Web design isn’t all colorful graphics and fun mouse-over effects; it requires a lot of forethought and strategic planning. I decided to write about the process involved in my recent site redesign, to give an idea of the way I work, as well as some useful tips to consider when planning for your own website design or redesign. In this post, I take a look at the initial planning I did before I even opened up my graphics programs or wrote the first line of code.

Search Engine Love

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is on every website owner’s mind. We all want our sites to be noticed and ranked (highly, we hope) by the search engines so that our target audience can find us easily on the web. That is, after all, the whole point of having a website!
Do You Tweet?
Feb 26, 2009 | 0 Comments
I’ve been on Twitter for a while now, and I love the idea of it: say your piece in 160 characters or less. I often want to blog, but feel like I can’t come up with enough material for an entire blog piece, and Twitter has been the perfect solution for me. I can Tweet the random thought that just popped into my head, or a brief status update, and not feel like I need to struggle with more content to go along with it.
