Recently I had a conversation with a friend whose in-house promotional materials looked like garbage. A postcard was produced for mailing with a small photo of a professional speaker that was so soft and pixelated that you couldn’t decipher his face. The in-house marketing guru assured my friend that it was the best it could [...]


Is WordPress right for your business website?

01.27.10 Posted in Blog by

That low barrier of entry and mass appeal is exactly what should make a business consider using WordPress for the backend. And the fact that your competitors may be using something less capable, more complex (and more expensive) should also grab your attention. If it takes them longer and costs them more, doesn’t that give YOU a competitive advantage, at least in regards to your online marketing?

Websites: One Size Does Not Fit All

09.14.09 Posted in Blog by

We don’t have a price list on this website nor can we provide a price to a customer without consultation. And I suggest any web design company that does is a company to run away from. All businesses are different and have different needs. So are their marketing efforts. Sure I could sell someone a package with default content, features and pages to reach a certain page count, but would that package meet their needs, represent their brand, or generate additional customers and revenue for their business?

iPhones and Father’s Day

Yesterday on our way back from my in-laws, my wife and I stopped by Target. Unbeknownst to me, my 1st gen iPhone (purchased July 2007) had slipped out of my pocket. When I opened the door it fell out of the car and right down an 8 foot deep storm drain.


Mighty Mouse on Strike

I got my beautiful 24″ iMac less than a week ago to replace the abused 1st Generation Mac Mini where I previously did much of my work.  The screen is gorgeous, processor fast, and the graphics top notch.  I’m even getting used to the smaller keyboard.  But after less than a week’s worth of use, [...]


Save headaches and validate markup

05.27.08 Posted in Blog by

Many people underestimate the importance of valid markup. There are rules for proper HTML and XHTML, and there are reasons for those rules. WYSIWYG layout editors made many web designers (including myself) lazy. We were rightfully worried about what the page looked like, but often neglected the importance of what the code looked like. In fact, Internet Explorer shares much of the blame as oftentimes web developers had to purposefully write invalid markup as Internet Explorer didn’t (and in some cases still doesn’t) render proper code properly. But when you neglect your markup, eventually your web page itself will fail.
