It’s Saturday evening, and here I am sitting in my office, “working”. It’s scenarios like this that have led to my latest “aha!” — I don’t really consider myself a web designer – I consider myself a web hobbyist. I have read so many sales pitches for ‘how to turn your hobby into a business’ [...]

I know deep down I’ve known this for years, but recently it’s been in my face more and more so I figured it was high time I embraced this truth: I am a web geek… and we are a special breed. That said, I do feel it a duty of mine to help my clients [...]

URL shorteners are the new cool kid thing to do when sending out promotional links. (See: tinyurl.com, budurl.com, et al) They are a super awesome way to get easy links to pages that may have super-long permalinks or hard-to-remember URLs.

My approach to a website design (or REdesign, as the case may be) is threefold. Plan. Create. Evaluate. Those are three key pieces to a website that sometimes gets overlooked, or set aside.

Back in August, I started a side-project to review email service providers (ESP). I had no idea what I was getting myself into. As a tech nerd, most of the ESP’s out there seemed pretty similar.

Lately, things have not been running so smoothly for your favorite designer (I AM your favorite, right?).

Yours truly suffers from the [...]

I work with a lot of Coaches – on the “I’m their web designer” end of things. People have asked me what these clients of mine sell, so I’ve tried to best explain what it is a Coach does and what they are selling and many folks not in “the biz” don’t quite understand the [...]

This month (and next) we are concentrating on the world of email marketing. I have spent some time investigating email service providers (ESP) and reviewing them. As you shop around for an ESP (or a new one) there are a number of important things you need to consider. I’m going to touch on a few [...]

Many business owners get that first big website (or sales page, or opt-in page), spending *months* working on writing the copy, getting their logo done, finalizing the website design, and all of the other busy work involved in the launching of a new site. Then it’s launched, and it’s like, well, now what? Cause I’m [...]
