Flash has made website design more interactive for the viewer, making it easier to view animations, videos, music, and other mediums. Flash helps viewer’s browsing experience more entertaining. Alternatively, viewers may also see it as an unnecessary distraction. Although using this Flash in websites have become more popular and common, making a full website in Flash can be difficult to be ranked high in search engines. So, depending on the type of content of your website, the use of Flash should really be used effectively and only when necessary. Outlined below are a set of advantages and disadvantages of using this tool for your website.

Selecting the right colour scheme for your website can be difficult. Ensuring the website is readable, cross-platform compatible, and aesthetically pleasing on screen, are factors that should be taken into consideration. However, you also want the website to have unique elements of design. In order to select the right colour scheme, you need to have a clear understanding of the colour wheel.
The colour wheel helps you mix and match colours in a harmonious fashion. It contains the three primary colours: red, blue and yellow, as well as the combination of how these three colours make up the secondary colours; green, purple and orange.

Being .NET developers, we have always had the problem of rewriting URL’s. Websites hosted on an Apache web server have no problem as you have the use of the .htaccess file, a file which has many uses, including the ability to rewrite URL’s.

If you are not sure what URL rewriting is to begin with, it is the process of changing a URL’s appearance, usually to shorter and cleaner URL. The reason for doing this usually comes back to the topic of Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO. URL’s that are shorter in length, are words rather then numbers, and are words that relate to the content of the page are not only going to benefit you massively through SEO, but the URL’s will be much easier for your users to remember and type in. There are many other uses and reasons to rewrite URL’s that people use however I won’t go into detail here.

Onpoint Creations are pleased to have worked with Primary Program Plus or otherwise known as PPPlus - a primary school teacher resource web site that offers a range of teacher courses for sale online. When Primary Programs Plus approached us their site was in major need of a facelift, and there were a number of other things that needed to be done to the site, so we got to work.

As we wanted to give the site a new fresh feel, we started from the ground up and implemented a number of features that makes the site not only look better, but is easier to use and navigate. We also performed extensive internet marketing techniques that is already bringing great results.

If you are a web designer or have ever tried to design a web site, you will no doubt come across the fact that one of a web designers biggest issues will be getting a web site consistent across all the major browsers. Many times I will visit a web site that works perfect in Internet Explorer, however when viewing it in another browser such as Firefox it does not work, or some parts are missing or there is some other issue. It happeneds the other way round too, with it working perfect in Safari on a Mac, but then on PC with with IE (Internet Explorer) there are problems. Onpoint Creations ensures that when we build a web site, it works across the major browsers, as everyone does not use the same browser.

A blog is a very simple, effective and powerful tool to have on your web site, no matter what your site may be about. If you asked me I would say that a blog should be mandatory for any company web site, as web 2.0 is here and a great way to embrace the technology is to start blogging.

If you often use flash content for your web sites, and have ever wondered about the best way to insert it, then the swfobject is it. The swfobject is a tiny javascript file that allows you to easily embed flash content onto your web page, with very little fuss and also has other great benefits. The code used is so much cleaner then the default Adobe flash embed script, and has benefits such as being HTML & XHTML compliant.

If you have never heard of or used a Server Side Include (SSI) before, then you must read this post, as a Server Side Include is one cool way to insert content into your web page. When you use a Server Side Include the server takes the entire content of one file and places it onto your page, where you specify it. A Server Side Include would be used for such things as a navigation menu on a site, where the navigation menu is re-used on many or every single page. By using a Server Side Include, when you go to update the menu, you only have to update one file instead of every page that has the menu, makes sense huh?
