Post pobrano z: Why You Need a Mobile Friendly Website More Than Ever
Smartphones have revolutionized how we use and understand web design. Websites these days need to be mobile-friendly, or else there’s a risk of losing readers, or customers, or clients – whatever your website is looking to garner. There are even some households that entirely forego the use of laptop or desktop computers, since the start up price of purchasing a mobile phone and the ability to pay it off in increments every month with their cell phone bill, dwarfs in comparison to the price of a laptop or desktop computer.
In fact, the use of mobile devices is so prevalent outside of laptop or desktop computers, that some homes even install a mobile repeater, because that is their only access to the internet. Homes in rural areas especially would use a GSM repeater, as it’s customary in France, etc., as in many areas the mobile phone signal is weak. The main goal of this is to make sure that their access to the internet is never disrupted – and you, too, should make sure your mobile website is always accessible, even to those who can’t access a computer.
Catering to mobile users in your web design is the way of the future. Creating a mobile website that’s user-friendly and completely accessible is almost required now that the internet is at your fingertips. People are using their mobile devices to apply for jobs, order items, browse the internet, read the news – everything that you can do on a browser, people are starting to do on their cell phones. A website that doesn’t have an accessible or user-friendly mobile website will immediately lose followership, by virtue of excluding those people who have only access to the internet happens to be their smartphone, thanks to devices found on online store of cell phone boosters.
Though, not just useful for those who have only access to their smartphones, websites with mobile-friendly interface are perfect for people who are also always traveling, especially for business. Being able to do business on their smartphones and tablets allows people a great ease of access. A mobile-friendly website will ensure that clients, business people, or just anyone who travels and needs quick and easy access to your site will be able to do so. Everyone wins when your website completely translates between desktop and laptop browsers, and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
User-friendly is a must when it comes to translating your website into a mobile website! You don’t want to have your website just become a squished, smaller version of web browser site. Do away with the flashy graphics and rotating pictures. Simple, user-friendly and accessible is the key here! You’ll also want to make sure that all the information that can be found on your desktop site is also available on the mobile version as well.
Smartphones are making everyone’s lives easier, with nearly instant access to all kinds of information and websites. Making sure that your website keeps up with the times is key – and making sure that it doesn’t make someone’s life harder is important, too! Do your best to make sure your mobile website does your web content, business or client justice.

Raymond Gid is a French graphic designer who specialized in posters and typography. He started working as early as the 1930s, but his most prominent work was done in the 60s and 70s.
Gid created posters for many famous French movies of his time and could be compared a bit to Saul Bass for the relationship he had with directors. He also designed for more commercial work, like the one he did for fashion companies.

Joining South Florida’s lush, green canopy of real trees are a new crop of solar trees. These “trees” have blue trunks and bear no fruit, but supply clean energy to whoever needs it.
If you’re at the beach and your phone starts to die, you can charge it right here using Solar Power.
Here’s how the solar trees work: Each solar tree comes with 2 solar powered panels up top. Some of that energy collected is powering the grid of the community, and to a nearby box that send electricity to plugs where phones or compuers can be charged.

This Grotto was commissionned by the Centre Pompidou in Paris for an exhibition about 3D printing. It displays an interesting look at the type of new architectural structures that 3D printing could bring to the world.
Post pobrano z: 5 Tips to Make your Stunning Website Convert Better
Having a knock out site design is no longer enough to convert browsers into buyers. Your users must see your site as one in a thousand regarding quality, appearance, and usability. Conversions only happen if a site user is bowled over and knocked out by the page on their screen.
You need a telepathic connection with each guest. That’s not possible, but you can see what they are doing and interpolate their thinking and intentions from their actions.
Sometimes you can wake up someone who is browsing in an absentminded fashion with the right stimulus.
One of the best ways to wake up your visitors is to install OptinMonster.
OptinMonster will help you send wake-up calls to everyone visiting your site. In addition to customer segmentation options and exit pop-ups, OptinMonster lets you convert any image into a two-step opt-in process, eliminating the need for a landing page. The software also includes A/B testing, floating bars that no-one can ignore and mobile-specific pop-ups, all of which add up to a complete marketing suite.
If your website is boring nobody will hate you, but nobody is going to love you either.
Even you cannot be all things to all people. Some people are going to hate you.
Bland is never going to win the conversion game. Be different, aim your website design at your target profile and people in your target group will love you. Those are the only ones who matter to your business, and the haters will fade into insignificance.
Consider using different fonts from the standard Arial, Times, Calibri and Verdana. Your audience might love your eccentricity. This Designer Daily article will give you a few ideas.
Clutter is bad news, even on a 28-inch monitor. On a phone or tablet screen, a cluttered web page is a disaster. It is hard to have too much negative space on a display because it helps the important things like CTA buttons to stand out. Use large buttons for all important links so that mobile users can click more easily.
Make your buttons unique by downloading MaxButtons’ customizable web buttons collections.
Some of the MaxButtons collections are free, but the whole deal, including every collection, is a steal at $19.
Avoid confusing visitors over what they should do. Each page should have one purpose in your sales process, and you must make it clear to visitors what you want them to do.
Some pages will have valuable content and others will have articles where you share your high-level expertise or your take on industry news. All will increase a reader’s confidence in your company. The desired user action on these pages might be to have them sign up as an email subscriber, which is a big step in the conversion process.
Your business exists to serve, and you had better remember that.
You need your visitors more than they need you.
Make guests feel important with photos of previous customers. You could link to your YouTube channel of former clients’ stories.
Use case studies (with pictures) to show how you have helped other customers and be sure to include testimonials.
Every hero has personality, so include headshots and other photographs. You don’t need to bare it all, but bare enough that people can see you are a real person who has feelings and problems occasionally.
Mentioning your triumphs will help visitors see you as a hero, so don’t be shy about any awards you may have won or your membership of trade organizations. Include press mentions and any books that reference you and your work.
If you have published ebooks, then use their images to boost your credibility. If you have photos of you at industry events, either as a speaker or an attendee, then include them on your website.
Mobilize your website to deliver solutions to your visitors. They will love you for it, but ordinary content won’t work. Only the best will do, so discard regular and even high-level content and replace it with sky-level writing and photos that wow.
Every word and image on your website must solve users’ problems.
Leaders have always used gifts and bribes to persuade people to join their tribes, and if presidents can do it, so can you.
Offer incentives for people to sign up to receive your emails, but also offer free downloads and giveaways as rewards for visiting your page.
No site will appeal to everyone, but make sure yours appeals to individuals who fit the target profile.
The best websites do not resemble text-rich throwbacks from the 1990s; rather, web users have learned to expect pages to react to their actions. They expect pages to do things, not just ‘sit there.’ Plugins that personalize the web experience like OptinMonster and MaxButtons are the only way to convert browsers into buyers.
