Top 10 Web Site Design Mistakes PDF Print E-mail
Over the past 13 years that we've been in business, we've seen a lot of good web designs and a lot of bad ones. We've compiled a "Top 10 List" of the most common web design mistakes that we've seen, to hopefully educate customers when they're planning out their own web sites. This list isn't any kind of an official world-wide standard list, this is just a list of the top mistakes we've seen. The items in this list also appear in no particular order of importance, they all apply equally. This list also doesn't cover every possible mistake a person can make when planning their web site because there are thousands of ways to make a bad web site, and just as many ways to make a great web site. But, if you at least pay attention to this list when you are planning your own web site, this should keep you on the smart and sensible track and keep you from contributing to the ever growing list of web site disasters that continue to plague the internet. Take the time to listen to professional advise from people in the field who have seen what works and what doesn't. It'll make the difference between you having a successful web site, or one that potential customers and search engines avoid.

Breaking The Windows Choke-Hold PDF Print E-mail
The vast majority of computer users can't even imagine the concept of using a computer without Micro$oft Windows, even though they actually know in the back of their mind that computers have been around longer than Windows has. Do you really think the computers that the Apollo astronauts had on-board in their rockets actually ran a version of Windows? Microsoft didn't even release the first version of Windows until November of 1985, and even that was nothing but a lame hack attempt at copying the look and feel of the first Macintosh introduced at the beginning of 1984. It was buggy, required DOS to be installed and running first, and couldn't do much because there weren't any programs for it yet (aside from the 10 basic programs that Micro$oft bundled with it). A few years later came IBM OS/2 and then Linux (plus a handful of other obscure operating systems that never really took off). IBM OS/2 eventually died off, but Mac OS and Linux are still very much here. You've probably heard of Linux in the news, but you've never seen a commercial for it on TV like you see for Windows and Macintoshes. There has to be some reason why you never see Linux commercials on TV...Right?
