jQuery & CSS 3: The Flash Killers
 |
Yes. You heard me. As a website developer, I loathe Flash. Not because it doesn’t look good, but because it stands for everything I’m not. First off:You can’t develop it in Notepad, i.e. it’s proprietary. That means you have to have a compiler (Adobe Flash or the equivalent). To me, the web is all about the free exchange of ideas, including the development of such websites. If a 12-year-old boy wants to make his own website, he should be able to do [...] |
Custom Digital Illustration

As a St. Louis based design company we like to take care of our local businesses. In addition to web design, one of the many services we offer is Digital Illustration. Having been in the illustration field for over 20 years, I can personally attest to the impact of this dynamic method of visual marketing.

SMS | The Dangers of Business Texting
|
For those of us that were classically trained in communication, we carry that wherever we go; and it shows.

ZGRets | A PHRETS Develpment
|
Since I began web design in 2004, I’ve always been curious as to the integration of massive online databases, such as auto dealerships and realtors. My curiosity finally led me back that direction and I’m happy to say, ZGRets was born. Sure, building a PHP RETS connection by myself would have been suicide, and far too complex for the time line I had to complete my project, so I found PHRets – an open source PHP solution to interacting with an RETS server. The cat[...] |
Happy Easter: Resurrection Day
|
Once a year, millions around the world set aside one Sunday to reflect on and celebrate the world-altering event that took place almost two thousand years ago – the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although the name Easter itself reflects on the Old English – Ēastre – a month (now named April) of the Germanic calendar named after the goddess Ēostre (goddess of the dawn) of Anglo-Saxon paganism, it was adapted to mark the end of Lent, a Catholic tradition marking t[...] |
FireFox 4.0! The Future Has Arrived
|
I just wanted to quickly tell everyone how excited I am about FireFox 4.0. It’s the latest and greatest in Mozilla’s line of earth-changing products. Faster then 3.X and extremely powerful, complete with CSS 3.0 and HTML 5.0, the future has arrived – and that means it’s time for everyone to upgrade. Unlike Microsoft, who released IE9 with so many bugs I’ve stopped trying to help clients with display and functionality issues – if they call or ema[...] |
