 In this installment of Websites We Love, we asked our Internet Marketing Facebook communityhow they encourage their customers and/or Website visitors to get in touch with them. As usual, we received a number of awesome responses, but had to choose just ONE winner. This week's Website We Lovecomes from Erica Jayne Clavin, who thinks that when it comes to customers getting in contact with her, simple is sometimes best! "I encourage visitors to fill out a simple contact form connected to my website email," she says. |

When thinking about how to showcase all the great sites our customers build, we came up with a neat idea: ask our Internet Marketing Facebook Communityto share theirs! We received such a great response, we're turning it into a weekly feature. Every Wednesday, we'll highlight one awesome site here on the blog, and on our Facebook page.
As we mentioned, we received a ton of great responses, so it was very hard for us to choose justoneto highlight. Our first Website We Love comes from Lisa Draisey of |

Over the past few months you have given our team great feedback on our suite of Internet Marketing products and how we can improve them. We truly appreciate this feedback and it allows us to our products updated and fresh. We have recently rolled out two improvements to the photo functionality from this feedback and wanted to give you an overview of the changes.
Light-Boxes
Updating the light-boxes for single images was the first improvement we made. When a visitor to your site clicks on any of your images to “view larger,” they’ll see a light-box that highlights your picture. |

A few weeks ago, I posted some information about a new tool we added to the website builder: a Meta Tag editor. This may be new to many of you and you might be asking yourself some questions like, what are meta tags, what is Google Site Verification and how do I set it up? Or, how does this work with theVistaprint Search Engine Optimizer (SEO)?
What are meta tags?
Meta tags are HTML codes that are inserted into the header of a webpage. These tags are never seen by visitors to your site.

A website will almost always be a work in progress, launching one is not easy if you don't have the right tools and support. There are always tweaks to be made and changes that will affect the user experience, traffic and overall theme of the pages. But there are also a few key mistakes that people typically make when it comes to starting from scratch. This morning Jeremy and I sat down to go through some of these key mistakes and while it was originally a large list we have refined it down to these 10. |

 Last week, we ran a “Best Website” competition for your websites support team, where agents submitted sites that they cooked up themselves using the Vistaprint Site Builder. Pushing the team who serves you every day on the phones to design their best websites keeps their skills sharp for all your questions.  Damion took the design prize with www.theglasshouseja.com. Check out how he customized his site’s header and footer, used the forms extra to gather requests and comments from prospective customers, and showcased his products with image galleries. |

 Have you been sitting at your computer for hours trying to decide on the perfect domain name for your website? Have you came up with a domain name but didn’t think it was good enough? Oftentimes you’ll think you have the perfect name only to find out that someone else owns it and you have to start from scratch. A question I come across from customers is “How do I choose the perfect domain name?” As you create your websitechoosing your domain name is as important as designing your pages. |

 I’m often asked by small business owners why they need a website. I always start by letting them knowing that in this day and age if your business doesn’t have a website it doesn’t exist. A study run byeMarketerfound that 85% of people contact businesses that they find in local searches on theinternet, so if you’re serious about your business the question should be: “Howcan you affordNOTto have a website?” Get “out there” and gain credibility Many people search for a business online before ever picking up the phone or setting foot in a store. |
