“Yahoo?! Don’t get me started on Yahoo” Whit says with a roll of his eyes. We’re discussing hosting providers again, and this one’s obviously wronged him in the past. I comment that Yahoo’s page always looks kind of crappy too, and Whit agrees, noting that it’s probably a result of their addiction to adding features. “When you keep adding features like that, you’re likely to become spread too thin” he says, and I concur. We both nod grimly at this major company’s crappiness. On to the next one. Go Daddy meets with similar dismissal, but with a saving grace. In Whit’s words, “They’re a great domain registrar. I use them myself.…Read more »

Having a strong background in print design has served to ease my transition into the so-called “real world,” while it has also presented various hurdles I’ve been learning (and plan to keep on learning) to overcome. At first, I was very hesitant and stubborn to even think about straying away from the wonderful world of print. Then I started working for Mightybytes (one of the internet’s best friends), and I was quickly convinced otherwise. I soon learned that I could apply standard typographical rules to the work we do at Mightybytes on the web, and get satisfying, beautiful design work not only in print design, but on the internet too! Applying…Read more »

My love of Final Cut runs deep. In school, when there was a choice between focusing on Avid and Final Cut, it was a no-brainer for me. I’m a Mac guy, for one thing, and Final Cut is sooooo Macintosh. It also just felt right, and I found the vast majority of the program to be powerful and intuitive. There was only one stage of the Final Cut process that I found disturbingly complicated: the insane amount of options offered to you when you’re trying to export. You just finished your project, and you’re excited as all get-out to show some folks. You planned ahead, and know exactly what format…Read more »

Defining hosting options is something that’s important to do as early on in the production process as possible, should they be relevant for your project. When searching for a provider to host your content, look for someone who offers a variety of easy-to-use services and is eager to become your ally when developing Web projects. Sure, cost-effectiveness is important, but available tech support and a wide array of easy-to-configure utilities and server enhancements go a long way in making your job as a developer much easier. A difficult or unresponsive hosting provider can be one of the quickest ways to ruin a relationship between you and your client.…Read more »
