Friday, June 3, 2011 – Last night, iMarc kicked off summer with a sailing adventure and dinner on Plum Island. We sailed out of Newburyport harbor on the 9th Wave, a fast sailing catamaren, then headed to Mad Martha's Cafe on Plum Island. Here are some photos: Also check out our Facebook page for some videos.

Friday, April 15, 2011 – I just realized that it's been over a year since we welcomed a new hire on our blog. Twitter gets the blame for that. But still, the last new employee we blogged about was the magnificent Katie Desmond back in February 2010. Since Katie joined iMarc, we've added 5 more to our team. Let's review and say "Hi" to... Nick Page joined the developer team last summer. Before coming to iMarc he completely rebuilt his home. Now he rebuilds websites…

Monday, August 30, 2010 – Writing content for the web can be difficult and overwhelming. However, by keeping two simple guidelines in mind, writing good web content is possible. Guideline #1: Direct Your Reader All good writing directs the reader – whether it's a trifold brochure directing someone to call a phone number or a novel directing the reader's imagination.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 – Today one of iMarc's showcase websites went off the air. We're sad to see it go, but for this client, taking the site down was the ultimate success. Ounce Labs was a software company. Their flagship product could be used to identify security vulnerabilities in software source code. Ounce had some big clients including Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy. When Ounce Labs came to iMarc, their website was highly technical. The content played to…

Monday, January 4, 2010 – For the past 975 days our website looked the same. Some of the content changed. Some of the graphics changed. But basically the design template that launched in May, 2007 was still employed in December, 2009. That design held up well for two and half years. However, since we're a web design company, we should eventually redesign our own website, right? Not really. A full-blown, big-splash redesign is rarely the ideal solution.…
