether you’ve got a widescreen monitor, a small monitor or view a browser through a screen projector. To this end when laying out a website it’s vital to bear in mind where key elements are positioned, such as a ‘Buy now’ button or any other call to action. Google have created a tool to help website owners see how much of their website their visitors can see depending on their browser size: https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-labs-sign-up/. The main aim of this tool is to allow website owners to improve conversion rates and engagement. Have a go with your website and see if it’s optimised for the average browser size.
