Accessibility

Accessibility is important so that everyone can view your website and then you maximise the potential success of your business. Google recently changed there website so that there is only the main search bar visible and the rest of the features on the site become visible when you need them.

A client needs to be drawn into a site but more importantly needs to be able to clearly read the website information. A client can be anyone so it has to be able to be read clearly by anyone.

As a web designer if a website had a bad accessibility then that person could sue the web designer and this is obviously a stage better avoided.

Leadership task

The group was lead without a clear objective and this made most team members not knowing what they were doing there for. Pieces of work were then unfinished or were never used (research and a power point which took over half an hour to make were never implemented).

Many members seemed to not have a purpose and therefore did not contribute towards the group. However this may have been because of the huge amount of people assigned to one task.

The leadership directly was unorganised as a single decision never stayed the same and the objective changed every few seconds. Jobs were assigned but these quickly were reassigned I counted 8 different roles in one hour.

The engineering part went well as design and plans were drawn up so everyone could see the process through which it would be built.

I reckon to improve the task there should have been smaller groups so that every member would have a purpose and objectives could clearly be seen and met.

A leader would have to stand by a decision whatever the consequences so the group can see he is confident and the objective clearly seen.

Telaphone communication

Using the phone is properly is very important and is key to any job:

1. Prepare what you are going to say depending on who your going to speak to.
2. Introduce your self, who you are working for.
3. Use appropriate business language through out.
4. End the conversation politely.



Tips:
· Always, without fail, pick up the phone before the third ring and no longer.
· Show enthusiasm.

communication

Employees.org is now re-opened for logins.
We have done our best effort to recover user data off of /dev/ad4. I remind users we do NOT back up user data and the disaster recovery plan is to wipe the system and start anew. The latter almost happened today. If this is not acceptable to you, you may have outgrown what Employees.Org offers and should consider a commercial service.
There was some file corruption from /dev/ad4 that resulted in Mailman bouncing a lot of messages. You may want to restore your files from your backups.
Again, I want to remind users of our Lack of Backups and Disaster Recovery and our Lack of Service Guarantees.

Effective communication

The purpose of communication is to:

To inform- people about your point of view
To get a message across- to clearly show what you are trying to achieve
To attract attention- so you can get as many people as possible to know your point of view
To entertain- to keep people interested
To educate- so people understand your point of view
To persuade- into believing in your point of view


In a business effective communication is critical and the electronic and modern ways of communicating is taking the lead in the communication war.

Electronic communication like Email, test messaging, blogs and websites are used by the masses to communicate around the world between anyone and anywhere.

Printed media is now being outdated but only a few years ago people were mainly using newspapers, poster, reports, magazines, leaflets, brochures and flyers.

Voice media is another communication which is used, mainly by businesses. Things like telephone, face to face communication, radio, podcast are used to communicate with others and get a clear message across.

Newspaper:


Newspapers try and aim for a specific audience and try and portray a specific message.
Advertising in newspapers can vary from news paper to newspaper in style but they all follow the same format in trying to attract as many customers as possible, ads on the back page will be more expensive than those in the back. Depending on the audience of the newspaper then the ads can be placed elsewhere and still be effective like on the sports page of magazine that has an audience of men. Ads in newspapers reach a wide amount of people and are effective in this way.

Ads have to use there space wisely as buying a space is expensive and it has to attract customers. Some of the techniques used by companies are:
· Ads use contrasting colours from the rest of the paper to catch people’s eye.
· Large pictures relating to there product i.e. car
· Large, coloured, contrasting fonts.
· Slogans
· Pictures and phrases that relate to a large company like logos and “every little helps”
