BroadPoint's expanded listings. Are Google's expanded search links more efficient in navigating users to the information they want than the home pages they conceal? Jason Fried seems to think so. Whether you agree or not, Fried's article from 37signals begs the question: Should we implement a renewed focus on site usability? Perhaps—since the longevity of your website may depend on it.Google Expanded Listings vs. Home Page

Every website needs an Email Marketing Campaign
With frequent email campaigns, you can keep your business top-of-mind with subscribers and let them know when there's something new with your business or organization.
We’re “springing” two new sites for PMA
There's still a little bit of spring left, right? (First official day of summer is June 21st.) We recently completed two new micro-sites for the Produce Marketing Association (PMA), which highlight two of PMA's biggest events of the year: Fresh Summit and Foodservice.
PMA needed the sites to feature important information, as well as generate excitement, for attendees and exhibitors. Visitors can now countdown the days in style, as each site has its own unique look. Take a look for yourself!
A Tip to Improve Tech Support Between Client and Designer
If you’re having your website re-designed, chances are that you and your web designer/developer will run into some issues with how the site displays across different web browsers. With so many different browsers out there and so many different computers with different versions of operating systems, developing a website that looks exactly the same on all browsers is a daunting task and requires a good bit of testing.
