Web Design

Cooking dinner is by far one of my favourite things to procrastinate on (second only to the exciting task of cleaning up afterwards), which is why I occasionally find myself feasting on the delightful culinary stylings found in the supermarket’s frozen food section. Being inquisitive, I’ve even been known to actually read the ingredient list as I anticipate my upcoming demonstration of microwave mastery.

Web Browsers all do the same thing, right? How much different can Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome be from each other?

The content team has analyzed your user groups and writing killer copy that will definitely convert. Now is the day: website launch day. Your baby is finally ready to leave home! You may have the keys to your new website, but you also have a problem. You have no style.

Websites are the primary communication medium for most businesses today, but we forget a website, just like other mediums, has restrictions. So how do we keep Sue from Marketing, Mohammed from HR, and Jeff in Customer Support happy, all at once?
