There is no shortage of tools on the web that will help you create video tutorials. Some of these applications are free while others can cost hundreds of dollars.
In this post, I thought I would discuss some of the advantages found in one of the more popular screen capturing applications, Camtasia by Techsmith. This is not free (currently listed at $299), however the cost may be justifiable once you realize the great results and the time you could save over using some other tools out there.
Content is one of the most valuable things you can focus on during development of your website. Consider each page of your website an opportunity to capture or lose your audience. If a web page has paragraph after paragraph of text, many visitors won’t bother to begin reading.
There are various other things to be leery of when writing for the web. This article covers eight tips to help you succeed when writing content for your website.
Hey everyone, I decided for my next post I would put out a little freebie template for you all to download. I always loved getting my hands on other designers PSDs and taking a look at how they structured their designs, layers, etc.
So feel free to download this template and use it for whatever you like! I included three versions of the same website but altered the color schemes slightly. Play around with some of the layers Hue/Saturation and see what you can come up with!
Planning in Web design, just as in any other design process, is essential. Not only does careful planning cut your development time considerably, but it makes it far easier to achieve a uniform look and feel for your website – making it friendlier and easier to use.
This section briefly covers some of the basics of website design: what to focus on, what options to consider, and what pitfalls to avoid. If you are an established Web site developer who has covered this ground before, feel free to skip this section.

Rounded corners are quite common these days across lots of websites. They are definitely appealing and help change it up from the normal square boxes a browser renders by default.
There are several techniques to create rounded corners (i.e. nest 4 divs and have a corner image aligned in each one), but my favorite by far is using the new CSS3 border radius property. Essentially, you can just use a few lines of CSS and create awesome looking rounded corners for an element on your webpage.
If you’re and experienced designer it’s likely that you have a knack for matching colors and building your own custom color schemes. However, for the majority (including myself) you can probably pick out a great color scheme, but would have a difficult time putting one together on your own.
The good news is that there are a bunch of extremely user friendly tools available to help you quickly and easily develop professional looking color schemes on the fly. The following are a list the most powerful resources I have come across.
One of the often overlooked but most important aspects of having a successful website is the choice of where to host the site. While hosting is not a glamorous or hip topic like CSS, the choices that you make will have a direct impact on how effective your site is in fulfilling its purpose.
There are many choices when it comes to hosting your site, but they can generally be grouped into four categories: simple, shared, dedicated, and advanced.
