The value of web design, and how you can significantly improve your blog traffic.

It never fails to surprise us how design can have such a strong impact on a site’s performance. Recently we had the opportunity to do a complete redesign for one of our client’s blogs: americanehr.com/blog.

Why Facebook Deals may drive out other group buying platforms.

Amidst all the hype about social commerce, Facebook just launched its first test of Facebook Deals among several US cities. Deals is Facebook’s new group-buying platform, which competes with other sites like Groupon, LivingSocial, and Google Offers.

Dare to Stare Your Online Customers in the Eyes

Email addresses are a pretty good place to start. An email address may be all you need to start identifying who your customers really are. You wouldn’t think an email address would tell you much about them, other than whether they like Hotmail or GMail, or whether they haven’t changed it since high school. However, [...]

Way to Freak Out the Luddite!

I’m about as far from an early adopter as you can get. I generally get a bit freaked out by even the notion of new technology and often find myself wondering just why we need most of this stuff. If it were up to me we would probably all be sitting around outdoors, drawing pictures [...]
