5 Tips for Making Mobile Friendly Pages

5 Tips for Making Mobile Friendly Pages

Remember you can make your mobile pages in the Wizard with no programming knowledge required. 

1. Keep the navigation simple for touch devices.

• You can have drop down menus but remember that users will be using their fingers to navigate your website.

2. Limit the amount of non-text on your pages.

• While most users should have decent download speeds some are still very slow to load pages. If your page takes too long users might choose to close the loading window rather than wait.

3. Upload optimized images.

• While the Wizard can re-size your images we highly suggest uploading a shrunken and optimized version of your images for mobile to keep the load time down.

4. Use video to keep your page interesting.

• The Wizard encodes a version of any video uploaded to be mobile friendly and knows when to deliver it. You don't have to worry about video crippling your website.

5. Keep the width 320 pixels or under.

• It may look small while you work on it, but after you publish it go ahead and try it out on your phone. You'll notice that it's size should fit nicely, you may be tempted to make it wider but depending on the phone that will either shrink the page to fit or just cut it off.

Creating a Better Password

Helpful Password Tips

It’s surprising how many people on the web will use 1 password for everything, or will use rather weak passwords for high security systems. To help with the creative challenge of coming up with a password you’ll remember, but that isn't “123password”, here are some tips.

• Never use “password” in your password
• Use capitalized and lowercase letters (A = capitalized, a = lowercase)
• Use at least 1 number in your password
• Never use your name as your password
• Be sure to set your password reminder!
• Try combining some of your favorite things

Ex: Your favorite food + your favorite number + your favorite author + the number of times you’ve left the country (You don’t have to use this formula just know what the formula is and use that as the password reminder)

If all else fails don’t be afraid of using a generated password protected by a password tool. We like to suggest to our users LastPass. It’s free, highly reviewed, and works great. (https://lastpass.com/) However like with any decision you should research your options. There can be a lot of benefit to using a password vault, especially if you have a lot of accounts however in the end the decision is yours.

Tips and Why Training Videos for New Employees is a Great Investment

Training new employees is important
but can also be time consuming. 

Training Videos for Team Members

Nothing can be more hectic than trying to train a new employee when things are busy. (This generally seems like the best time to hire a new employee.) You don’t want your new team member to be under-trained and confused or frustrated but you also need to get your other responsibilities done. For situations like this planning ahead can save you a lot of time and frustration when it comes to training new staff. With a little foresight you can create training videos on how to use different software that they might use, how to handle customers, where to go to update their benefits and things that you know will come up.

Don’t have time for creating training materials ahead of time? Not an issue, as you are training hook up a microphone and turn on a screen capturing device and make a video as you walk through. This gives your team member the ability to review this video if they have questions.

Some Tips for Training Videos for New Employees

Make sure your employees feel comfortable
in their new position.

• Using the Bizideo Wizard you can make password protected pages and customize it with the videos and content that particular employee might need. This is a very inexpensive method and allows easy customization by non IT staff.
• Don’t forget that mobile training is an option! Both the Bizideo Wizard and the Enterprise are cross compatible, allowing users to check up on questions on the go.
• Save your video files so you can update it as you get feedback about things or as the protocol might change. (If the changes aren’t too drastic)
• Using the Bizideo Enterprise Solution system we can help deliver training to larger populations of users using our subscription system. You can easily make sure that all your General Managers get access to one subscription while all your Cart Attendants have access to another.
• The Enterprise also has ways to track user activity, and verify that they have completed viewing or downloading content. This solution can help train new employees BEFORE they show up to their first day of work or after hours as needed.
• Don’t just leave your new team member abandoned in front of videos. Remember that you’ll want to create a working relationship that needs to be interactive, so check in ask if they have any other questions regarding the materials.
• If you can dedicate time to making content beforehand it can be well worth it. On a quiet day you can spend a couple hours making materials that can make training multiple new employees a lot easier.
