SEO Guide for Designers

SEO Guide for Designers

According to a poll I conducted, just over 1 out of 10 people don’t think SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is mandatory as a designer; and what really surprised me is about 24% don’t even know what SEO is! If you’re among the quarter of people who don’t know what SEO is or understand how it can help you, you should really read this article. This is an SEO guide for designers who want to learn about making it easier for websites or blogs to be found by search engines. I’ll explain the common mistakes made by designers and developers. Then I’ll provide some basic tips that you should be practicing to optimize your site for search engines.

Viget Labs - The Blog Series

Viget Labs - The Blog Series

Viget Labs, a web development firm based outside of Washington, have been in the industry since 1999. With a team of 30 people, Viget Labs sure has a lot to blog about. Instead of writing everything on one massive blog, they separate their blogs into four divisions: Advance, Inspire, Extend, and Engage. Each blog has unique topics and design theme that are nicely wrapped together. I like them so much that I featured all their blogs on Best Web Gallery. In this article, Viget Labs is going to share their internal design process of the blog series with us. Don’t miss the insider tips!

Linn Olofsdotter

Linn Olofsdotter - Mixed media artist

Location: Portland
Website: www.olofsdotter.com

Growing up in Sweden, Linn was exposed to art and design from an early age, but it wasn’t until she was in her early twenties that she decided to become an artist. After a few years of flirting with both motion graphics and advertising she realized it was illustration she had passion for and left everything else to pursue that as a career.

Her colorful illustrations are often described as emotional, surreal and a little naughty. These are qualities that have brought her clients such as Samsung, Green Peace, Oilily, La Perla and Levi’s amongst many others

While Linn has lived in several different places, she finds endless inspiration in traveling to imaginary magical worlds. Rich forests and reflective oceanic pools are themes she often references as sources of creativity.

Review: XHTML Challenge

Review: XHTML Challenge

XHTML Challenge is a freshly launched project by Valentin Agachi, which enables you to create challenges between two websites. The script will analyze the sites’ XHTML markups and return a report for the visitors to vote. The signup process and overall workflow is very simple. Within a minute, I created a challenge between Best Web Gallery and CSS Remix (see the challenge).
