You’re mobile. So is your phone, your laptop and your tablet. What about your website? Is it time to make your site mobile-friendly? The prevalence of high speed wireless data networks and free wifi, combined with the vast increase in processor speeds and screen size for today's smartphones, means more and more people will see your site on their mobile device first. And first impressions, of course, count. More...
The album cover has a history as varied as what's inside the package. From vinyl to CDs and now thumbnail graphics for online purchasing, the artwork has changed to reflect the changing music delivery formats. Our friends at the FontShop offer a regular critique More...
“My site’s been up for three weeks. How come I’m not getting any visitors? Why isn’t it on the first page when I search on Google?”

I tend to recommend a lot of google products. One that I recommend very often is the use of Google Calendars as a calendar of events on your website. Using Google Calendars saves you having to install and configure clunky event management plugins, and fits easily onto a page on your website using a little bit of embedding code. You can even have more than one calendar display at a time and choose which ones you want displayed from a little drop-down menu.

It's become an age old question. "How do I optimize my image files so that they are small and fast loading, but still look great?" Image formats, and image optimization tools have come a long way, but there have always been just a few fundamental concepts at play here. More...
