Wonder of Learning Boston Exhibit

Ten Web Design Trends for 2018
Social media behemoth Twitter surprised users when they introduced circular user photos, but this signaled the start of a trend. Web design has always been rather “boxy”, focusing on lines, hard edges, polygons, and rectangles– or at least, this was the case until 2017. The preference for fluid shapes and circles is already beginning to develop, so expect to see this continue through the new year as website design trends towards being pleasant to look at, smooth, and flowing freely.

No HTTPS? Not on my watch.
Good news for all of my WordPress web design clients who use my hosting services. As of this weekend, ALL of my WordPress sites will have a SSL certificate and run HTTPS exclusively. HTTPS enables both the best performance the web offers and powerful new features that are too sensitive for HTTP. A bit of history: In January, Google began their quest to improve how Chrome communicates the connection security of HTTP pages. Chrome now marks HTTP pages as “Not secure” if they have password or credit card fields. Beginning in October 2017, Chrome will show the “Not secure” warning in two...

It makes the difference between a website where users find what they are looking for and one which causes so much frustration that users want to abandon it. The whole point of designing a website is to allow access the content, so the success of the design depends entirely on the quality of navigation user experience. It has the same as the navigation of a ship out at sea, which can mean life or death to the sailors on board. A website that provides a poor navigation loses conversions and can kill the business.
