Down with the hamburger!

No, not the hamburgers we eat. I'm talking about that over-used little icon that you see on a lot of mobile sites.

I came across an article on Tech Crunch a while ago, titled "Kill the Hamburger Button Before it Kills You" by Anthony Rose. Anthony argued that the Hamburger Button was lowering site traffic.

The importance of a Future Friendly web experience

I've been hearing industry leaders push and push for "Future Friendly" websites and I absolutely believe they are right. That being said, I live in my own little world enough that I sometimes don't have a pulse on what other people are doing in "real life". I finally witnessed with my own eyes the logic behind the admonition of building "Future Friendly" websites.

Utah Tech Week

Yesterday I went to first Utah Tech Week showcase, located at The Depot. It was a wonderful event where various CEOs of big tech companies like DOMO, Qualtrics, and Overstock.com came and spoke about startup tips and what they are doing in their business. For example, Qualtrics CEO Ryan Smith came and talked about how his company is practicing "radical transparency". Everyone knows everyone else's schedule, sales, and job performances.

Launched Utah Small Business Development Center new website!

We've recently launched a new website for Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC).  We worked closely with them to revamp their website strategy to give the state-wide network a more cohesive feel, optimize it for all devices, and add eCommece functionality to allow for easy training registrations.  Their goal is to increase their reach to small businesses around the state and give them access to the business service most businesses need.  Good luck!

Drupal Watchdog

My latest article now available!

I've become a regular author in the trade magazine Drupal Watchdog. My 4th article in a series of articles was published this month. I've been writing about a command line tool that we use on a daily basis named Drush. This tool allows a developer to perform many types of tasks that would otherwise have to be done "the hard way".

There are a handful of the previous issues laying around the office. We're happy to give you one if you're interested!
