Hi,
I am just going to be doing a little self promotion in this blog post … it happens once in a while!
Teaching Web Design and Programming Made Simple:
For teachers who are going to be teaching web design, I just released a new video training system designed to help educators teach HTML, CSS, PHP, MYSQL, JavaScript and other basic web design subjects:
I get a lot of small business owners asking questions (so many that I’ve lost count ….) on building a website for their business. Let me start with three major tips:
There is much more to consider, but if you at least follow the above tips, you will avoid a lot of problems.
The Web Design for Small Business Package, for small business owners:
Because of all the request, we put together a consultation and training package to help small business owners get their websites up and running quickly and for as little money as possible. So that do you get with this package:
1. Direct conversation/consultation (phone or email) with Stefan Mischook regarding anything you like related to building your website or online presence.
Stefan is a well known expert in the field and even JUST a 5-10 minute conversation with him could save you tens of thousands of dollars! Why waste your time feeling around in the dark, when you can get answers quickly?
2. Over 36hrs of training videos.

In a nutshell: If you are looking to build a website and you don’t know where to start OR you don’t want to get overcharged or finally, you don’t want to overbuild … feel free to contact me:

Hi!
Let me start with the point of this article:
The ‘design’ in web design is far less important today, than it was just a few years ago. In fact, the aesthetic aspects in building a website (making it LOOK good) is just a small part of the process of building a website.
This will probably shock your pants off: you can become a crazy talented and successful web designer these days, with little in the way of design skills!

Hi,
I wanted to announce that our web design video library has just recently been moved to its’ very own website.
Besides the new location, the library has been redesigned to make it easier to navigate and find the videos you are looking for.
Hi,
So in the fine Microsoft tradition, they saw a successful technology … and copied it.
With Silverlight, they copied the once successful and now nearly dead Flash. In Microsoft’s own words, this is Silverlight:
The word-wrap property is supported by all major browsers – and IE. There may not be a huge need for this feature in the English language, there aren’t too many overly long words, but then, it also depends on the size of the container.
Text Shadow is another fun little CSS3 feature that makes things so much easier – for most of us, anyway. There’s bad news for IE users: Text shadow feature is NOT supported by any version of Internet Explorer at this time.
Adding on the the last tutorial about 2D Transforms: Adding a third value to our specifications, we can create a 3D effect. Unfortunately, this is not yet supported in all browsers.
Transform is yet another cool, new toy for our webdesign toy chest. Gone are the days of having to use a graphics editor to create certain effects. Now we can turn, spin, stretch, scale, and move things around with the CSS ‘transform’ property alone.
This is a fun little feature, just as long as you are Not trying to view it with Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, IE does not support the CSS3 transition property (yet?). I know, I was shocked, too… The other main browsers support it, but Firefox 4, Chrome, and Safari require a pre-fix:
