I found this post and thought it was great to share. When we get files from agencies, there are usally a mes and below are a few tips on how to prepare those files.
Whether you’re a freelance web designer or part of a team at an agency, handing off Photoshop files to a client, developer, development team or even another designer is part of the process of building websites.
Whereas the development process is generally more structured, by contrast, the design process is quite often spontaneous and full of experimentation. This can lead to a host of unused and unnamed layers that don’t end up as part of the final approved design. For developers, sifting through a quagmire of unnamed layers (Layer 1, Layer 1 copy, etc.) can be confusing and time consuming.
Designers can help their counterparts or clients before the design hand-off by taking 10 to 15 minutes to prepare files in a consistent and organized manner that can potentially save developers hours of production time. As an added bonus, an organized Photoshop file will save designers time by minimizing development questions after the file has been handed off for coding.
1. Prepping the File
First and foremost, make a copy of the Photoshop file that contains the approved design and add the suffix -prod to the file name. This way you can recognize a production file immediately and know that this file type is for development use only and not for further design refinements. (more…)
I thought this was good find. You will always have a few clients who like to do things themselves, which is fine, but if it looks like this in the end. Well it is crap. http://www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/
So I have found a few websites that can guide you and posted some tips below.
Bad Web Site Design
Why are there so many bad web design techniques in use today? Anyone that spends time online sees them everyday, and they make us all crazy. With a wealth of good web design information available, you would think that these web sites would change their ways. Below is our TOP-TEN list of the worst web design techniques. (more…)
Go to your Event, Group or page and click “Invite People”.
Once the page has loaded you should see all of your friends, but they are not selected.
At this point, copy and paste the javascript code below into your Web browser’s address bar, then hit “Enter”.
If all goes well, it selects all of your friends!
It takes some time for all of the invites to be sent. They go into a queue. So if you saw them all get selected, just be patient. The messages WILL get delivered over the next 24 hours or so.
Oh, and by the way, if you found this helpful please tweet it or share it on Facebook to help others find it too. The more people who share it, the more people it helps!
Social marketing tips from Penny Power, Founder of business social network Ecademy, whom talks about the power of a great blog, and how you can get it behind your site. See more business news television shows featuring these experts, as they give their top expert business advice at http://www.yourbusinesschannel.com
Penny Power: How would you actually phrase a blog, how would you write? I think people have different writing styles, again remember its not about broadcasting, people dont want to be broadcasted out. I find the most enjoyable blogs are ones where people, I feel like they’re talking to me, I feel like they’re sharing some useful information, its not, they’re not too long and they know when to stop rambling, they know something that’s interesting and they’re saying it in a conversational style so I would tend to sit down and write something almost as if I was having a conversation with someone. Broadcasting is something you shouldnt do; just shouting the information to people is very off putting.
Called the “Ebay for space” by Time Magazine, Airbnb is an online marketplace allowing anyone from private residents to commercial properties to rent out their extra space. The reputation-based site allows for user reviews, verification, and secure online transactions. Listings include vacation rentals, private rooms, entire apartments, bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels, castles, treehouses, and many other traditional and non-traditional accommodations.
How it works
The open platform allows users to post listings of their space. Prospective travelers can search by city or country, utilizing filters such as price and room type to find exactly what suits their needs. Travelers contact hosts directly through the web site, which includes user profiles and friend recommendations. Dates are confirmed through on-site messaging, and the traveler books directly online using their credit card or PayPal account. Hosts receive a reservation request which they can accept or decline. Both parties then receive an itinerary on accepted reservations, and are set to go.
There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg Florida Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: “How Would You Fix the Economy?” I think this guy nailed it!
Dear Mr. President,
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ‘s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan“: (more…)
The Social Media phenomenon continues to accelerate. Kanishka Suranaposted some interesting 2009 Social Media Stats he had gathered about the current growth of Social Marketing on our Think Conversation Linkedin Group today. I share them with you below:
So here is an Almanac (of sorts) around Social Media and adjacent technologies:
Social Media has overtaken porn as the number one activity on the Web.
Facebook has more than 250 million active users (more than 120 million users log on to Facebook at least once each day), Skype has 480 million, and PayPal has 75 million. (July 2009.)
Facebook saw over 1 billion video views in June 2009. That’s still far less than that 1.2 billion YouTube sees every day, but it undoubtedly makes Facebook one of the top video sharing sites on the web. (Source: TechCrunch, July 2009.)
Facebook is also the largest photo sharing site, with more than 10 billion photos uploaded as per February 2009 (source: TechCrunch). Flickr currently boasts 3,841,609,965 pics. (more…)
