Webmaster Tool Box
By Sharon Housley (c) 2009
|
Here is a collection of what we consider "must have" tools for
webmasters. These tools will benefit any webmaster, both novices
and experts alike. Arm yourself with these tools in order to
achieve a more professional online presence.
1. Custom 404 Page
Use a custom 404 page, so that if a user incorrectly types a
webpage URL, they will still retain navigational options within
your site and be provided alternative solutions. When a domain
is correctly entered, but a specific webpage's URL is entered
incorrectly, it is possible to display your own custom error
page to the visitor. By providing users with a navigational bar
and further assistance, rather than leaving them with a generic
"page not found" error screen, you can often keep prospective
customers on your site by providing them with navigation
alternatives.

2. UrlTrends
UrlTrends is a service that shows historical trends, so that
webmasters can see how their SEO efforts are affecting websites
in the search engines. UrlTrends should be used in conjunction
with web-logging software.
UrlTrends - www.urltrends.com
3. Favicon
Polish your website by adding a Favorite Icon. When a "favicon"
is available on your site, and the site URL is entered in the
user's web browser URL box, the favicon will be displayed beside
the URL. This gives the website a more professional and polished
look.
Favicon HTMLKit - www.htmlkit.com
4. Color Matching
Match the primary web colors with those used in your logo.
Simply choose a preferred color using the ColorBlender service
below, and a 6-color matching palette and blend will be
automatically calculated for you.
ColorBlender - www.colorblender.com
5. Online WYSIWYG Editing
Online webpage editing allows for collaboration, so that
different users can log in and edit web pages.
Edit - www.edit.com
6. RSS Feeds
No longer considered to be just a nice addition, RSS feeds are
now a "must have" for popular websites! Create RSS feeds for
newsletters, press releases, educational articles, product
tutorials, new product promotions, or just about any other sort
of web content.
FeedForAll - www.feedforall.com

7. MaxEmail
MaxEmail's very affordable Internet fax and voicemail service
allows a fax message to be delivered to an email address as a
PDF formatted attachment. This allows fax messages to follow you
regardless of your location. And, it also eliminates the need
for a costly extra telephone line and a dedicated fax machine.

royalty-free stock photography to add professional, high-quality
images to your website.
