Disregarding Advice in Website Redesign
Forbes recently published an article on website redesign by Brandon Ortiz, the marketing director for Salesforce.org. In it, he describes the experience of talking with a friend about re-doing the site, and he offers what amounts to a very interesting thesis statement: “I listened selectively and ended up ignoring half of his advice.” In my […]
Minimalism vs. “Brutalism” in Modern Web Design
By now it is a widely-acknowledged fact that most familiar aesthetic of modern web design (W/D) is an aesthetic of minimalism. Recently, though, it has come to my attention that there is a term gaining more prominence which describes the reaction against the non-distinctive minimalism on display in most instances of reflexive W/D. That term […]
Celebrate Halloween Creatively with a Los Angeles Web Design Company
Halloween is this Tuesday and like many annual occasions, it illustrates the potential for a Los Angeles web design company to play a role in online marketing and audience engagement throughout the life of a client’s website. Some highly trafficked sites have made a habit of giving a spooky redesign to their homepages around Halloween. […]
A Local Web Design Company is a Foundation for SEO
It is encouraging when a major news outlet conveys the same information that I have tried to emphasize on this blog.

I’ve recently found a new article, at a blog site called Embedds, which offers one writer’s take on the design trends that appear to be predominant and particularly useful among web design companies in Los Angeles and other cutting-edge markets. While you could probably find a new article of this kind in some corner of […]
A Local Web Design Company Should Fill Many Roles
From time to time, you might encounter articles around the web that ask which is the more important contractor: your local web design company or your local SEO company. The first of these creates an engaging product for your visitors, so they will stay on the page and come back later. The second directs people […]
Not All Web Design Advice is Created Equal
As I previously mentioned, articles tend to proliferate across the web which attempt to describe current trends affecting web design companies in Los Angeles and throughout the country. While it’s certainly possible to focus solely on those articles that make insightful observations about the year ahead, there is also value in highlighting the fact that […]
More Video Content: A Solution for Some Sites, but Not All
In last week’s post, I pointed to a couple of articles speculating about current web design trends. One of those articles made the argument that video content would continue to become much more prevalent throughout this year and beyond. A blog post by video production company Key West Video predictably corroborated those claims, urging corporate […]
Mobile Web Design Alternatives
I have previously discussed the rise of responsive web design and the need to consider the devices that your visitors can be expected to use to access your site.
