Why you need a website for your business in Ethiopia.

Like many small business owners, you may believe your business cannot benefit from having a website or that a website is not within your budget. Or maybe you think because you don’t use a computer, neither do your potential customers. These are misconceptions. These 8 reasons show why your company NEEDS a professional website, no matter what size your business.

1. YOUR SMALL BUSINESS WILL GAIN CREDIBILITY

Today, more and more consumers use the internet to search for the products or services they need. Your small business will gain credibility by having a website. Without one, potential customers will go to your competitors that do. If you already have a website but it is "home-made", having it professionally redesigned will provide your business with a professional image which will inspire even greater confidence. For home-based businesses, this is particularly beneficial since you do not have a store front to promote your products or services.

2. A WEBSITE SAVES YOU MONEY

As a small business owner you probably think you can't afford a professional website, but you can't afford NOT to. Although the cost of designing a website varies, once it's up and running, a website for a small business generally costs under 100 birr a month and, in some cases, as little as 70 birr. Compared with the cost of a newspaper ad, when you consider the potential market you can reach with a website, it is a very cost effective way to promote your business.

3. IT WILL ENABLE YOU TO KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS INFORMED

Think of your website as being your online brochure or catalog. It is much easier and quicker to update information about your products and services on your website than in print material, making it an effective way of letting your customers know about the arrival of new products, upcoming events, special promotions, or any new services you now offer. Unlike print ads which quickly become outdated, your website can provide current information and news.

 4. IT IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE

A website is available to both your regular and potential customers 24/7/365 providing them with the convenience of reviewing your products and services when your store or office is closed. With today’s busy lifestyles, this is a great selling point when making a purchase decision.

 5. A WEBSITE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO TARGET A WIDER MARKET

Whether you provide products or services, your website will provide an alternative location to sell them. As a retailer, a website (eCommerce) is a great place to sell your products to a wider market; even services can be made available globally. Don't think you'll be able to sell your products or services online? Don't forget, even cars and houses sell online!

 6. IT PROVIDES A MEDIUM ON WHICH TO SHOWCASE YOUR WORK

No matter what type of business you’re in, a website is a great place to showcase your work. By including a portfolio or image gallery, as well as testimonials about your work, you can demonstrate what makes your business unique.

 7. A WEBSITE SAVES YOU TIME

Providing information to your customers takes time, whether it’s on the phone, face-to-face, in a brochure, or in emails. With an online catalog you can provide lots of information about your products and services. Once your website is up and running, it is available to your customers indefinitely, saving you time. And what is time? Time is money!

 8. IT IMPROVES CUSTOMER SERVICE

Maybe you sell environmentally friendly products and would like to share tips on how to recycle, or perhaps you’re an accountant and want to give your clients advice on how to simplify their bookkeeping practices. By including a FAQ page, adding articles or uploading newsletters to answer all your customers' questions you can keep them up-to-date. What better way to provide them with value added service than by sharing information on your website.

Difference between Dynamic and Static Websites - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

What are static and dynamic websites?

There are many static websites on the Internet, you won’t be able to tell immediately if it is static, but the chances are, if the site looks basic and is for a smaller company, and simply delivers information without any bells and whistles, it could be a static website. Static websites can only really be updated by someone with a knowledge of website development. Static websites are the cheapest to develop and host, and many smaller companies still use these to get a web presence.

Advantages of static websites

    Quick to develop
    Cheap to develop
    Cheap to host

Disadvantages of static websites

    Requires web development expertise to update site
    Site not as useful for the user
    Content can get stagnant

Dynamic sites on the other hand can be more expensive to develop initially, but the advantages are numerous. At a basic level, a dynamic website can give the website owner the ability to simply update and add new content to the site. For example, news and events could be posted to the site through a simple browser interface. Dynamic features of a site are only limited by imagination. Some examples of dynamic website features could be: content management system, e-commerce system, bulletin / discussion boards, intranet or extranet facilities, ability for clients or users to upload documents, ability for administrators or users to create content or add information to a site (dynamic publishing).

Advantages of dynamic websites

    Much more functional website
    Much easier to update
    New content brings people back to the site and helps in the search engines
    Can work as a system to allow staff or users to collaborate

Disadvantages of dynamic websites

    Slower / more expensive to develop
    Hosting costs a little more

Summary

Many sites from the last decade are static, but more and more people are realizing the advantages of having a dynamic website. Dynamic websites can make the most of your site and either use it as a tool or create a professional, interesting experience for your visitors.

4 people killed in an Ethiopian plane crash in moqadishu, somalia



Aug 9 (Reuters) - A military plane that crash-landed in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on Friday belonged to Ethiopia and was carrying ammunition, two security sources said. "It was an Ethiopian cargo plane with ammunition on board," said one security source, on condition of anonymity. At least one of the five crew members had died, he said.
Ethiopian soldiers are supporting the Somali government's fight against Islamist al Shabaab rebels, although they are not part of the African Union peacekeeping mission. (Reporting by Richard Lough; Editing by Mike Collett-White)
The following is from CNN.
Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN) -- An Ethiopian military cargo plane crashed at an airport in the Somali capital of Mogadishu early Friday, killing four crew members, African Union peacekeepers said.
The plane "burst into flames immediately on crashing" at the international airport, according to the African Union Mission to Somalia.
It was carrying arms to the African Union forces in Somalia when it crashed as it landed just before 8 a.m. local time, airport staff said.
AMISOM expressed condolences to the government and people of Ethiopia.
Established in 2007, the peacekeeping force has more than 17,000 personnel from across Africa helping the Somali government battle Islamist militants in the nation.
Backed by the United Nations, its role is to help maintain peace and support Somalia's federal government, as the African nation struggles to emerge from more than two decades of conflict.

Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane On Fire at Heathrow Airport

Flights have resumed at London's Heathrow Airport after a fire on a parked Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet.

All runways were closed for nearly 90 minutes after the fire at 16:30 BST. No passengers were aboard the plane at the time, a Heathrow spokesman said.
Fifty Dreamliners worldwide were grounded in January after malfunctions with the plane's lithium-ion batteries.

Boeing modified the jets with new batteries and flights resumed in April.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch of the Department for Transport has dispatched a team to the scene.
The Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner in the Heathrow incident - named the Queen of Sheba - flew from Addis Ababa to Nairobi on the first commercial flight since the grounding.

Pictures of the Heathrow fire showed the Queen of Sheba close to a building and surrounded by fire vehicles. London Fire Brigade said its crews assisted Heathrow staff.

Fire-retardant foam appeared to have been sprayed at the airliner, and an area in front of the tail area on the fuselage appeared to be scorched.

Ethiopian Airlines said smoke was detected from the aircraft after it had been parked at Heathrow for more than eight hours.

[Update - September 03, 2015] - 40/60 Condominium Locations, Number of Houses, Number of Blocks and Current Status

UPDATE : 20/80 and 10/90 CONDOMINIUM UNITS HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO HOME OWNERS ON MARCH 22, 2015.

List of names for 10/90 condominium apartment winners Addis Ababa Ethiopia.

- 20/80 Condominium
- 10/90 Condominium


Moved by a larger demand for the 40/60 housing scheme, the Ministry of Urban Development, Housing & Construction (MUDHC) has prepared three new designs of up to 24 storeys.

Apart from the 12 storey buildings under construction at different sites across the city, the rest of the buildings to be constructed under the new scheme will be 16, 18 and 20 storey with two basements, and 24 storey buildings with three basements, according to Desta Shewamola, head of Houses & Building Design Preparation & Implementation Department.

The Ministry has commissioned the preparation of the designs to ETG Designers & Consultants Plc, for the design of the 16, 20 and 24 storey buildings while the Addis Abeba Savings & Houses Development Enterprise (AASHDE) has prepared the design for the 18 storey buildings. ETG is a category 1 consulting and designing firm established in 1995.

The decision to increase the height of the buildings to be constructed under the scheme is made in order to accommodate the larger demand of houses through an efficient use of the lands apportioned for the purpose, according to Desta.

In addition to the increased number of houses to be included in the newly designed buildings, the proportion of the types of houses to be included in each of these buildings will also vary from those currently under construction.

The Ministry has availed three types of houses under the 40/60 scheme based on the number of bedrooms they accommodate. Accordingly, the 12 storey buildings under construction encompasses one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom houses, the number of which are equally proportional in each of the buildings.

Nonetheless, the design of the 12 storey buildings, which was made before registration of the house was made, that has incorporated all the three types of the houses in proportional number is found to be incompatible with the demand manifested for each of the three types of houses during the registration under the scheme.

Out of the total number of 160,000 residents registered under the scheme, only four percent is registered for one bed room houses and 46pc for the two bed room while half have registered for the three bed room houses.

Currently, there are 12,279 houses  that are being constructed at nine sites across the city under the scheme. Out of this the construction progress of those at Lideta District, Senga Tera area has reached 61pc while those that started in the last fiscal year, at other sites have reached 12pc completion, according to the final draft of the annual performance of the Ministry.

City residents who are registered under this scheme must save 40pc of the value of the houses within five years and the government arranges a loan for the remaining 60pc from the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) by mortgaging the house to be transferred to the user upon completion.

One, two and three bedroom houses under the 40/60 scheme cost  162,000 Br, 250,000 Br and 386,000 Br, respectively. The respective monthly savings are 1,033 Br, 1,575 Br and 2,453 Br for five years.

The construction cost of the buildings for the house seekers under the scheme is, however, adjustable based on the market price of the construction materials. Besides, the cost of the newly designed buildings may differ from the current amount, according to Desta.

“The price of the houses may increase,” says Desta. “The government, however, may subsidise it.”

Every building to be built based on the new designs will have an electric power generator that will serve the houses in case of a power shortage, according to Desta.

In addition to those in progress under the 40/60 scheme, the government is also constructing 124, 220 houses under the 20/80 low cost housing scheme. Out of this, the construction of 71, 127, which were begun in 2010/11 and 2011/12, has reached 91.2pc while that of 13, 014 houses has reached 13.28pc; those whose construction started in 2013/14 fiscal year are at basement stage. The total number of house seekers that are registered under this scheme is 780,000 residents of the city, according to data from the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).

The third category of the low cost housing types underway by the government is the 10/90 scheme, for which around 20,000 house seekers are registered, according to data from the CBE.  The construction progress of the 24,288 houses for the registrants under this scheme have reached 62.17pc, according to data from the MoUDHC.

The government has now used 6.3 billion Br which has been raised through the sale of bonds for the construction of these houses, the Ministry says that so far 1.25 billion Br has been spent on the 40/60 houses currently under construction.

Affordable Guided Tour to Erta Ale

Location: Lat. 13.6N, Long. 40.7E
Elevation: 2,011 feet (613 m)
Erta Ale is a very remote and rarely visited shield volcano in the Afar region of East Africa. It is Ethiopia's most active volcano and it has been in a state of continuous eruption since 1967. Daytime temperatures will likely be above 40 degrees Celcius and the base of the volcano actually lies below sea level and it's summit rises up to 613 Meters. Erta Ale is known for it's 2 pit craters which have had active lava lakes in the past.
Erta Ale has undergone seven eruption events in the past 125 years. Three of the early eruption dates, 1873, 1903, and 1904 are uncertain. However, 1906, 1940, 1960, and 1967 are well established events. Erta Ale has been erupting continuously since 1967.
Two new studies on Erta Ale have recently been published. Oppenheimer and Francis (1998) looked at the implications of long-lived lava lakes. They believe that Erta Ale's lava lake has been active for at least the last 90 years (making it one of the longest known historic eruptions). Large amounts of heat are released by the volcano but the amount of lava that erupts is relatively small. Oppenheimer and Francis speculated that a higher magma density (caused by the cooling of the lava in the lake) inhibits eruptions. They proposed that most of the magma accumulates in the underlying crust in the form of dikes and sills. Since the Afar region is under extension, conditions are favorable for the injection of dikes and sills.
Barrat and others (1998) looked at the chemistry of the rocks at Erta Ale. Rocks range in composition from basalt to rhyolite. Barrat and others found that two mantle sources were tapped for the basalts: one similar in composition to the source for mid-ocean ridge basalts (called MORB by geochemists) and one similar in composition to the source for ocean-island basalts (called OIB). Their data did not show a significant contribution of sialic material from the continental crust. The silica-rich volcanics are derived from fractional crystallization of basaltic magmas.

Visit Dallol Volcano in Ethiopia | Dallol Ethiopia Tour Packages

Description of Danakil Depression from Wikipedia 

The Danakil Depression is a desert basin which lies in the Danakil Desert in north-eastern Ethiopia and southern Eritrea. It belongs to the homeland of the Afar people. It lies up to 100 m below sea level as a result of tectonic activity caused by plate movements. The presence of many volcanoes in the region, including Erta Ale and the Dabbahu Volcano in the middle of the depression, also finds its cause in these plate movements.

Best Ethiopian Cafés | Top Ethiopian Cafes in Addis Ababa



It seems like there is a new cafe on every corner of Addis Ababa or other major city in Ethiopia. But finding the best cafes in Ethiopia is harder than it sounds. We all have different taste and what might seem like the best cafe for us, might just be the worst one for our friends. But most of us can find a common and similar value among the best cafes in Ethiopia. Neatness, hospitality, location and price (not for all) might be decisive factors on which ones we consider to be the best cafes in Ethiopia. As the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa has the widest selection of Cafés in Ethiopia. Cafes and Restaurants in Addis Ababa are generally criticized for being too pricey compared to other major cities. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise considering life in Addis Ababa is generally more expensive than other major Ethiopian cities.
The menu on most of the Cafés in Ethiopia might be similar but there is no question every cafe has their own way of preparing food. I usually choose Cafés to drink macchiato and tea but not eat fast food such as burger and pizza. I recommend eating pizza in pizza and pizzeria places,  burger in burger houses and Kitfo in Kitfo Houses. Although some cafes can excel in making these particular Ethiopian Dishes, it would be great to experience the general feel of Kitfo houses, burger joints and pizza houses.
So whether you’re looking for the best cafes which provide dish at a fair price, or just the best cafes providing the best cuisine at any price, you can check out a number of websites for a list of top cafes in Ethiopia. I have provided one Ethiopian Accommodation and Hotel directory Website, another website specializing in African countries and off course, TripAdvisor.com, an international review website.

I recommend eating pizza in pizza and pizzeria places,  burger in burger houses and Kitfo in Kitfo Houses. Although some restaurants can excel in making these particular Ethiopian Dishes, it would be great to experience the general feel of Kitfo houses, burger joints and pizza houses.
So whether you’re looking for the best restaurants which provide dish at a fair price, or just the best restaurants providing the best cuisine at any price, you can check out a number of websites for a list of top restaurants in Ethiopia. I have provided one Ethiopian Accommodation and Hotel directory Website, another website specializing in African countries and off course, TripAdvisor.com, an international review website.
