50 Critical Questions about your Web Site plus Chuck update
This is an older post – from 2007, in fact – but it’s fantastic. Take the time to read and answer these questions about your site. Seriously, why are you still reading this when you should have clicked the link?
50 Critical Questions about your Web Site
Also, sorry for not posting for so long. After the Miva Merchant User Conference I stayed in San Diego for a week to do some business (like see the Miva Merchant corporate offices for the first time), and then flew to Kauai for a three week stay, where I am now. I’m still doing some work, but, you know, it’s Kauai, so it’s hard! I’ll be more active this coming week, though. Drop me an email if you need anything.

Attend the Miva Merchant Conference for only $299
Chuck Lasker is a speaker and MerchantTutorials.com is a sponsor of the 2009 Miva Merchant Conference in San Diego February 26-March1, 2009. Sign up before February 15th for only $299 and save $100!
I have attended many of these annual conferences and I can tell you it’s worth it for users, store owners, developers, consultants and anyone else who uses Miva Merchant on a regular basis. The classes this year look even better than last year’s, with a ton of hands-on help to focus on what the attendees are needing help with. The conference is a day longer, too, for more learning opportunities. This comes from company management listening to suggestions from last year!
The networking opportunities are very helpful, too. If you use modules, you can actually speak with the module developers. If you’re looking for a consultant, all the consultants worth hiring will be there. And this is an opportunity to speak directly to the top management of Miva Merchant about any problems, issues or feature requests.
