How do I communicate my website updates with my developer?



Clients often feel like they don't know the "right language" to talk with their website developer. I try my best to make you feel understood and to portray information to you in a way anyone can understand. 

When completing projects such as a website update it is important for the website developer to execute their ideas in a way your website visitors will benefit from. This can usually be done in writing by email, but there are times when a photo is better. Screenshots of the area you are referring to can be very helpful to show the place on your website where you want to make an update. Being able to add notes to a screenshot can be even better to be able to add your comments and arrows to the exact place you are referring too, to make things crystal clear. 

There's a little free program that I have been using for years for when I need to share ideas or information with a client. It's called Tiny Take and it's basically a glorified screen capturing program with extra bells and whistles that can make things easier. 

All you need to do is download and install it from www.TinyTake.com and install the program.


How it works...

1. Open the screen you want to share with me or anyone.
2. Open the Tiny Take
3. Hover over the green "capture" button.
4. Then click on the "Capture Reign" in the drop-down
5. Click and drag over the screen area that you want to share.
6. Then click on the "T with the arrow" in the toolbar and drag it to the area you want to make a comment on and type your suggestion.
7. You don't even need to save this image. Just go to "more" at the top right and choose "Copy to Clipboard"
8. Then open a compose window in your email program and paste this into the body of your message and send it to anyone you need to.
It's so easy, and such a time saver that can be used for all kinds of things.

I like to put the icon on my taskbar so it's easy to get to.

Enjoy!

Comment on Facebook as your business page

  A client asked me the other day... How do I like or comment on a post as my business page and not as my personal profile? Good question! In this case, the post was positive feedback about his business and it just makes sense to respond as your page. This is something that we should think about not only for your likes but your comments and shares as well. The solution is easy, but not clear to see. All you need to do is click on this tiny profile picture in the lower right-hand corner and change it from your profile to your page, then proceed with the action you would like to make. Easy peasy!
