An Introduction to Using Patterns in Web Design
The biggest challenge for web designers is the unthinkably huge number of possible ways to solve any given problem. We usually don't think of this because we have our habits and traditions to fall back on, but there are literally billions of possible pixel combinations for each page we make. There is a better way to manage this vast complexity than by making big decisions up front and hoping for the best. To make better sites — sites that are functional, beautiful, and "usable" — we have to break our design problems up into small independent chunks based on the real issues within our requirements. Christopher Alexander, who came up with this stuff, calls these chunks patterns. I'm going to show you how to sidestep your habits and assumptions and use patterns to make better design decisions.

Web Form Design Patterns: Sign-Up Forms, Part 2
Advertisement Last week we have presented first findings of our web forms survey1. The main objective of the survey was to provide designers and developers with some intuition of how effective web forms are designed; we also presented some guidelines of how an effective and user-friendly web form can be achieved. We have focused on sign-up forms as we wanted to consider further crucial forms (e.g. checkout forms) separately. Afterwards we’ve gone through each and every one sign-up form of the selected sites and analyzed the design approaches implemented in these forms. Below we present the second part of our findings — the results of our survey among web-forms of 100 popular web-sites where web-forms (should) matter.
Seven Strategies for Marketing in a Web 2.0 World
Cover Story Seven Strategies for Marketing in a Web 2.0 World By Darlene Fichter When you start to talk about marketing library products and services, the four P’s of marketing come to mind: product, pricing, promotion, and placement.

But in today’s world, marketing managers need to have Web 2.0 strategies and techniques as part of their library marketing plans. Traditional marketing is a controlled process where messages are developed, crafted, and delivered by a PR person.
12 Steps to Creating a Professional Web Design
Before we share some of the necessary steps used to create a professional web design and website, the following question must be addressed: What constitutes a "professional web design"? More often than not, a web designer or web design company claims to offer professional web design services for their clients. However, should they be promoting "web design services" rather than "professional web design services"?

The good news is, you don't need to hire a professional web design company or professional web designer if you want a professional web design and website.

Your comment reminds me of Phil Meyer's recollections in his book "The Vanishing Newspaper." He recalls a conversation with a Knight Ridder executive, Hal Jurgensmeyer, who says newspapers aren’t in the news business, or even in the information business. Newspapers, Jurgensmeyer said, are in the influence business. He goes on to quote Jurgensmeyer:“A newspaper produces two kinds of influence: societal influence, which is not for sale, and commercial influence, or influence on the consumer’s decision to buy, which is for sale. The beauty of this model is that it provides economic justification for excellence in journalism.”
