I saw something the other day about a father explaining to his kids that he was older than Google, and their minds were blown. It’s crazy to me some days that I work in a career (building websites) that didn’t exist when I was born and was such a new, foreign concept when I was […]

Custom Websites Can be Easy to Update

Custom Websites Can be Easy to Update

We get a lot of questions when we first meet with a client to design and build their new website. Most of them include the same one – can I (or an employee) update the site myself after it’s done? After all, your website is not something static that never changes, and you’ll hear (and […]

The Website is the New Storefront

If you’re a business owner with a physical location, you often put a lot of care and love into your storefront. You choose everything from your outdoor signage to paint color and decor carefully to make sure that it represents the image you want to present to the world. And yet, how often do we […]

Your Website Is Not Static

The title above might seem a bit rudimentary. Of course your website isn’t static. It’s a website.

Your Website Will Not Perfect

It may seem a bit backwards for a web design firm to tell you that the website we or someone else might build for you won’t be perfect. We’re basically undercutting our own core mission, right?

Don’t be Fooled by a “Free” Website

Don’t be Fooled by a “Free” Website

As we near the end of another April Fool’s Day, many of us have spent most of the day not believing much that family or friends posted on social media, questioning news stories, and looking for the hidden joke in our coworkers’ stories.

If You’re Not Responsive You’re Falling Behind

If You’re Not Responsive You’re Falling Behind

As a developer responsive is the only way I’m programmed now. After two years, I see sites in grids that should respond and flow to the size of a browser. I think mobile first, think about the desktop last. A lot of our customers and users are just now really starting to understand what a […]
