In 1918, William Strunk wrote in The Elements of Style “a sentence should contain no unnecessary words.”
A century later, it's still true:
Cutting word count in half doubles comprehension
Mobile content is 2x harder to read than desktop
Desktop reading is 20–25% slower than paper
Users read only the first 2 words of a paragraph as they scan down a page
Strunk didn't go far enough. Don't just “omit needless words”. Cut…

Now that 2012 is well underway, I imagine some of your personal New Year’s resolutions to tame the bulge, fit in fitness, or spend less money have taken a substantial hit. A fact of life is that some resolutions are much easier to commit to than actually undertake.
Is a site redesign among your company’s New Year’s resolutions? Like so many other resolutions, identifying the much-needed overhaul to your site is easier to do than figuring out how…

For the past 8-9 years at iMarc the employees get together in late December for their annual Secret Santa exchange. Each employee is randomly assigned another employee to buy a gift for through our web based Secret Santa generator (we seriously have this). Once assigned it's up to you to purchase something for less than $30 that you think would really resonate with that person's character. In the past I've received a Whip, a multi-tool and an…

As a woman in business who works in an industry that is predominantly male, it’s always great to see other women being recognized for their success. Successful business women provide inspiration, mentorship, and guidance to their peers and colleagues. It’s hard to believe that even now, women in management roles are still a minority in the workplace. According to the Boston Business Journal (BBJ) "Nationwide, only 3 percent of top positions…

I've been assured that our holiday party last night made a well known mobile platform developer's holiday party look "really, really lame". Apparently that guest was having a good time. The MAD MEN theme, combined with wine, beer, and Rock Band, seemed to generate a crowd.
Being web geeks, we have some digital party favors for you…

My gang, they crack me up. Nick made the call to spring everyone early today, and so in theory we are closed right now and everyone is long gone. So I just went for a stroll and of course NOT ONE of them has departed. Liberal application of the verbal cattle prod got them moving, but that is indeed what it took. Happy Thanksgiving, iMarcians and friends. Hope it s a great holiday for you all.

Thanksgiving is just days away, and it is a time of expressing gratitude for all the blessings bestowed throughout the year. At iMarc, we are thankful for receiving more accolades on our work from our peers in the Internet business and marketing community. We also just celebrated our 14th birthday as a thriving business, and are thrilled to have added more clients and iMarcians to the mix this year.

Update 12/5/2011: Here’s the final invite for the holiday party. It’s a double sided 8"x10" print,
Today was photo shoot day for the 2011 iMarc holiday party invitation. This year’s theme – I can’t tell you that yet. What I can tell you was that the gentlemen were in suits and ties and the ladies were in dresses. Being new to photography, I made sure to bring my camera to snap some behind-the-scenes photos of the process. The creative team set…
