| Latest Web Design Trends – 2011
HTML5 and CSS3 now allow designers and developers to create more readable code, and more advanced layouts. HTML5 offers much of the same design functionality of Flash, without the compatibility and SEO issues. CSS3 allows designers to create visual depth with box and text shadows, edit the opacity of colored elements, create multiple background images and more. What does this mean for your website? Faster, better features, greater flexibility, and easier mobile device accessibility! Until recently, designers have been forced to use web-safe fonts, or create text as a rasterized image – using a static image instead of actual text isn’t the best for SMO! Now, tools like WhatTheFont, CSS Typeset and Typester allow designers to use a wide variety of fonts without sacrificing search engine optimization. Designers also now create websites with mobile use in mind. People are more comfortable shopping on their phones, and mobile or app versions of ecommerce sites are on the rise. You may notice changes in links and buttons, as designers are now taking into account the need for more finger space around links. Less clutter, clear navigation, and pared-down content all help users browsing mobile versions of websites. |
It’s in the back of your mind. You even jot down great ideas for new posts. But actually finding the time to sit down and write a blog post can easily be pushed to the back burner as other business responsibilities arise.
Regularly blogging has a number of benefits. For one, it’s a streamlined way to share company or industry news, updates, and tips. Blogging also keeps content fresh for search engines to recognize, which improves SEO. Blog posts can even be targeted for a group of keywords on which you would like to gain more traffic.
Boomtown offers convenient guest blogging services to actively maintain your blog while you take care of business. Our bloggers will update as often as you wish using content ideas of your own or by aggregating ideas from other sources. We will discover the latest industry trends by setting up Google Alerts, optimize each post for relevant keywords, and automate blog posts on Facebook and Twitter so you can be heard.
