By Chuck Longanecker
On May 24, 2013

The Internet has been evolving for 20+ years, so isn’t it time websites got onboard? Since the Internet made its public debut in the mid-90s, basic website structure has remained virtually untouched. Still tied to the same print-based paradigms and catalog-style navigation, these outdated formats now shackle designers to a limited framework that prevents them them from truly exploring the advantages inherent in the digital medium.

Websites suffer from the ultimate skeuomorphic insecurity, trying to be something they’re not, by emulating the print paradigm. These shackles to print also inspires bad user experiences. Think of the ADD-like behavior visitors adopt as they jump from page to disjunct page trying to find some semblance of a path on journeys without easy-to-reach goals. Bottom line, websites are broken, but not lost. At long last, Web designers have now begun shedding old handcuffs and defining a new form of website: intuitive, guided experiences that actually help the user achieve his or her goals. Here’s how.

Websites are finally taking a cue from mobile developers.

The stagnation of website design stands in stark contrast to the innovation seen in mobile app design. Due to the unique navigation in Path, Clear, and Rise, and the visceral, satisfying feeling we get from our favorite apps, mobile app developers are redefining what it means to interact with digital content. These unique interfaces and visceral feedback are what make our favorite apps so satisfying and addicting. They also hold the key to what’s missing from today’s web design.

Going forward, more websites will embrace visceral design to evoke satisfaction we receive from our favorite mobile apps. Loren Birtcher’s pull to refresh, the pleasing sounds of Tweetbot – these will be emulated and baked into Web design to create memorable experiences. The infinite scroll, pageless feel to the apps is also something that the Web could use more of. Sites like the newly revamped Flickr have created immersive experiences, and user delight, through the use of endless scroll.

When you’re not jumping from page to page, it’s easier to get engaged with digital content. Website designers should look to mobile innovations for inspiration to push the boundaries of what it means to use and move about a website. The browser tech is there, the connection speeds are there. It’s time to take advantage of what’s available to us to deliver new and unique experiences that resonate.

Websites will tell better stories.

Forget a loose collection of pages that have little to do with one another. Think instead of narrative arcs and storylines. Stories are how we’ve communicated since the beginning of time, and are still the most effective way for brands to communicate with consumers. Websites need to embrace storytelling and leverage the attributes of the digital medium to tell story that people will care about. Pageless, long scroll design allows for the development of these stories, while on-page interactive elements such as rich media, y-axis animation, drawers, etc. provide opportunity for users to explore within the context of the broader narrative.

Sites like Desk.com create rich experiences that lead users through a narrative to an ultimate conclusion. Google Glass engages and inspires users through rich imagery and emotionally expansive experiences that let users go as deep as they want. These stories lead to an outcome — a satisfying conclusion that meets the needs of the user and site owner.

Websites will be more aware.

We’re not calling for the singularity here, but websites should know what their objectives are and provide feedback within that context that allows owners to optimize results. Currently, websites are nothing more than collections of pages that have little to do with one another. This means there is rarely a cohesive user experience that leads to a goal. That’s why marketers use landing pages instead of driving traffic directly to corporate sites. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Websites tomorrow will have clear goals for each user type and the design will guide users to their ultimate goal.

At the same time, sites will provide real time and contextual feedback to owners about current conversion rates and optimization opportunities. When websites have a goal and know the desired outcome, they’ll be able to make relevant, proactive recommendations based on understanding where the breakdown in the user experience happens. It’s not quite Skynet, but websites should be able to tell marketers and owners where there’s a breakdown and suggest how to fix it. This doesn’t exist today, although using tools like Crazy Egg, Qualaroo and KISSMetrics can at least elevate understanding above simple page stats.

Websites will feel native on any screen.

The line between mobile apps and websites will continue to blur, and web designers will create experiences optimized for any screen, rather than the reductionist mentality that exists today. Responsive design is a hot topic, but too often responsive equals reduction — simply stripping away content, navigation and functionality to deliver an experience as fast as possible. It makes sense for now, but as mobile speeds improve, websites will use responsive design to deliver the highest and best experience for that screen size, rather than the simplest.

Google’s Chromebook site does a great job with this. Not only is the site responsive, but the navigation and page elements smartly rearrange to create an optimal experience on the phone without stripping away any of the richness of the desktop experience. This means leveraging interactions that make sense for the device, changing text links to buttons for mobile, using swipes instead of clicks, and more. Call it Responsive+ if you want, but whatever it is, designers need to push the flexibility of design delivery to create the best experience for any screen, not the most reductive.

Smarter sites are the future of Web design.

What do Nest, Square, Nike, and Google have in common? Besides being the category leading brands in their respective spaces, they are pushing web design forward and creating more business value by engaging their users through forward-thinking web design. Sites like Nest and Square are heralding a new era of website: Smart Sites.

The onus is now on us as designers to embrace these trends and finally push web design into the future. We need to join our mobile brethren in creating truly memorable, satisfying experiences. We need to create story-driven user experiences that are truly rewarding for users. We need to stop designing collections of pages that create disjunct, ADD-like behavior. And finally, we need to find a way to bring this design to the masses.

Smart design shouldn’t be limited to the most elite teams and companies. As designers of the web, we should seek to find ways to create better experiences for everyone. As we improve the design of the web, utility and value increases for every user. It’s the ultimate network effect win. So it’s time to insist on smarter sites. It’s time to build on the work done by Google, Nike, Pinterest, Square and Nest. Owners, designers, everyone needs to embrace this evolution. The future of the Web depends on us.

Best Web Design Miami

Based in Florida, Web Design Miami Pros Was Just Recognized by Its Peers as The “Best Web Design Company” Due to Consistent Use of Best Practices.

(Newswire.net — May 24, 2013) Miami, Florida – Web Design Miami Pros was awarded the title of  “Best Web Design Miami Company” in Miami, FL. The results came after asking marketing experts in a web-based poll provided by a client. 

The recognition was a confirmation of the great talent the developers use and have given the web design Miami firm a great distinction within the marketplace.  

A Web Design Miami Pros spokesman said he was deeply honored by the results, and suggested that the reason they were so good was that they were fortunate to have great designers who love their work. 

He said, “We are so fortunate to have such high calibre staff and partners. I’m sure our competition would love to have them too, but they don’t, so if you want professional designs and marketing outcomes this is the service to use”

“Web Design Miami Pros isn’t looking for your run-of-the-mill pixel pusher,” said the spokesman. “Our design team really creates magic when it gathers together for a creative session. The ideas generated from everyone’s involvement are simply first class.”

The spokesman ticked off three qualities he looks for in a team member: A personal vision about what the client needs to attract the targeted audience, a sense of ownership over the projects they work on, and a “builder” mindset.

“These are people that take pride in their work and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure the client is completely satisfied. We look for people who can say, ‘I have a great design idea,’ can think through the client’s needs, can think through what will attract the target audience, and then build something great,” said the spokesman at the web design Miami company.

According to the spokesman, design is becoming critical in nearly every industry, so recruiting great designers is becoming increasingly difficult. Selecting the right candidates can be half the battle, and mistakes need to be avoided.

Interviewers should not underestimate how time-consuming this process can be and a candidate who doesn’t fit the company’s pace, culture and background needs to be weeded out without delay.

The spokesman at the web design Miami company reported that the informal poll came from a client, who then called the local marketing experts, and were asked who they thought was the best in the area and why.

Among those surveyed, Web Design Miami Pros had the best design staff in the city, and was a firm to be taken seriously.

“We hope with this recognition and discovery that our order book improves significantly,” said the spokesman. To learn more about website design Miami services call 305-440-5544 or click on this link: http://www.webdesigninmiamifl.com

Microsoft has plugged a flaw in its Greener IT Challenge website that leaked the names and email addresses of users who took a quiz on the site.

Users who passed the quiz by demonstrating their knowledge of buying environmentally sensitive PCs, choosing minimal power use options for new computers and how to dispose of obsolete IT kit safely were given a certificate.

The certificate is displayed at the end of the multiple-choice test, at which point a PDF version can be downloaded for printing.

However some “bad form” web-design meant that these PDF versions of the certificates were allocated in numerical order, on an unencrypted website open to world+dog. It would have been a simple matter for spammers or other miscreants to run a script and harvest hundreds of email addresses. The information might then be usable in spam runs or (worse) phishing campaigns.

In a statement, Microsoft told El Reg that the problem was “fully resolved”.

“We have now resolved this issue so all users are anonymous and their information is private,” it said.

In fairness to Microsoft we’re only talking about email addresses and names here, and not highly sensitive information like credit card numbers. Nonetheless, people are entitled to hold Microsoft to high standards in web design; something it (or a third-party agency acting in its name) failed to live up to on this occasion. ®

Best Web Design Tampa

Based In Tampa Florida, The Firm Web Design Tampa Pros Was Awarded The “Best Web Design Company” In Their Market.

(Newswire.net — May 23, 2013) Tampa, Florida – Web Design Tampa Pros Was Just Recognized As the “Best Web Design Company” In The Tampa Area.

The award was provided by a marketing expert who conducted an internet survey in which local web design companies were asked to choose the “Best Web Design Tampa Company” in Tampa, FL. 

While it was common for the firms to respond that they were the best, the marketing expert asked them about SEO response rates, and after the comparison selected Web Design Tampa Pros because the firm not only had ultra-attractive designs, but was the most effective in obtaining SEO response.

A spokesman at the web design Tampa firm said he was deeply honored by the designation from the marketing expert, and suggested that the reason they were so good was the highly successful SEO expert who tweaked every site to gain the best ranking results.

The spokesman said, “We are so fortunate to have such high calibre SEO expert involved with our service, which means that our clients can benefit greatly from his work.”

The Web Design Tampa spokesman, when asked why their response rates were the best said, “Text still remains the most important part of any website even today, even more important than fancy graphics and multimedia. While Google test bots does rank some videos and media higher than others for certain keywords, well-formatted and content-rich websites always get the highest ranking. Unfortunately, the less experienced designers at the other firms usually focus on too much graphics and multimedia, which then hurts their rankings.”

As part of their service, Web Design Tampa Pros will evaluate how the site performs when all the graphics and multimedia JavaScript is turned off. They look to see if the logo shows up as text, if  the navigation is working correctly, if the main content of the web page is showing up right after the navigation, and if the content formats correctly.

The basic idea is to make sure the main content that is measured by the Google crawlers comes to the top as early as possible with the relevant titles and descriptions in place.

According to the marketing expert, very few web design firms take this extra step to optimize their sites in this fashion, which is hands-down the reason Web Design Tampa Pros services are ranked the best.

The spokesman added, “The other main reason we were chosen as the best by the marketing expert is because Google has long noted the size and the average load times of pages. This goes into the ranking algorithm, and does affect a sites position in the search engine results page. It’s important to have good content on the website, but if the pages load slowly, Google is going to be wary of ranking the site higher than other websites that load faster.

We make every effort to ensure fast load times to get the best results. The marketing expert said we were doing the best practices to get the best results.”

Press release

PORTSMOUTH — Web 2.0 is dead. A smarter, more personalized web demands a new moniker. Welcome to Web 3.0.

This June 6, come explore one of the most anticipated developments in web design at the eCoast Responsive Design Summit at the Redhook Brewery at Pease International Tradeport. Responsive design has changed the web, from how people approach design and development to how they consume information as users. Now a single site can accommodate any device or screen size, making content available everywhere. It’s impacted how web professionals collaborate, and brought a new set of rules for design, development and user experience.

“As the regional leader in promoting the Seacoast’s diverse technology culture, the eCoast wanted to create an event that would allow our community to explore responsive web design in a unique and collaborative way,” said Mark Miller, chairman of the eCoast committee and director of marketing and accounts for Interactive Accessibility. “This is not your grandparents’ conference format.”

At the eCoast Responsive Design Summit, be prepared to be a part of the discussion. The “un-conference” will encourage audience participation, presentations and topic propositions. In addition, there will be two keynote speakers from leading New England web development agencies and opportunities to network with leading web design professionals. Food and drink, including Redhook beer, will be provided.

The full day event, which will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., promises to be an excellent opportunity to hear experts discuss the latest responsive design topics. It also offers attendees the chance to share their latest projects and techniques.

“Best of all, the flexible format ensures that the content and style of the event will evolve based on each attendees’ individual interests,” said Mike McCann, eCoast committee member and managing partner of VennScience.

Touch-navigation and other impending design changes suggest that, in the future, simple wins out over complex or flashy

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

Microsoft’s announcement that a smaller Windows touch device is in the works is fanning rumors about the pending release of a 7-inch version of its Surface tablet, designed to compete with similarly-sized devices from Apple and Google. Web designers face new challenges to accommodate a user’s experience of the small touchscreen device, as opposed to working on a desktop or laptop computer.

Web designers should anticipate that in the not-too-distant future, websites may only (or primarily) work with touch swipes, taps and gestures.

How does this affect navigation and other elements of web design? “Top navigation common to most websites is tricky to duplicate on a touchscreen device, particularly hybrid touchscreen/keyboard combinations like those found on the Surface tablet,” says Jeremy Durant, Business Principal at Bop Design, a San Diego web design agency.

Touch-Navigation Changes on the Horizon

Increasingly, mobile-friendly website designs place navigation to the left or right of the screen, or at the bottom for easier use. A link that jumps to the bottom of the page, for example, frees up space for important content elsewhere.

Other possible touch-navigation changes on the horizon:

•     A triple-tap in the top corner displays menu-bar or site-map.
•     A pinch gesture reloads the web page.
•     A rotating gesture rotates page orientation.
•     Instead of “Click here to continue,” instructions will read “Drag this icon to continue” or “Tap here for more info.”

According to a study by the MIT Touch Lab, the average thumbs size is roughly equivalent to 72 pixels in width, while the size of the average finger falls in a range between 42-57 pixels. “Designers should take note,” Durant advises. “No business wants visitors to its site inadvertently clicking on too many links at the same time, thus causing frustration and disengagement.”

Links on touchscreens should be clearly distinct from other graphic elements on the page. They should also be easy to identify with images that differ sharply from the background.

Simple is Better

As Durant notes, “Touch-navigation and other impending design changes suggest that, in the future, simple wins out over complex or flashy. The designer’s first priority must be: On a tablet, mobile device and/or desktop, how easy it is for the user to access important links? Color schemes, typeface and background imagery should take a back-seat to this essential element.”

When typography is being considered, the key is readability. People hold touchscreen devices at a different distance while browsing (and, of course, dimensions vary, too). Forcing users to zoom in to read content just adds another step to the process.

“The only way to know for sure that your touchscreen designs work is through rigorous user testing,” Durant says. “Consider professional testing services or add a link on your site so users can give you their feedback.”

If in fact universal touch navigation is just around the corner, design will focus on larger buttons and fewer hidden navigation elements. Now is a good time to plan ahead.

“When you use 90 Second Website Builder, you don’t just get access to great web design software…you get access to me.” – Greg Hughes

Eugene OR (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

90 Second Website Builder has released the latest version of their drag and drop website building software. This release – Version 8 – has 150 additional features and updates compared to Version 7, making it the most versatile 90 Second Website Builder software package to date. As with previous releases, Version 8 includes additional web design resources. But now includes about 220 starter templates, a graphics library of approximately 8,000 images and several Internet marketing tips, hosting information and helpful web marketing resources.

The company is known for their “no credit card required offer”. Visitors to 90SecondWebsiteBuilder.com find access to a fully functional program to build a website under the “try before you buy” plan. Users utilize the software for a full month – creating an unlimited number of websites without risking any payment.

“Having been in the web hosting and web design software distribution business for so long, I have been able to help literally thousands of individuals and small businesses create a web presence for themselves.” said Greg Hughes, Principle Manager for the company, who has been doing business online since 1996. “People tell me our extensive video tutorial library has been an invaluable resource for them. Many of our customers are small businesses who are looking for a website for small business but have never built a website before. Now they can because with 90 Second Website Builder, they find personal support they can count on and tools that are simple to use.”

Unlike most software companies, 90 Second Website Builder has a unique form of very personalized support. All phone calls, emails and support desk tickets get personal attention from Greg himself – the producer of the training videos for 90 Second Website Builder. Hughes says, “I find that people respond well if they can talk to the actual person who is teaching them in a video – so I love helping our customers by phone, email and Skype. Our customers get more than just access to my software. They get access to me.”

ABOUT 90 SECOND WEBSITE BUILDER

90 Second Website Builder is available for a one-time cost of $69.95 via instant download. There is also a physical version available as well. A Mac Version of the website builder program is also available and sells for a little less. It’s called Drag and Drop Site Builder for Mac. Both the Mac and PC versions can be downloaded and used to build any number of websites for 30 days without making any payment in advance.

“I don’t want people to pay for the software until they know it will work for them”, says Greg Hughes. “That’s why our 30 day free trial is so important to our business model.”

While many similar products claim drag and drop simplicity, 90 Second Website Builder is probably the most literal drag and drop website builder. Users simply drag and drop images, text and other objects onto a page and it is done. Websites can easily be created from a blank canvas, or by starting with any one of the over 210 professionally design website templates. 90 Second Website Builder customers have used this program to build thousands of websites in various formats – from landing pages, full membership sites, sales pages, squeeze page websites, affiliate marketing websites and even mobile friendly websites. Basically any kind of website that can be imagined can be created with this drag and drop web design software.

What makes 90 Second Website Builder so powerful is a technical aspect that is unique to this program. It is actually a website generator – rather than a typical HTML editor. This is why it’s easy to use. Since it is based on a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) platform, users find it simple to drag and drop (and even stretch) website objects into place anywhere on their web page. Users maintain greater control and flexibility over the layout since they can “see what they get” in this drag drop website builder. Since objects can be placed in front of (or behind) other objects more depth and dimension is possible with this method of website building.

Navigation bars, ready-to-use JavaScripts, YouTube, Vimeo or other website videos, PayPal® buttons, subscriber optin-forms are all easily dropped into place along with dozens of other website elements. There is even a tool that makes it easy to add 3rd party components such as ClickBank affiliate links, Google Analytics, AdSense or Amazon products snippets to any webpage in a 90 Second Website Builder website project.

90 Second Website Builder gets hundreds of testimonials from happy users – especially regarding the company’s support. Hunter S., a 90 Second Website Builder user said it this way: “Thanks a bunch. This is why I love your products……you actually support them.”

Does your website design sound different from your competitor? Perhaps a little, but each web design expert has his ideas, techniques and creativity when it comes to craft a website. Whether you are a full-fledge web design Londonfirm or a freelancer you have to consider several things when getting the new project. Here are some of little known secrets most creative nerds have experienced, which in turn open gateways to new opportunities.

Quote Wisely
 

If a client is interested in your work he would love to know how much you charge. This is the first and most important step. Remember, there is just a minor line between pricing yourself low and selling yourself out of the market. So be smart and analyze all the aspects before you send a quote. Figure out how much time will the project take, what your client can pay, what’s the deadline, what expenses will incur and who will own the rights—your web design London Company or the client? Once you have the answers, quote wisely. If you are confused about whether you should charge a flat fee or hourly rate, don’t fret. Flat fee are best for small projects and hourly rates are suitable for big and complex projects where more work can be added.
 

Create an effective contract
 

Contracts are scary but they protect you and your clients from any surprises. There are hordes of contract templates available on internet, modify them and create a creative contract for yourself. Make sure your contract explains everything and is easy to understand.
 

Set Time for Revisions
 

Revision doesn’t waste time- it saves your efforts and money by detecting the problems at the right time. Many web design London artists forget this detail and get hurt when the client rejects their work. Set maximum number of revisions for each project. 
 

Say No to annoying projects
 

During your professional tenure, you get many clients who are willing to work with you on a low price. Should you accept their projects? No! Some customers try to play to get a lower price. They know you can develop the idea they are looking for but they want to slash the price. Don’t waste your time on creating proposal to fit their need, turn them down.
 

Handle confused customer smartly
 

Clients hardly know what they want, even when they say they do. That’s because they either have no industry knowledge or have too many ideas. As a web design London professional, it’s your responsibility to create outlines and bullet points that explain the project easily. Another way is to divide your process in phases so the client understands how much work is required in each step.
 

Save something for the Rainy day
 

Companiesface up and downs, and become steady after it but it’s wise to have some emergency funds or savings ready for the rainy day. It’s also important to keep your focus on marketing and SEO services. If you perform one man show, you can earn passive income by running a blog, writing e-book or developing tutorials for other blogs.
 

Wrap Up
 

Every Web Design London firm or expert is different from other—in the way it develops design, deal clients and process information. They only way to success is to learn new trends and practice the effective one creatively.

Media Release 23 May 2013

Responsive Web Design
Key to Successful Pet Site

New Zealand’s newest
online pet retailer, Pet.co.nz is leading by example with
the responsive design of its ecommerce site.

Pet.co.nz,
which launched in March, was built to work seamlessly across
smartphone, tablet and desktop computers to ensure customers
get the same user experience across all devices.

While
responsive web design isn’t a new concept, according to
Pet.co.nz Founder Shane Bradley, few ecommerce sites do it
well.

“Responsive design was integral to the build of
Pet.co.nz and we ensured it underpinned everything we did
from the very start,” says Bradley.

Bradley believes
responsive design is “becoming a necessity” with the
rapid adoption of tablets and smartphones as shopping
devices in New Zealand.  In the US, mobile sales are
expected to make up a 15 per cent share of all retail
ecommerce sales this year and Bradley is seeing this trend
mirrored in the early sales on Pet.co.nz.

“Already we
are seeing 23 per cent of our traffic on Pet.co.nz coming
from smartphones and tablets and we’re only expecting that
to increase,” he says.

Bradley knows a thing or two
about what makes a successful ecommerce site having founded
and sold market leading daily deal site,
GrabOne.

“Responsive design is essential for a truly
successful ecommerce site,” says Bradley. “Many sites
out there work okay on two out of the three platforms but
then fall over on the third.  This is where Pet.co.nz comes
into its own and, I believe, is establishing itself as one
of the best ecommerce sites in the market.”

Pet.co.nz
was born from Bradley’s personal need for a more
convenient way to shop for pet supplies.  With over 6,000
unique pet products from more than 280 local and
international brands, Pet.co.nz is New Zealand’s largest
online pet care
retailer.

Denver web design development firm InspireSmart has begun work on integrating its iPad sales presentation tool and ordering platform with SAP’s accounting and finance software.

Greenwood Village, CO (PRWEB) May 22, 2013

Denver web design and development company InspireSmart has officially partnered with enterprise software giant SAP to provide accounting platform integration with its past, present, and future custom mobile applications. InspireSmart has slowly grown to be one of Denver’s largest and most active web and mobile application development houses, and partnering with SAP will allow the company to offer its customers a higher level of integration with enterprise solutions.

For nearly a decade, InspireSmart’s Denver web development team has provided businesses in Colorado and across the U.S. with powerful custom solutions, such as enterprise ecommerce websites and, more recently, mobile, tablet-based sales tools. In early 2012, the company released its most ambitious product, iConnect, which is a web and iPad POS system and business management tool. Over a period of nearly 18 months, iConnect has experienced over 10,000 user signups, hundreds of which have converted to monthly paid customers.

With the announcement of this new partnership, InspireSmart plans on integrating its SPOT (Sales Presentation and Ordering Tool) app with SAP’s accounting platform. SPOT was originally built for a local enterprise company, and since its inception has been customized for a number of other companies. It is a full-featured iPad sales presentation tool and ordering platform that empowers sales teams to increase productivity, efficiency, and overall sales success.

Integrating SPOT with SAP’s accounting and finance software platforms will allow users to seamlessly sync sales and ordering data from the iPad to their SAP database. InspireSmart has performed integrations like these before with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, but this is the first time the company will enable a native iOS app to communicate directly with an enterprise level accounting system.

With this integration, InspireSmart hopes to further establish itself as a trusted business partner for companies that are looking to expand into the realm of mobile and cloud based technology. Work on this project will officially begin next month, and InspireSmart expects integration to be complete by the end of the year.

About InspireSmart

InspireSmart is a Denver web design and development firm, specializing in enterprise level business solutions. For nearly 10 years, the company has provided businesses with custom web and software development, ranging from building ecommerce websites to porting traditional desktop software to mobile platforms, such as iOS. One of InspireSmart’s latest creations is called SPOT (Sales Presentation and Ordering Tool), which aims to help sales teams increase efficiency throughout every stage of the sales process.
