Report: NSA developing quantum computer that could crack most encryption

By End the Lie

The National Security Agency (NSA) is currently developing a quantum computer capable of cracking almost every type of encryption, according to documents provided to The Washignton Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

This comes after it was revealed that the NSA has backdoor access to the iPhone, places backdoors in electronics produced by companies like Cisco and Dell and intercepts electronics shipments to install surveillance software and hardware.

The latest report published by the Post on Thursday states that the agency’s question to build “a cryptologically useful quantum computer” is part of the $ 79.7 million “Penetrating Hard Targets” research program.

Most of the work is reportedly carried out under classified contracts at a lab in College Park, Maryland.

The quantum computer, a machine far more powerful than the fastest traditional computer, could be able to break “nearly every kind of encryption used to protect banking, medical, business and government records around the world,” according to the Post.

One major security company, however, was tied to the NSA with a  $ 10 million contract, apparently part of an arrangement making it easier for the agency to crack their encryption.

Reports in September also stated that NSA and its British counterpart GCHQ crack encryption and covertly influence companies.

While the NSA is seeking to develop this code-cracking quantum computer, some say the agency is actually far from obtaining their goal.

“It seems improbable that the NSA could be that far ahead of the open world without anybody knowing it,” Scott Aaronson, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT, said to the Post.

Indeed, the paper reports “the documents provided by Snowden suggest that the NSA is no closer to success than others in the scientific community.”

The agency has the goal of demonstrating “dynamical decoupling and complete quantum control on two semiconductor qubits” by the end of September, according to the documents.

For more info on how a quantum computer works and what a “qubit” is, see the below video:

“This will enable initial scaling towards large systems in related and follow-on efforts,” the document states.

Yet the agency is reportedly pouring tens of millions of dollars into developing a quantum computer capable of breaking even the most complex methods of encryption.

Another project, separate from “Penetrating Hard Targets,” called “Owning the Net,” is using quantum research to create new attacks on some of today’s most secure encryption methods.

“The irony of quantum computing is that if you can imagine someone building a quantum computer that can break encryption a few decades into the future, then you need to be worried right now,” said Daniel Lidar, professor of electrical engineering and the director of the Center for Quantum Information Science and Technology at the University of Southern California.

Apparently, the NSA is indeed worried right now.

“The application of quantum technologies to encryption algorithms threatens to dramatically impact the US government’s ability to both protect its communications and eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments,” an internal NSA document provided by Snowden states.

Just how long it will be until this type of technology is a reality remains to be seen. University of Manchester professor Jeff Forshaw told the Guardian last year that it is “probably too soon to speculate on when the first full-scale quantum computer will be built but recent progress indicates that there is every reason to be optimistic.”

Seth Lloyd, professor of quantum mechanical engineering at MIT, told the Post that he thinks the type of quantum computer the NSA desires will take at least five years to develop.

Without a major breakthrough, it may take much longer, Lloyd told the Post in a recent interview.

Yet a small quantum computer was already sold to a consortium made up of Google, NASA and the Universities Space Research Association for $ 10 million by D-Wave Systems, a Canadian company, in 2012.

D-Wave Systems said they have been making quantum computers since 2009 and reports state that they also sold machines to Lockheed Martin.

The NSA has remained silent on the matter, declining to comment for the Post and The Hill.

Judge Rules Computer Searches, Seizures Legal at US Borders

The Department of Homeland Security can keep searching laptop computers at the nation’s borders, a federal judge has ruled in his dismissal of a lawsuit filed by civil-liberties groups that had contended the practice was unconstitutional.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed their lawsuit challenging the DHS policy in 2010, The Hill reported. The policy allowed searches even if there was no suspicion of illegality.

Officials at the border search and copy contents of people’s laptop computers and other devices thousands of times a year, government documents say. Travelers may be detained for short periods of time even if there is no reasonable suspicion they have broken a law.

But while the ACLU and other groups say such searches violate Americans’ protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, Judge Edward Korman said there are exceptions when an international border is involved.

Further, he said, people such as journalists, lawyers, and others should not expect their sensitive information to be protected while they are traveling abroad, The Huffington Post reported.

The ACLU filed the lawsuit on the behalf of French-American Pascal Abidor, whose laptop was confiscated at the Canadian border, for the National Press Photographers Association.

Korman said the groups suing to stop the DHS searches did not face a “substantial risk that their electronic devices will be subject to a search or seizure without reasonable suspicion.”

Further, Korman said, policies for border agents are sensitive to privacy and confidentiality issues, and “contain significant precautionary measures to be taken with respect to the handling of privileged and other sensitive materials.”

Abidor said his personal files were searched while Border Patrol officials had his laptop for 11 days.

Korman, though, ruled that the agents had “reasonable suspicion” to search the files, because the man had recently returned from Lebanon and had photos of rallies by terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas. Abidor at the time was a McGill University doctoral student.

Computer users should also expect searches on trips overseas, such as to the United Kingdom, where former Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald’s partner David Miranda was stopped recently so agents could search his storage devices, The Huffington Post reported.

“This is enough to suggest that it would be foolish, if not irresponsible, for plaintiffs to store truly private or confidential information on electronic devices that are carried and used overseas,” Korman wrote.

The ACLU is considering an appeal. Attorney Catherine Crump said the judge’s decision was disappointing, but “these searches are part of a broader pattern of aggressive government surveillance that collects information on too many innocent people, under lax standards, and without adequate oversight.”

NSA: Not Only Snooping But Infecting Computer Networks Worldwide

Kurt Nimmo

November 23, 2013

Not only does the NSA snoop your personal communications, the agency also excels at infecting computer networks with malicious software.

Recently discovered Snowden information reveals the NSA infected more than 50,000 computer networks worldwide with malware, the Dutch news outlet NRC.nl reports.

Edward Snowden, the former NSA analyst roundly excoriated by government as a dangerous leaker, has revealed that more than 50,000 computer networks worldwide have been infected.

A management presentation shows how the surveillance agency uses “Computer Network Exploitation” (CNE) in more than 50,000 locations. “CNE is the secret infiltration of computer systems achieved by installing malware, malicious software,” reports the Dutch website, NRC.nl.

The NSA has a special department dedicated to malicious hacking. Tailored Access Operation, or TAO, has more than a thousand hackers hired to go after targeted networks.

In August, the Washington Post reported that TAO had installed an estimated 20,000 “implants” beginning in 2008 and by the middle of last year the number had jumped to 50,000. The implants act as “sleeper cells” that are controlled at will.

“Computer hacks are relatively inexpensive and provide the NSA with opportunities to obtain information that they otherwise would not have access to,” write Floor Boon, Steven Derix and Huib Modderkolk. “The NSA-presentation shows their CNE-operations in countries such as Venezuela and Brazil. The malware installed in these countries can remain active for years without being detected.”

NSA referred inquiries about the revelations to the U.S. government. A government spokesperson said the disclosure of classified information endangers U.S. national security.

NSA: Not Only Snooping But Infecting Computer Networks Worldwide

German ‘Biohacker’ Implants Massive Computer Chip In Forearm

Mikael Thalen
StoryLeak.com
November 1, 2013

German biohacker and transhumanist Tim Cannon may be the first known human to implant a computer chip capable of transmitting biometrical data to an android device.

During an interview with Motherboard Magazine, the “Circadia 1.0,” an open-source device capable of recording and transmitting body temperature over Bluetooth, was successfully implanted into Cannon’s left forearm.

Built by Cannon and his business associates at Grindhouse Wetware, a company focused on “merging man and machine,” the large chip was implanted by body modifier Steve Haworth without the use of anesthesia. The battery powered device, enclosed in a protective case, is charged wirelessly through the use of a charging coil placed against the skin.

“Instead of taking snapshots of your health by visiting a doctor, you can aggregate weeks or months of medical data that you can store for your personal viewing. Messages, warnings, or texts from your android phone to Circadia implant can be displayed via LEDs through your skin,” the device description reads.

Cannon says the device will allow him to study what causes his temperature to fall or rise, with a later upgrade configuration allowing text messages to be sent if his temperature begins reaching 100 degrees °F.

Chip capable of transmitting biometrical data to an android device.

“The human body is really really failing in almost every way,” Cannon says. “I want to live to be thousands of years old. I don’t want to die. I don’t know why anybody would.”

Leaders in the transhumanist movement such as Google’s director of engineering Ray Kurzweil predict that the human body will be completely replaced by machines by the end of the century, with human minds uploaded to computers by the year 2045.

Others such as Russian millionaire Dmitry Itskov believe that immortality through placing human brains in controllable robot bodies, also referred to as the “singularity,” will be reached in as little as 25 years.

During the Global Futures 2045 International Congress in New York last June, Kurzweil laid out his predictions of the march towards singularity in detail.

“We’re going to become increasingly non-biological to the point where the non-biological part dominates and the biological part is not important any more. In fact the non-biological part – the machine part – will be so powerful it can completely model and understand the biological part, Kurzweil said. “So even if that biological part went away it wouldn’t make any difference.”

While the push towards immortality is praised by some, many see a much darker outcome, with such future technologies controlled by a wealthy few as average humans become increasingly irrelevant to the “transhumanist utopia.”

“While everyone would welcome some of the technological advancements predicted by Kurzweil, most notably the virtual elimination of all diseases, his fixation with cheating death by achieving technological singularity has several dark spiritual and practical overtones that have not been properly debated,” Infowars writer Paul Joseph Watson notes. “Moral considerations are once again being cast aside in the feverish pursuit of technological progress at all costs.”

The U.S. government now plans to spend $ 70 million over the next five years to fund the Systems-Based Neurotechnology for Emerging Therapies project, a surgically implanted brain pacemaker that will monitor the mental health and brainwaves of soldiers and veterans in real time.

Computer cracks CAPTCHAs in step toward artificial intelligence

By Sharon Begley


NEW YORK | Mon Oct 28, 2013 12:01am EDT





NEW YORK (Reuters) – A technology start-up said on Monday that it had come up with software that works like a human brain in one key way: it can crack CAPTCHAs, the strings of tilted, squiggly letters that websites employ to make users “prove you are human,” as Yahoo! and others put it.




San Francisco-based Vicarious developed the algorithm not for any nefarious purpose and not even to sell, said co-founder D. Scott Phoenix.




Instead, he said in a phone interview, “We wanted to show we could take the first step toward a machine that works like a human brain, and that we are the best place in the world to do artificial intelligence research.”




The company has not submitted a paper describing its methodology to an academic journal, which makes it difficult for outside experts to evaluate the claim. Vicarious offers a demonstration of its technology at vicarious.com, showing its algorithm breaking CAPTCHAs from Google and eBay’s PayPal, among others, but at least one expert was not impressed.




“CAPTCHAs have been around since 2000, and since 2003 there have been stories every six months claiming that computers can break them,” said computer scientist Luis von Ahn of Carnegie Mellon University, a co-developer of CAPTCHAs and founder of tech start-up reCAPTCHA, which he sold to Google in 2009. “Even if it happens with letters, CAPTCHAs will use something else, like pictures” that only humans can identify against a distorting background.




CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. They are based on the standard set in 1950 by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950: a machine can be deemed intelligent only if its performance is indistinguishable from a person’s.




CAPTCHAs serve that function: in order to sign up for free email, post comments, buy tickets or other online activities, more than 100,000 websites require users to prove they are human by deciphering the squiggly letters, which are often blurred, smeared and cluttered with dots and lines.




In practice, someone trying to break CAPTCHAs in order to do what a site is trying to deter – sign up for umpteen email accounts, for instance – can easily hire someone to accomplish that. “Most CAPTCHAs now are broken by paying people in Bangladesh to do it manually,” said computer scientist Greg Mori of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, an expert on machine learning and computer vision. “For 50 cents an hour, you can get someone to break seven per minute.”




DIGITIZING BOOKS?




Developing software to break CAPTCHAs would in theory speed that up exponentially. Vicarious said its algorithm achieves success rates of 90 to 97 percent, depending on the difficulty of the CAPTCHA; a CAPTCHA scheme is considered broken if a machine can break just 1 percent of the ones it generates.




That makes “text-based CAPTCHAs no longer effective as a Turing test,” the company said in a statement, meaning that CAPTCHAs can no longer be used to tell human from machine.




That might be beneficial, experts said. Google’s reCAPTCHA uses words from old books and other publications that have been optically scanned but are difficult to digitize because they are so degraded. “If you can actually solve reCAPTCHAs, you can digitize old books more easily,” said Mori.




In addition, the algorithm Vicarious uses to break CAPTCHAs might be deployed more widely.




“If they’ve done it, it could improve the reliability of optical character recognition like that used in banks to scan checks and by the IRS (Internal Revenue Agency) to read scanned documents,” said Karl Groves, an independent website developer who for years has tracked claims about breaking CAPTCHAs.




The feat required relatively tiny amounts of data and computing power, Vicarious said, instead using algorithms that mimic the perceptual and cognitive abilities of the human brain.




The company has described only in general terms what it hopes to use artificial intelligence for, describing its goals as building a vision system modeled on the human brain and developing human-level artificial intelligence based on what it calls a “recursive cortical network,” for applications in robotics, medical image analysis, image and video search, and other fields.




That has been sufficient to attract more than $ 15 million in funding from investors including Facebook co-founder and Vicarious board member Dustin Moskovitz. In a statement, he said, “We should be careful not to underestimate the significance of Vicarious crossing this milestone,” adding that the company is “at the forefront of building the first truly intelligent machines.”

VPN service CryptoSeal followed Lavabit in pulling the plug, fearing running afoul of US authorities. Ryan Lackey, co-founder of the computer firm, told RT about the current climate where people can be put behind bars just for running their businesses.

In August, the highly-encrypted email service Lavabit reportedly used by NSA leaker Edward Snowden went offline after it was ordered by a court to turn over its Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) private key – a cryptographic protocol designed to facilitate communication security over the internet – to the FBI.

The company objected, saying the key would grant the government access to communications by all 400,000 of its customers. Lavabit offered instead to add code to his servers which would provide the FBI the necessary information only for the target of the order. According to unsealed documents from the Federal District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, released earlier this month, the court rejected the offer, demanding that Lavabit hand over the SSL key or face a $ 5,000-per-day fine.
 
Fearing the legal precedent set by the Lavabit case, CryptoSeal followed suit earlier this week, saying it would be impossible to comply with a government order without turning over the crypto keys to its entire system.

RT: Tell us how your relationship with the National Security Agency unfolded?

Ryan Lackey: Well, we don’t really have a relationship with them. We just monitor the news and ran a service under what we believed was the law, where they would require a search warrant to extract [cryptographic] keys. It turns out that under the Lavabit case, they can use a pen register order or a D order, which is a much lower standard, to compel a provider to turn over keys. We can’t really operate in that environment, so we pre-emptively shut the service down; it was too risky to operate.

RT: We’ve spoken to the head of the secure email service used by Edward Snowden, Lavabit, on his experience dealing with the NSA. Let’s take a listen quickly:

“I know they threatened me on more than one occasion with jail. I think the only reason they didn’t do it is because if they had, the service would have eventually shut down on its own with nobody to maintain it. And the only reason they didn’t arrest me after the shutdown was because of the media, the publicity. But it’s pretty scary to think about what lengths they’re willing to go to conduct these investigations.”

In that clip, he did say he’d experienced threats. Did you encounter any such threats?

RL: We haven’t experienced any threats. We certainly were compliant with US law and we always want to stay on the right side of US law. We just think in the case that the court rulings, the preliminary rulings are incorrect, and they’ll probably be overturned on appeal, or possibly by legislative change. But that’s not going to happen possibly for months or years, and in the interim it’s too scary. I fully agree with the operator of Lavabit: being threatened with jail or prison for running a computer service for people is a very, very scary proposition and I personally have no interest in going to prison.

RT: What then protects online services like yourself or Lavabit from being prosecuted for providing your service to people like Edward Snowden, whom you have nothing to do with? As for whistleblowers, how are they to be protected?

RL: The fourth amendment of the US Constitution is supposed to be protection against general warrants, which is what I believe the Lavabit case is about. There is supposed to be a very specific legal standard, where they need evidence about a specific person and a specific crime. They bring that to a provider, and then they can then get records, which has previously been the case. But in this case, they don’t appear to have followed that, and there is at least one judge who is willing to compel a provider to operate in violation of what I believe to be the US Constitution. So until that’s resolved, it’s very scary.

RT:  Let’s talk about the mass surveillance that is happening not only in America, but around the world. Who should be held responsible for such extensive surveillance on members of other peoples’ parliaments or even the public themselves?

RL: It’s unclear. I believe it is fairly standard for intelligence agencies to monitor foreign intelligence agencies or foreign militaries, and heads of state are certainly part of the military. But when it comes to monitoring private citizens and private businesses that aren’t involved in any sort of defense or national security, I think there needs to be a much higher level of protection. Certainly US persons in the United States should not be in risk of being monitored by the NSA except in truly exceptional circumstances like a terrorist plot. Private citizens in other countries should not be at risk of being monitored by intelligence agencies from any country. Private citizens doing their own thing and not involved in terrorism, not involved in the military or government, should be fully protected from this.

RT: How do you think the ongoing scandal will reshape the internet as we know it?

RL: I think the internet is ultimately just a system where people in many countries cooperate, so it really depends on the laws in each country. I think the United States, from a constitutional perspective, has strong protections, but there has been a weakening over time through court rulings. The problem is, when you have a bad case and a bad defendant, it tends to make bad law. A lot of the US cases involve very bad people, child pornography or other cases like that, and the judges are sort of willing to overlook the fundamental privacy issues and make rulings that are very favorable to the government, whereas in the abstract it’s a very bad idea.

In other countries, they do not have as strong protections. It’s going to be interesting to see other countries that have different levels of protection for privacy to operate on the internet. Part of that might be technology. We’re going to have stronger technical protections for privacy, so perhaps people will operate in countries where the laws might say one thing… and it’s very unclear if you’re the citizen of one country and you’re visiting another country what the legal standard really needs to be to turn over your records.

We can’t really operate in that environment, so we pre-emptively shut the service down; it was too risky to operate.

RT: We’ve spoken to the head of the secure email service used by Edward Snowden, Lavabit, on his experience dealing with the NSA. Let’s take a listen quickly:

“I know they threatened me on more than one occasion with jail. I think the only reason they didn’t do it is because if they had, the service would have eventually shut down on its own with nobody to maintain it. And the only reason they didn’t arrest me after the shutdown was because of the media, the publicity. But it’s pretty scary to think about what lengths they’re willing to go to conduct these investigations.”

In that clip, he did say he’d experienced threats. Did you encounter any such threats?

RL: We haven’t experienced any threats. We certainly were compliant with US law and we always want to stay on the right side of US law. We just think in the case that the court rulings, the preliminary rulings are incorrect, and they’ll probably be overturned on appeal, or possibly by legislative change. But that’s not going to happen possibly for months or years, and in the interim it’s too scary. I fully agree with the operator of Lavabit: being threatened with jail or prison for running a computer service for people is a very, very scary proposition and I personally have no interest in going to prison.

RT: What then protects online services like yourself or Lavabit from being prosecuted for providing your service to people like Edward Snowden, whom you have nothing to do with? As for whistleblowers, how are they to be protected?

RL: The fourth amendment of the US Constitution is supposed to be protection against general warrants, which is what I believe the Lavabit case is about. There is supposed to be a very specific legal standard, where they need evidence about a specific person and a specific crime. They bring that to a provider, and then they can then get records, which has previously been the case. But in this case, they don’t appear to have followed that, and there is at least one judge who is willing to compel a provider to operate in violation of what I believe to be the US Constitution. So until that’s resolved, it’s very scary.

RT:  Let’s talk about the mass surveillance that is happening not only in America, but around the world. Who should be held responsible for such extensive surveillance on members of other peoples’ parliaments or even the public themselves?

RL: It’s unclear. I believe it is fairly standard for intelligence agencies to monitor foreign intelligence agencies or foreign militaries, and heads of state are certainly part of the military. But when it comes to monitoring private citizens and private businesses that aren’t involved in any sort of defense or national security, I think there needs to be a much higher level of protection. Certainly US persons in the United States should not be in risk of being monitored by the NSA except in truly exceptional circumstances like a terrorist plot. Private citizens in other countries should not be at risk of being monitored by intelligence agencies from any country. Private citizens doing their own thing and not involved in terrorism, not involved in the military or government, should be fully protected from this.

RT: How do you think the ongoing scandal will reshape the internet as we know it?

RL: I think the internet is ultimately just a system where people in many countries cooperate, so it really depends on the laws in each country. I think the United States, from a constitutional perspective, has strong protections, but there has been a weakening over time through court rulings. The problem is, when you have a bad case and a bad defendant, it tends to make bad law. A lot of the US cases involve very bad people, child pornography or other cases like that, and the judges are sort of willing to overlook the fundamental privacy issues and make rulings that are very favorable to the government, whereas in the abstract it’s a very bad idea.

In other countries, they do not have as strong protections. It’s going to be interesting to see other countries that have different levels of protection for privacy to operate on the internet. Part of that might be technology. We’re going to have stronger technical protections for privacy, so perhaps people will operate in countries where the laws might say one thing… and it’s very unclear if you’re the citizen of one country and you’re visiting another country what the legal standard really needs to be to turn over your records.

“Computer Chess” director: “I’m fixated on outdated technology”

“Computer Chess” may be the strangest — and most wondrous — film of the year so far, and its director, Andrew Bujalski, doesn’t think it has much to do with chess.

The film takes place at an early-’80s computer-chess tournament, at which different programmers’ chess-playing machines go head to head over the course of a weekend. It takes the form, for much of its running time, of fake found footage from an old video camera, an aesthetic Andrew O’Hehir described as “deliberately unlovely.”

With the tension of actual chess-playing removed from the convention — the machines, until one begins to display an unsettling intelligence, are just acting according to their design, and nothing the programmers do can change the outcome of the tournament now — there’s time for a group of indoor kids to run wild in a depressing motel, taking drugs and wandering upon other folks at the hotel, swingers undergoing a sort of New Age revival meeting.

Knowing How To Web Design Very Productively

Many people build websites to generate money by including advertisements on their pages, but most people do not reali e it can be distracting. If you know how to lay out the ads correctly on each page, then your visitors are more likely to click on them. Continue on to the article below that will give you some great web design tips for advertising.

Create webpages that are \”scannable\”. Reading online is different than reading a newspaper or a book. By default, site visitors scan webpages, looking for anything that stands out. Make sure your pages have lists, bolded words, titles, and short blocks of text. That way, your site will \”feel better\” to site visitors, enticing them to stay on your site.

Don\’t load rich content automatically. Rich content mainly refers to music and videos, but anything other than text or graphics qualifies. Many people browse in work environments where sounds suddenly playing is a big problem. Also, many people find such rich content annoying in general. Rich content should require some interaction from the user before playing.

Even if you know how to design sites for the web you still have much to learn. Everyone today is using mobile devices so this means that there is a higher demand for making sites mobile compatible. Start learning how to build mobile sites so that you\’re knowledgable of how to build various types of websites.

To ensure stability with your site make sure that you take every precaution to not overload your site with too much content on it at once. You want each page to have just the right amount of information so that people will keep coming back for more after they leave.

Try your best to update the content of any old sites that you have. You want to make sure that any of the sites you build seem like they\’re up to date with the technology that is out today – you don\’t want a site that looks 10 years old.

When designing your website, you should utili e cascading style sheets, or CSS. These style sheets can be applied to every webpage on your website, and will ensure that the user experience is consistent throughout the website. They are also effective for making quick design changes to your website due to the fact that you only need to change the style sheet as opposed to making alterations on every webpage.

If you plan on having a commercial site, you should seriously consider buying your own web hosting. Most free host sites force you to display their advertisements, which is counter-intuitive if you are attempting to sell something as well. Purchase your own hosting to avoid this advertising hassle, so that you can choose your own ads.

When designing your website, it is a good idea not to stray too far from popular conventions. For example, most users expect that when they click on the website logo at the top of a webpage, they will be taken to the home page of the website. If your website behaves differently, it can confuse the user. In many cases, straying from such conventions can lead to a poor overall user experience.

To help your visitors be able to easily read your site, you should design it using contrasting colors. If you use colors that contrast, it makes the text stand out. If you have black text with a black background you will not be able to see the information, but if you have black text with a white background it becomes simple to read.

As was discussed in the above article, many people create websites so they can advertise them in order to make a profit. But not all advertisements are the same, and you need to know how to strategically place them so your potential customers click on the ads. Apply the tips and tricks from this article so you can have more people clicking on your ads.

Web Design Tips That Everybody Should Know About

Have you always wanted to design a website but never knew where to start? Do you want to get your business online, but can\’t afford to hire someone to help? This article will be a great start for you, as it contains many great ideas to aid you in creating the website of your dreams!

Make sure your site has a tagline. When a visitor clicks onto your site, you only have a little bit of time to hook them with your mission, purpose, and theme. A tagline should be short, clear, and explain what your site is about so that a visitor will be intrigued and remain on your site.

Be sure your website works both with and without the \”www\” prefix. Some people will type this in before they head to your site as a force of habit, and some may not. You should make sure that customers will be directed to your site either way, or you may have some confused people on your hands.

Never force the viewer on a path of your choosing or break them away from their current workflow. This means not pushing surveys or offers into their window that they must complete before they continue. By removing a viewer\’s options and forcing them to do as you please, you are likely losing their service and creating a bad review for your domain.

A great tip for web designers who are in the conceptuali ation stages of their website is simply to brainstorm. This simple, yet underutili ed method is a great way to get your ideas down on paper so that you can better visuali e what you would like the final product to be.

Make sure your site passes the NoScript test. Download and activate the NoScript extension for Firefox and see if your site is still readable. Some content, such as ordering systems for products, can\’t work without scripts, but if your site is simply blank with scripts turned off, that\’s bad news.

Make sure that the font that you are using is readable and professional. It is imperative that you present your site in a skilled manner to remain credible. Using brightly-colored print or Comic Sans font is not going to make your visitors take you seriously and put their faith in the fact that you know what you are talking about.

In order to host your own website, you must have the infrastructure and the money it requires. It could actually prove much more costly to you. You also need to know what you are doing. It is not easy as pie, and you must have the knowledge to host your own website.

Make sure you have a good idea about what types of pages you want to add to your website. Site design is only easy if you plan ahead thoroughly. If you need a contact page, a sales page, various landing pages, etc, make sure you add them all early on. You can always edit as needed as the site starts to take shape.

You must be sure to check for any broken links prior to uploading your page to your server. You can use Dreamweaver to check this out quite easily with just a click of a button. If you upload your site without checking the links first, it will seriously irritate your visitors if they come across broken links as they are trying to maneuver through your site.

Putting the tips in this article into practice will result in a website which brings you closer to your goals. Whether you want to promote yourself or a product, a website is the best strategy for marketing yourself online. Good luck!
