Become.com is an online shopping megastore! They research the products for you, and you are able to purchase them from multiple stores all in the comfort of your own home with just a click. I just found out about become.com recently, and I have to say they carry just about anything you can imagine while staying fashion-forward and even offering eco-friendly items! I love eco-friendly items, as my resolution this year was to make 2012 a greener year! I think it's great that they offer everything in one place, so you don't have to rack your brain on wondering if you could have saved a few dollars elsewhere. This website truly is customer-friendly.
One of the great items I came across was window scenes by artist Louise Cartter. These adorable scenes hang on the wall and easily convert any city home to a beach view or even an Italian veranda. They definitely make for a relaxing home environment. I really liked the Tuscany Window Scene, as it reminded me of when we used to live in Italy. Each of the window scenes are hand finished and original prints from Louise Cartter.
I have to say, I love Zebra print as well. Zebra print seems to go with just about anything, and it's a little on the wild side! Become.com has a great variety of brown zebra chairs that I found absolutely adorable and chic. Sure to add some flair to your living room, I think these would be a great addition to even the most classic home. They even have zebra couches, for a matching set.
You just can't beat a website that does all the research and allows you to shop from the comfort of home in your own pajamas all while finding the best prices at the same time.
I highly suggest a visit, and enjoyed using Become.com.

Reasons for a Great Website Design
I know that many of us out there know the benefit of a great website design, because we have all been to what I call "the jam-packed page" that is just chalk full of text, ads, bad navigation, bright colors, unreadable text, etc. We all know "THAT" website.
I think it is important for readers to have a clear, easy, way to navigate through a webpage. They are visiting a site that I have provided, so I want them to have a good experience while they are there. I recently had my site made over for this very reason. I wanted a clean, concise layout - where items and pages were just a click away! I wanted my name to be able to be seen - without getting lost in the riffraff.
Easy webpage access will keep fans returning. If a webpage is an eyesore, it can be sure to lose fans - as they won't want to return to a website that isn't truly "unusable". Also, a clear view of your website name will keep your fans remembering you. If they aren't even sure what page they are on when they visit, chances are that your page will not be very memorable later on. You want them to recommend you to friends, and get the word for your site out there. A good layout and design is the perfect place to start catching eyes.
A good layout is also important, because you want your traffic to be able to find what you are posting. Afterall, the end goal is for someone to see your content. If content is hidden or buried, fans are likely to leave before you get a chance to truly show off your work.
If you would like my recommendation on a wonderful Web Design website (that I found easy to navigate and easy on the eyes) please visit Long Island Web Design for more details.

Website Building - My Story
So, I suppose in the blogging world, we all know how "fun" it can be to create a new website. I love a fresh new website, but I also know the downside. We have all been there, so we bought a domain....now what? ...Right? All dressed up and nowhere to go. Well, I thought I would share my first website buying experience with you:
I started out a bit naive in the world of website building. I thought you buy a website, and BAM you're done - there it is, fresh new page! I was aware that it would take some coding, but to completely start from scratch...I had no idea what I was doing. I purchased my domain, with no hosting. So, I had a website...but it wasn't even there. No one handed me the "how to" book, until it was too late. I eventually found out hosting was needed, but seeing as how I wanted a blog website - I then purchased the WRONG hosting. One oops after another. I was frustrated, and lost. After that, you would think I would have learned my lesson...nope. I was refunded for the wrong hosting I purchased, and forgot that by being refunded I would lose hosting...so, I purchased website designing through the company. ....so now I have website design capabilities, a domain, and no hosting! I'm glad I can laugh about it now, but talk about a HEADACHE and a half.
I think life would have been a lot easier, with an easy website builder to say the least.
