The March of the Web Developers

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

We just got done watching the march of the penguins.  We were told that this would be a great movie for our kids - well, lets just say we were bombarded with questions.  Why are they acting like that?  What are they doing?  What is mating?  All of which we dodged like pros.  A little to young to discuss the reproduction of the animal kingdom.  It struck me very interesting as we were being bombarded by questions that we deal with similar questions from Indiana Web Development clients - well not exactly.  They are not asking about the bizarre reproduction of the penguins, it is more about the ins and outs of web development.  What makes a webiste effective?  How is Indiana Web Development Studio |  McGlinchy Media & Design, llc different from every other web development firm?  What steps should I take to ensure my site is effective?  What is SEO and how can it help my website? And many more questions.

If you are asking some of these questions, not the questions related to watching the march of the penguins, but questions about Indiana Web Design, Indiana Web Development and Indiana SEO - give us a call today!

First Fridays for Goshen, Indiana - no response for Indiana Website Design

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

First Fridays has been a pretty successful endeavor for the city of Goshen, Indiana.  Encouraging foot traffic downtown - providing entertainment and downtown life to those who will venture out.  Indiana Website Design is not necessarily something that people come out in droves to learn more about - but what they could learn in a few short minutes could change the way they view the internet.  Many people have very little understanding about the web and the way a website is built.  Sometimes we run into individuals that really undermine the technical aspect of creating a website and have reduced the process to pushing a few buttons and wham-o you have a website.  Well, it’s a bit more complex than that.

Others who consult with Indiana Website Design professionals overly complicate the process - expecting to consult with the molecular biologists of the tech world.  There is this misunderstanding at what a good website design truly is.  Luckily, there is help for those individuals who are looking for solutions on the web.  For more information contact an Indiana Website Design Professional today.

Oregon Chai is a great sub for Indiana Web Design

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

When there is no Tully’s Coffee shop or Starbucks available - a good substitute while working on an Indiana Web Design project is Oregon Chai.  It’s a nice blend of spices and flavor - kind of like good Indiana Web Design and Indiana Web Development.  Having a good blend of components creates a quality product.  Other Chai companies try to accomplish the same mixture that Oregon Chai has perfected, but cannot compare to the real thing.  Its like going to a small coffee shop, you never know what the quality of coffee is or the knowledge of the barista is sub-par and you get a sub-par beverage.  That is very similar to web design in Indiana - there are sub-par, if you don’t know any better you will think its great - until you taste a drink made by a knowledgeable barista and you have the experience that you were intended to have when you drink espresso.  So, make sure you test the knowledge of your Indiana Web Design firm just the same as you would your local barista - it could effect your entire experience.

Indiana Web Design: Article 1 - Website Text, the good, the bad, the ugly

Indiana Web Design: Website Text

The following are a few ideas for good website text.

  • Clear and short.  Be precise with your text content - users want to find the information fast and they dont want to listen to a long drawn out version.
  • Eye catching.  Make sure your Indiana Web Design text content looks nice and is easy to read.  Colors used for background and text colors should have a high contrast to make text easily read.
  • Solid headers.  You should have concise headers that explian what the paragraph of information is about.  Users dont like to read so much anymore - they like to scan.  So make Indiana Web Design text scanner friendly.
  • Support with creative, eye catching images.  Don’t use too many, but be sure to get some quality photographs to support your content.

These are just a few ideas on making your Indiana Web Design beautiful and effective.

After giving it a good go, Ask.com is holding the white flag and recongnizing Google as the leader

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Indiana SEO or Search Engine Optimization is working within the confines of Search Engine rules for growing a website’s page ranking. There are many steps involved in reaching out to the search engines and getting their attention. Letting them know what you are about and continuing to ‘grow’ in their eyes and by their standards. One of the smaller Search Engine companies, Ask.com, has been attempting to grab the Google audience for a few years now. They have spent millions in advertising (some of it was well spent, some of it was a waste of money with poor results) and were not able to break into the Search Engine Market - where Google is King. It appears that Ask.com will shift its focus back to its original demographic - married women. They offer information on cooking recipes, child raising, home decorating, etc. They are very optimistic about this shift in demographics and find that it will be a good direction for the company. Most analysts of Website Development, Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Activity, see the buy-out of Yahoo to Micro-if we can’t beat our competition, we’ll buy it-soft inevitable (which I do hope they are wrong) and have narrowed the Search Engine leaders to Google and Microsoft. Although I am not sure that MS 5.something percent can even come close to being named a leader, especially when you compare it to Google’s 78% share of the market. It is truly obvious who internet users view as the best Search Engine and who is, well - a push over. But according to Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, Google is “cute” and a “one-trick pony.” Apparently he doesn’t read the same statistics as the rest of the world. Indiana Web Development and Indiana SEO definitely follows Google’s direction and doesn’t really give a second notice to what Microsoft has to say - more than half the times their searches come up wrong anyway.

White Orca Spotted off Alaskan Coast

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

A rare sighting was caught on tape this past month.  In the end of February, while we were working on Indiana Web Development, scientists were conducting different acoustic studies and happened across the mythed “white” Orca, also known as the “Killer” whale, and sent everyone on the ship scrambling for their camera.  The camera’s were found in time to capture and document the orca and the scientific community is excited to finally document these whales that have been sighted between Alaska and the russian coast since as early as 1993.  Although these “white” Orca’s are not true albinos as scientist state that true albino orca’s typically do not live very long and usually die young with health complications.  Before beginning the Indiana web development company | McGlinchy Media & Design, llc - I lived in Snohomish, Washington north of Seattle, Washington and studied marine life in school.  So I am very fascinated by marine activity.  It is neat to finally see a documented photograph of the white orca.

the iPhone to rock the market - Apple releases application development plan

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

Games, Microsoft Applications like outlook, video recording… where will it end - or will it end at all?  The possibilities are endless for Apple’s iPhone.  Last week Steve Jobs announced the extensive flexibility of the Apple iPhone - they have stepped into a new relm.  When everyone thought that the iPhone just couldnt be better - especially Apple’s compitition who scrambled to create their copycat version - Steve Jobs takes it to a new level.  Now, not only do you have an amazing consumer electronic that can act as a mobile handheld pc - now it can sinc with all the applications of normal use.  These guys at Apple are freakin geniouses, there is no end to their engenuity - and they leave other tech companies - like Microsoft acting like imbisuls (see the article about Steve Ballmer) - nothing like a company CEO barking like a yipper dog, falling to the ground in dramatic display about the weight of the MacBook Air - nothing short of horrible attempt of a tech-geek turned comedian - WHAT THE HECK?  But, I guess they wanted a monkey to take over for Bill - and it looks like they got one.

So, with this in mind, we need to start focusing more on Indiana web design for handheld devices if we want to keep up with the pending technology.
