10 Ways Web Design is Evolving and How You Can Keep Up

May 23, 2013 by April · Leave a Comment

With the advent of CSS3, HTML5, interactive media, mobile devices and image-driven social platforms like Pinterest, the Web is evolving quicker than some job descriptions can catch up. Eisner-nominated designer Tom Muller went as far as to say, “The term ‘Web designer’ is eroding away” in a Digital Arts article earlier this year. According to the 2013 Web Design Survey conducted by the digital industry body AIMIA and Adobe, 95 percent of Web designer respondents felt their roles had changed, and they were now expected to take on new work aspects including digital publishing, interactive design and content for mobile platforms. The survey also revealed that one in four respondents has noticed an increase in time spent working to optimize websites for mobile devices. The … [Read more...]

May 20, 2013 by April · Leave a Comment

Many Facebook users will use their personal account in order to promote their business. Although this isn't necessarily a bad way to promote your business, it could be viewed as unprofessional.

Timelines - When you promote your business on your own profile, clients and customers can see your personal timeline. Any open comments you've made on family and friend comments or posts are open for all to see.

Does the Theme of Your Blog Determine Its Success?

May 13, 2013 by April · 4 Comments

When you set up a blog, there are numerous details to think about. However, one of the most important is often an afterthought--the theme. Usually, the theme is one of those options you choose after you get your content set up and pictures added. Then, you have to change it based on how it makes your content look online. One great example to consider is the responsive type of themes as they give you so many more mobile options.
