All this talk about non-profits

By Emily Spirek on January 7, 2011 at 4:17 pm in General,non-profit

Yes, it’s true. This is the third blog post in a row that we’ve spilled our guts about non-profits. We might go as far as saying we love them more than oranges. Say what? That’s a big deal.

Anyway, since we’ve done all this talk about them, we thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of some of the organizations who:

  1. We’ve completed websites/design work for in the past
  2. Are currently in the website process
  3. Have recently signed with us

These are some great organizations, so please check them out. Also be sure to keep your eyes peeled for updates of newly launched sites!

Email List Tips

By Tim Priebe on November 27, 2008 at 6:30 am in Email

We started a new Email List Tips blog late last week. So if you’re looking for advice on marketing through an email newsletter (or enews), check the new blog out.

Here’s a sample entry:

Here’s another quick tip for you. Your newsletter subscribers have to actually get something out of your newsletter. While you may be tempted to send out something that interests you, or perhaps company news, take a minute and make sure you’re writing about something your customers, clients and future customers and clients actually care about.

Not sure? Bounce it off a customer or client you already have. Find someone who knows you well enough to give you their honest opinion. Ask them if they think your subscribers will even care about it. Their honest answer will translate into dollars and cents.

Feel free to chime in over there and let us know what you’d like to hear about.

Oh, and happy Thanksgiving to all you eating turkey and such today!

New Techniques: Adobe Fireworks Tutorials

By Dave Roach on November 19, 2008 at 11:55 am in Design

Sometimes the best way to improve your designs is to learn new techniques. I find that when I design a site, sometimes I inadvertently limit myself because I do not know the best way to do certain things. By following through a few tutorials, you can really expand your knowledge, thus enabling you to be a better designer. I have found that fireworks tutorials are not as easy to come by as others, so here is a good list to get you started:

Flisterz

Layers Magazine

Adobe Developer Connection

Abduzeedo

Sixthings

Fireworkszone

Qrayg

Voidix

Firetuts

Youtube

Senocular
