Sans serif fonts are easy on the eyes and are great for websites, but sometimes they can be a little bit boring. If you are you looking for a sans serif font but are wanting one with a little more pizzaz than just your plain, run-of-the-mill sans serif font, then look no further. Here are…
If you need photos for your website, stock photos can be a great option. There are thousands to choose from, they are relatively cheap, and they brighten up your site. Everyone loves pictures. But sometimes, choosing stock photos is a bad idea. For example, we redid a site for an oral surgeon a couple of…
If you have a website, and you care about what people are doing when they land on it, then you need Google Analytics. The data you get from having it installed is worth the $0 cost. What is Google Analytics? Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website…
My design career started with print design, so serif fonts have a special place in my heart. You see them in magazines, newspapers and in huge headlines all over town. Now, you also see serif fonts as a design trend for websites. You won’t see me complaining about that any anytime soon. Here are some…
This is literally a question I get asked at least twice a week. I truly wish I could just give a simple answer like “two weeks.” But the reality is that building a website has a lot of components, a lot of factors to consider. So there is no definite timeline that I can give…
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that on March 1st, we launched our redesigned site and added on a brand new video. It was something we’d been thinking about for a while. Video is huge, and our thought was that it would allow us to have a more emotional connection…
“We had someone working on our site, but we had all sorts or problems.” I hear this kind of statement from people a fair amount, and it always raises my eyebrow a bit. Is the problem really with the person you hired? Or is the problem with you? Or is there a problem with the…
If you have a business that sends invoices, then you should have a link on that invoice that allows your customers to pay online. Preferably on your website. Why? Because it’s convenient. In the year 2016, I should not have to write a check to pay for a service. I’m much faster to pay if I can…
We get a lot of inquiries from people who have big dreams. They want a new site, and they want SEO, they want e-commerce, they want the works. But once the quote comes their way, they lose all the wind from their sails! One thing I want to be sure people understand is that when…
I was in college when the Internet became a “thing.” Back then, it wasn’t hard to find what you were looking for, because there weren’t a gazillion websites. But as the world wide web became more prominent, it started to become harder to find what you were looking for. I actually remember a time, and…

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But the truth is, doing e-commerce is hard, and doing it successfully is even harder. Usually at least once a day we get an inquiry from someone who wants an e-commerce site. Everyone seems to have a product to sell and wants to put it online,…
The iPhone takes great photos these days, and I’ve heard the iPhone 7 does even better. I have personally stopped carrying my big camera on trips and stick to just my phone usually. I know you can take photos for free without buying new equipment. But trust me, when it comes to your website, you need…
There are days when it seems like throwing myself into heavy traffic is a better idea than having to write another a blog post. Really. Somedays, I just want to give up, say goodbye to the blog, and spend my newly allotted time organizing the pantry like a normal, non-blogging human does. But I don’t,…
One of the things that our clients love about us that we are responsive. If you send me a message, you are going to get a reply, often times within minutes. People have come to expect that sort of response time from me. If I don’t respond right away, or if perhaps I run out…
