If there is ever a need for a website for this co-op (I would like DIF Design to be considered) I own COLORSPRINGFIELD.COM

I was doing some late night research (what else is new?) and came across a very useful post by Carsten Cumbrowski, born in Germany, now living in California, specializing in website development and internet marketing.
This is a great overall check list that you should review prior to designing a website, and then again, prior to [...]

Welcome to GreenSpringfield. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.

Great post, thank you. I have found my self a few times breaking those rules. The hardest one for me was to click “reply all”. Now I realize that some times “reply all” could mean being accountable and inlcluding others. All these rules are a bit funny considering that the email was invented for non [...]

Here is a great article I came across while doing some research online today. It’s written by Glen Stansberry on NetTutsPlus.com blog. This particular blog post is a part of Blog Action Day 2009 Climate Change.

Climate change is greatly affected by our carbon footprint. As web developers, it may not seem that we make huge [...]

This is a great event. Last year the event had over 600 people that came out to the conference. DIF Design had the honor to assist with this year’s conference web site and the program guide design. Make sure you check out the event and consider attending.

This is to all of you, who have an iPhone. Yes, there should be a club for people like us, with a very cool name…may be something like - iClub (just kidding).

With over 50,000 iPhone apps available and still growing, iPhone is becoming everything to those who have one. Last night I was going through [...]

Myth - It’s NOT affordable.

Today, web sites are common. Getting your web site designed by a professional that does not use templates and does all their work from scratch is priceless (and affordable, I will explain). The presence of templated web sites on the internet made many businesses look a like. Every business owner knows, [...]

Myth - It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s cheap.

Did you know that in order to customize your template you must have knowledge of web development software? Did you know that in most cases the templates are very limited, and are not expandable? Do you have the time and money to waste in editing and customizing?

Although [...]

I agree with your thought regarding “doing it their way”. Times have changed, and are rapidly changing (especially with all the web development). If a company does not offer creative content for their prospects/clients, they are not staying current.

Do you have any hints regarding multimedia presentations for web or sales?

Myth - More (keywords) is better.

More isn’t necessarily better, but it is all about making your content relative. Search engine criteria changes constantly and what was beneficial to your web site 6 months ago, could ruin your visibility today.

Meta data (keywords and descriptions) is slowly but surely moving down on a list of importance. As [...]

Myth - Registration of a domain name and web site hosting is complicated and expensive.

Registration of your domain name no longer requires web development knowledge, and shouldn’t cost you more than $9 a year. There are many ICANN accredited organizations that offer a user-friendly setup to register your domain name. GoDaddy and Network Solutions are [...]

Sounds like you had fun. I wish I was there. I think that there a lot of bad web sites out there that are created by an amateur, there are also a lot of bad web site that are created by a professional. I would agree with you that if its so horrible - don’t [...]

Web sites. There are so many of them. It seems that everyone has a web site today, and if they don’t - well, then they should. Not having a web site in today’s visual world can damage or even ruin your business. As a web designer, I know that there are so many different option/solutions [...]
