10 Web Designers Who Have Become Celebrities Within Their Industry

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

Lots of professions have individuals who become so good at what they do and so well known that they become celebrities within their industry, and that certainly applies to web designers. When we use the word “celebrity” in relation to web designers, we are not suggesting that they are going to have the high profile of a celebrity chef like Gordon Ramsey or a celebrity dog trainer such as Steve Austin.

We have to be realistic and accept that a website being created will not attract TV audiences like a dog being trained to do tricks or a fantastic meal being prepared and cooked would. In that sense, we have to define web designer celebrities as being well-known and highly admired within the web design industry versus instantly recognized by the wider population.

However, that should not diminish what some of the celebrity web designers we highlight have achieved. Some have created entire web-building languages, others are pioneers in how websites should look, and some are years ahead when developing the latest website functionality. Beyond the ten web designers selected there are many more, so we are not suggesting that these are the “Top Ten”, but instead ten web designers we felt deserved recognition.

Håkon Wium Lie: Regarded as a web design pioneer and a campaigner for high web standards, he is responsible for the creation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which has transformed the appearance of websites.

Ethan Marcotte: Responsive websites are at the core of modern web design, and that is mainly due to Ethan Marcotte being one of the first to define the principles of responsive web design and educate other web designers on its implementation.

How To Ensure You Hire The Best Web Design Agency To Create Your Law Firm’s Website

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

Whether you have opened a new law firm and need a website, or your law firm at Commercial Lawyers Perth has a website that needs to be replaced, one of the key choices you have is who is going to design it. The website design professionals would certainly be a top choice but why is that so, and how do you ensure that whichever web design agency you choose is capable of creating a website you can be proud of?

If you read on we will outline 5 key elements that any web design agency must be able to prove, produce or perform. It is not enough that they might be able to do one or two of these,  because unless all 5 are in place, your website’s design is going to be compromised.

#1: Genuine Proof And Testimonials That They Can Design High Quality Websites

These should be relatively easy to find, and so a red flag needs to be raised if any web design agency you are considering does not have any, as this means they have no track record with which to evaluate their suitability. Professional web design agencies will not only have a portfolio of websites they have created for their clients, but they will also have reviews and testimonials from satisfied customers which confirm their credentials as professional website designers.

#2: Experienced Programmers And Coders Who Are Experts In Creating Websites

We use ‘design’ as an umbrella term for the entire creation of a website,  as well as the specific aspect of how it appears visually. Unfortunately, this means programmers and coders who are experts in creating a website’s many functions, often do not receive the credit they are due. However, they are an essential part of the team which builds a website, and only a web agency that employs individuals experienced and expert in website coding should be chosen.

Is It Worth Paying Someone To Build My WordPress Website?

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

Building a WordPress website is easy – if you know what you’re doing. However, you might run into trouble if you don’t have a lot of design or web development experience. You might choose to take some courses and learn the skills you need to build your own WordPress site, but a lot of people simply pay a developer to build their website for them.

But is it really worth it?

In this article I’ll run through a few of the pros and cons of hiring a professional web designer to build your new or updated responsive website for you. Ultimately, it’s something that will work for some people, but not for others – so you need to do your research.

Why should I consider paying a developer to build my website?

A few of the reasons why you should consider hiring a developer to build your WordPress website include:

  • Experienced developers will be able to build a website quickly, which will help you get online fast.
  • It will save you time. Ultimately, you might be better off spending your time doing things that you’re good at. Building your own website can take a lot of time and effort, which might result in lost income.
  • You’ll get the design that you want. It can be hard to design your own website, especially if you’re not a very creative person. Since web developers build websites for a living, they will be able to help you put together the exact site that you want.

Is It Worth Promoting My WordPress Site With Google Ads?

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

Building a high quality WordPress website that’s attractive and informational is sometimes the easy part of digital entrepreneurship. Unfortunately, the online space is becoming increasingly popular, which means that it’s harder to entice people to actually visit your website, especially if you don’t have a strong marketing background.

There are a number of different digital marketing trends and forms that you can use, and it’s worth considering all of them. Do your own research about SEO, SEM, SMM, PPC and other digital marketing techniques to decide which is right for you and your WordPress website. In this article, we’re going to be looking at a particular form of SEM/PPC marketing – Google Ads.

Is it worth spending money on Google Ads to promote your WordPress website?

What is Google Ads?

First, let’s take a quick look at Google Ads and how it works. Basically, if you search for something using the Google search engine, you’ll notice that the first and last few results are ‘ads’. This is the main way that Google Ads works, allowing you to advertise your site on the search engine results pages. In some cases, you can also advertise using banners and other ads embedded within websites, but this is becoming less popular.

Why Is WordPress The Best CMS For SEO?

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

If you’re building a new website then you need to think carefully about search engine optimisation (SEO). Different websites perform differently on the SEO front, but WordPress is up there with the best.

However, you shouldn’t take my word for it. I’ve done some research and put together a quick list including a few of the many reasons why WordPress is the best CMS for SEO purposes. They include:

WordPress is super versatile:

WordPress is arguably the most versatile content management system on the web. It powers over 30% of the world’s websites – and there’s a reason for this.

Since WordPress is fully open source, you can access your code, edit, and add pretty much anything you want to your site. This is extremely useful when it comes to SEO as well.

If you really want to rank well for highly competitive keywords, you will need to make sure that your website’s code is optimized. Things like page load speeds, responsiveness, and performance under load are very important, and WordPress lets you tweak things to optimize all of these.

Web Design: 53 CSS Tricks In One Place

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

A nice little round-up of 53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn’t Live Without, over at 9tricks. These represent the leading edge in everything CSS is capable of lately. It’s surprising that we don’t have more of it deployed.

A few observations on the list:
CSS

  • We’ve seen 1001 rounded corners tutorials, but none of them will compare with the one-line ‘border-radius’ feature… when all web browsers support them.
  • Wrapping text around an image – every hack for this we’ve seen deployed so far works in two browsers and breaks in all the others.
  • The dynamic piechart looks like one of those painfully-obvious image-sprite hacks, but you have to admit you never thought of it until you saw it.
  • The adaptive layout technique – this is the next feature we’re going to be crying for better solutions for, in HTML6 and CSS4. The massive array of screen widths we now have to deal with, from pocket-mobile devices to ridiculous monitors the size of a swimming pool, is a mark that it’s high time the device took care of more of this for us.

Free (or Cheap) Graphic Design Tools

Posted on by Sublime Web Design

Colour us “jumping to conclusions”, but we’d have to guess that Photoshop is the best-known graphic design tool out there. but it’s not an optimal solution for everybody – the price tag is high, it has a steep learning curve such that you could spend years studying it and not know all of it, and it’s also aimed more for print graphics than web graphics.

For those of you looking for a more compact and economical solution, here’s a list of tools you might want to look into. These are all less costly (all but one is free!) to download and use, and are geared more towards smaller solution sets as well.

  • GimpShop – As the name suggests, this is the version of the open source G.I.M.P. program geared to Photoshop users. G.I.M.P. stands for “GNU Image Manipulation Program”, after the GNU.org general public license. It’s about 90% feature-compatible with Photoshop, and is a much smaller, cheaper, and easier-to-learn program.
  • Paint.NET – This is the free graphics program using Microsoft’s .NET 2.0 framework. It’s come a long way since its origins as a better alternative to Windows’ Paint program (the one that comes with all copies of Windows). Now it’s a nice half-step between a Paint-level application and a Photoshop. Just right for slapping together a quick design.
