Re: FLASH: Re: OT: confused about Jeremy

James,

one of the biggest reasons to why an "under construction" page is a no-no on the

Internet is that every web site, every web page, in a sense is always 'under

construction'. So in a sense; it's redundant...


It we're talking about a link of an already existing web site, then naturally

don't include that link at all.


However, for a splash page, I suggest you do the following;

Just post a message saying:



 "Coming soon to a computer near you -

       C O M P A N Y  N A M E -

Opens xx/xx/xxxx (the date it will be up and running)

  E-mail for

infocompanyname [dot] com

"



That's what I do and I think it works great. The key here is to

let people know WHEN it will be up. And then keep that date.


/ Max
