This is your brain on the web

By Jason Waldron - Wally the Web Guy

The other day a friend of mine sent me a video from a brain
scientist who had the chance of a lifetime: she had a stroke.

Now, to you and I, this is not the chance of a lifetime. This is tragic.

But she had a great attitude, and thought "awesome, how many
brain scientists get to study themselves while having a stroke!"

So for starters, she gave us a great example to follow - make the
best out of your situation.

But she also talked about some really interesting ways about how
the brain works. She learned a lot about the brain, and now we
can too.

For instance, did you know that we basically have two separate
brains?

The left and right brain are essentially physically separate. If
you take it out, hold it on a tray, you can actually split the
brain in half without cutting anything. Really amazing.

Your left brain is linear, and thinks in terms of past and
future. It is the logic side of your brain, and it thinks in
language and details.

The right side of your brain is caught up in the present - it
thinks in pictures, and it learns by doing. This is the side of
your brain that holds your creativity, the one that is stimulated
when you "get in a state of flow".

This really got me thinking.

What would it take to build a website that stroked both sides of
the brain?

I came up with a quick list. Here are a few items that a good
website, stimulating your brain, would have to have. See if you
can figure out which side of the brain each will be stimulated by
these (the answers are at the bottom of the email):

A brain stimulating website has:

*Interactivity
*Pictures that help your cause
*Good captions describing pictures
*Good offer
*Easy navigation
*Quality writing that excites you
*Stimulating colors

There's so much more that we could add to the list. But this is
just a "brain tease".

A website that stimulates both sides of the brain can really help
you. You pull in more money for your business. After all, if
somebody is reacting to you with 100% of their brain power, when
your competition is only picking up a small fraction of their
attention, you're going to win every time.

Keep this in MIND: Every website designed by Wally the Web Guy
is designed to stimulate BOTH sides of the brain.

Reach for the top,
