iMarc recently completed a web site for Wolf & Company, Certified Public Accountants & Business Consultants. With a century-long history of service, it was important to Wolf to show their community heiritage side-by-side with their wide range of expertise. Since staff recruitment and retention is key to a service-based company such as Wolf, the site also showcases career opportunities and growth potential.
Of course, the site has to be easy to…

Jump to the screen shots »After sitting on the Yahoo! Mail Beta waiting list for about two months, I was finally given access just before Christmas. I had been highly looking forward to this since earlier this summer I made the change from an OS email client (Mozilla Thunderbird) to a web client. I didn't want to just switch to a single web email account, I wanted to check all of my five pop3 accounts through a single web mail interface. In an earlier…

When we design a site, one of our main goals is to make things as simple for the user as possible. These enhancements includes streamlining the navigation, generally-standardized positioning of main elements and increasing the "obviousness" of things. While the public side of a site is the most important aspect, something that is often overlooked is the administration area.
All of our dynamic sites come with their own online tool-kit that…

If you've worked with Apache much at all, you have probably used some Redirect commands, or even mod_rewrite. Every once in a while these nasty inifinite loops occur or you just get the wrong content from the server. LiveHTTPHeaders is the Firefox developer tool for exactly these situations.
To the right is a screen shot of the extension in action after requesting http://www.google.com. As you can see, it displays all of the http headers…

An article in this week's A List Apart is about my favorite subject:
Grids
Thinking Outside The Grid is the latest in a recent string of web articles pushing the use of grid systems as a tool for online design.
In traditional print design, learning about grids was taught right before, "Introduction to Pencils". Unless you were David Carson, you were thrown a copy of Josef Muller-Brockmann's Grid Systems in Graphic Design, and told:…

A battle was never won according to plan and a battle was never won without a plan.
- Napoleon
In 1999, a New Zealand Habitat for Humanity chapter built a house, from scratch, in 3 hours and 26 minutes, after spending 14 months planning the project. 0.03% of their time was spent in execution, 99.97% of their time, planning.
Chris Hardwick also had a plan when he solved a Rubik's Cube blindfolded in 18.50 seconds. He spent 99.8%…

I was just browsing around and saw some very, very good news.
Microsoft was looking for an icon to use for their Web browser to indicate that a site has RSS feeds available. They came up with a bunch of their own, posted in their blog about it, asking what the people thought.
The result? People said liked the icon Firefox already used.
It is at this point that things could go only one of two ways:
1: Microsoft does their usual; forging…

It's been over five years since our move to downtown Newburyport. Over this time we've watched local artists capture Inn Street in every way they know how: paintings, photographs, quick sketches, even the occasional video shoot.
(A couple examples: Newburyport Downtown, Massroads.com)
We've always been missing from these paintings, at least until now.
The next time you're strolling down Inn Street, look…
