My name is Kevin Reed, I’m the CISO at Acronis, global leader in cyber protection and Singapore’s latest unicorn company. I have more than 20 years of experience in cyber security, and today would like to share with you on some of the industry’s most pressing topics.

It starts as an innocent request from a Chris Thomas for a website quote for naturesfarmproduce.com.  In this case, an email was sent directly to one of my staff.  The subject was "Design !".  The first message, from [email protected], was simple: "I will like to know if you do Web design and please do you accept credit card ?"

But building a brand image comes down to much more than just what you see of a brand logo design on a billboard. Marketing expert Seth Godin, for example, defines a brand as a set of “expectations, memories, stories, and relationships” that are able to promote or distinguish one brand over another.

“If I was a business owner I would be very reluctant to have a company build my website that didn’t have its own website,” he said.

According to a report, the makers of this smartphone hired a marketing company to help them with branding. And one of the shortlisted names was Strawberry.

Blackberry, besides having a fast word pronunciation, evokes high-tech. Also the keys on the phone look very much like blackberry drupelets. The name “Blackberry” suits the phone so much that now we can’t imagine it being called anything else.

The same level of care should go into picking a domain name. It is your first impression online. To make a good first impression on internet users, pick a domain name that people can easily remember and associate with.

1.  Not Mobile Friendly

More than half of people use their phones to browse the internet. If your website doesn’t translate to mobile people are going to move on to one that does.

2.  Stay Away From The Light

Bright colors and flashing signs do more damage to your business than good. People don’t want their eyes to hurt trying to find out more about the products or services you offer. Sometimes less is more.
