Indiana Web Design more enjoyable on Mac OS X 10.5 - Leopard

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

The creative geniuses that get their paychecks signed by Steve Jobs have done it again.  As a creative Web Designer, I am more impressed with the individuals that can come up with great ideas, new ways of doing things, unique, individualistic… etc.  And I think that may be the main reason I fell in love with the MAC platform two years ago after I made my first mac purchase.  It’s not only that things simply just work better, it’s also the fact that the folks at Apple are not only smart but innovative.  They don’t just capitalize on other creative individuals ideas (well, at least it seems as though they don’t, at least not when you compare them to the other OS out there).  It is must be flattering and frustrating to be copied by the largest computer company out there.

For this Indiana Web Design company and for business owners alike, the new features found in OS X 10.5 are invaluable.  For example, just yesterday I was on the phone with a prospective client and they asked a question about the web design proposal.  Well, any of us who have had experience with Adobe Acrobat know that it’s not the quickest loading program there is.  Alas, one of the new features in Leopard is a quick view (which I can only imagine will show up on the next version of windows) - this quick view allows me to instantly view my 14 page proposal, locate the specific section my client had a question about, review the material with the client and resolve his inquesition.  In about the same time it would have taken for adobe to open the document, and not just the first page, the 11th page, I had addressed, educated and resolved the question at hand and was on to other matters… THANK YOU MAC!

If you are an Indiana Web Design company, I would highly reccomend considering the switch - its kind of like switching from black and white TV to Color or AM frequency to FM - or ASP (UGH) to PHP (YEAH)…  Well, there is my soapbox, now its back to Web Design and Web Development in Indiana (where the ice falls like frozen water - not as bad as other midwest states though).

Layout and Indiana Web Design

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Indiana Web Design layout is extremely important.  The average user determines within a fraction of a second if they will continue to browse a site or exit.  If the layout is not functional and doesn’t catch a users attention, they are most likely to leave right away.  Presentation goes a long way on the internet.  Having good presentation, something unique - which is getting to be more difficult for Indiana Web Design company’s to continue to come up with creative ideas to keep users interested in our sites, but that is the fun of working in the Indiana Web Development Industry.   The community of Web Site Designers and Website Developers are constantly inventing new ways to do things, revamping the old ways and pushing the envelope of why things are the way they are.  Look for these Indiana Web Design companies that are constantly pushing the envelope of creativity and efficiency.

Good images for Indiana Web Design

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

It is amazing to me, as the owner of an Indiana Web Design Company, just how many professional companies choose to represent themselves online to the world with sub-par images.  Statistics show that the majority of users make a judgement on a website within the first second they are at the site.  Images caputre people’s attention - good images, in a good way.  Bad images, well… you get where I am going with this.  Effective websites utilize quality graphics, intentional text and a welcoming layout.  A good website will draw users in instantly and keep their attention while they find what they came for.  Good quality images will speak volumes to Website users.  If your site is in need of a qality web site revamp contact your Indiana Web Design company and get started on your new look today.

Snow slows Goshen, Indiana roads but not Indiana Web Design

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

As the snow falls here in Goshen, Indiana, I sit with my cup of Tully’s Coffee working on an Indiana Web Design project.  It is beautiful when you are inside, doing what you enjoy, creating new ideas, assisting businesses with internet marketing, etc.   Many Indiana based company’s are looking to re-design their website as well as many Colorado based company’s that are looking for new website designs.  It is interesting how the Colorado Web Design industry is growing almost as fast as the Washington Web Design industry.  And don’t forget SEO.  It has become apparent to me that more and more company’s are finding out about SEO and want to make something happen.  You are starting to see the Flash designers take a back seat to the SEO guys.  Cool websites are a dime a dozen, but its now transitioning to cool and EFFECTIVE website design.  Company owners want to see quantifiable results.  They are interested in tangable numbers, effective conversion rates, long term customers from their website; not just gawkers at how cool their website is.

Website owners are looking for Web design and Web Development that looks creative and professional but is also effective in reaching their goals.  If you are reading this and agree with the desire for an effective and creative website, contact Indiana Web Design - McGlinchy Media & Design, LLC.
