  • Oops Marketing

    Oops Marketing

    01.27.10

    There seems to be another scammy trend brewing in email marketing. Recently I've been receiving email promotions from brands with subject lines apologizing for a mistake or retracting a misstatement. I like to forgive and forget as much as the next guy, but when the apology requested is nothing more than a trick to get me to open an email, I'm opting out.

    What’s your web grade?

    01.05.10

    Just before the holiday we received my oldest son’s current school progress report. (Thankfully he is a good student and always does well.) This reminded me of a useful tool I’ve found to help measure websites with regard to best practices for search engine optimization (SEO) and web marketing. The tool is the Website Grader.

    I want my “open” Web TV

    12.14.09

    Here we are in 2010, and you can plug your ethernet cable or wi-fi into your TV. Presto, you’re on the Web—sort of. I don’t claim to be an expert on the television/Internet space, but I can assure you that something’s very wrong with this picture.

    Cyber Monday Everyday

    12.02.09

    Black Friday & Cyber Monday may have come and gone but the spending season has just begun and if you have an iPhone, as nightmarish as it may seem, every minute of every day can be Cyber WhateverDay.

  • social_blog_thumb

    Social Brand Continuity

    11.18.09

    If your social-media voice is monitored by a specifically designated department or by an outside agency, it’s easier to stay in control and keep your brand’s message inline. Your social-media captains should plan how they will uphold your brand’s promise in their conversations with customers, employees, and partners.

  • blog_move_thumb

    Movin' on up

    11.12.09

    We may have only moved up one floor but a lot has changed. We tried to document as much of the design and construction process as we could and created a video to share with you.

  • blog_cloud_thumb

    A dark cloud on the horizon

    10.27.09

    The relentless commercials for remote backup almost had me convinced to retire my arcane system of external USB drives and cases of DVDs on my bookshelf. Then a couple of weeks ago that little bit of doubt I was feeling became a reality for users of the T-Mobile Sidekick when a server failure at Microsoft’s Danger division left them holding a dataless hunk of plastic.

  • strategy_thumb

    Strategy Is King

    10.16.09

    In a previous post, I talked about trimming the fat from content. But let's face it: trimming the fat assumes you had good meat to start with. In a world where people have precious little time, if you're thinking site redesign, content strategy has to be a main priority.

  • book_thumb

    By the book

    10.07.09

    I recently gave a lecture to the advanced web design class at Farmingdale College. When I met up with professor Jack Harris, he informed me that the kids, mostly juniors and seniors, saw Loewy Design's page in the Flash/Dreamweaver Genius Guide, and they were looking forward to meeting with me. A bit embarrassed and very flattered, I asked Jack what book was he talking about and where could I get one.
