Random Thoughts — The Wireless Mobile Web

We’ve been pretty much accustomed to having web access the past number of  years now on laptops, tablet PC’s or home computers thanks to WiFi, and even more so since the introduction of Apple’s iPhone. Since the iPhone came out, and gave people true web access from anywhere without having to carry multiple devices, letting [...]

Web Design — Online Portfolios

I’m a big fan of LinkedIn. Not so much for all of the network connections I have (which til now have not proven to be of much value…), but more for the different groups one can join and contribute to as well as learn from. All of the groups, unlike Facebook or mySpace are designed [...]

Website Design — Chevy’s Transform Your Garage

I just got an email today from Chevrolet to enter their “Transform your garage” contest. In it you can win one of two Chevy vehicles, including a Camaro or Corvette  — the only reasons to really enter IMO. So I clicked on the email and was transported to the site here: http://www.chevytransformyourgarage.com/. Pretty slick site [...]

Website Development — Joomla

I really like working with new technologies, whether it’s design related, a new TV, a cool watch, or when the iPhone came out. Also, when there’s new bells and whistles with some software I typically use that makes it more robust and makes my work easier – i.e. more efficient in the long run, I’m [...]

Hello out there in web land. Yes, I know it’s been a few weeks since I last posted anything on my blog. To explain, I’ve been out of work now since I was laid off for about a month, give or take. Interesting how one loses track of time when one isn’t working. Important things [...]

Web Design Part 4 – Do you need an Intranet?

First off, let me begin by saying thanks to anyone who reads these posts on my blog. That’s right, thanks to both of you. So, the other day I was thinking about the Internet, and also, what an intranet is. It seems a lot of people don’t know really what an intranet is, or if [...]

Website Design Part 3 – When big sites won’t work

I’m going to keep this pretty short and simple. Any website should work once it’s launched into the real world, especially if you’re company is a multimillion dollar entity whose online image affects their own bottom dollar. Case in Point: Sony Electronics. More to the point, there online job search, or careers section. There were [...]

Web Design Part 2 – Color

There seems to be a lot of people who like to design web sites, and or anything else, that don’t understand color theory. Let it be known that knowing color is very important in any design work, whether web, logos, print, even painting your house or office – if they let you have more than [...]

Website Design Part One – the number 3

It seems these days everyone and their mother are making websites, blogging, Twittering, Facebooking, etc. I subscribe to the school of thought that although anyone can make a website, not everyone can make a great website, nor knows how to. There are a lot of tools that allow anyone to create a site, yet not [...]
