It’s tough it is to strive for a professional presence online. If your site isn’t compelling enough, clients move on to your competitors. That’s why, your brand (and that includes your website) should significantly impact your business, help you find new clients, and boost
The High Cost of Web Design Failures is Too Common
When you read these two statistics, you’re going to be shocked. More than 45% of all businesses don’t have a website. And of the DIY’s (Do-It-Yourselfers) that embark on building a site, 98% of them fail in publishing one at all. This doesn’t even count the number of businesses that have a website that simply isn’t driving leads… which I believe is another significant percentage.

InVision: Prototyping, Collaboration and Workflow
Recently, I received an email with a link at the top that stated the folks were designing a new email and wanted our feedback. I clicked through on the link and it was a publicly accessible prototype of a new email design by the company.

How to Let Your Pizza… er… Product Sell Itself Online
A good friend of mine, James, owns Brozinni Pizzeria. I’m not going to mess around – it’s honestly the best New York style pizza in Indy.

A web site is broken up into 6 key
BugHerd: Point, Click and Collaborate on the Web

Free and Easy Wireframing with Wireframe.cc
Maybe we should start with what wireframing is! Wireframing is a means for designers to rapidly prototype a skeletal layout to a page. Wireframes display the objects on the page and their relationship to one another, they don’t do not display the literal graphic design incorporated. If you really want to make your designer happy, provide them with a wireframe of your request! Folks use everything from pen and paper, to Microsoft Word, to advanced
I Don’t Like It!
These are probably the worst 4 words that you can ever hear as an agency from your client. You never get used to it even though it happens fairly often. People hire designers to do the impossible… pull a vision out of their head and put it into an image, site, video or even a brand. Worse, it’s rarely an answer that matters.
