People are always saying that they’re not creative.

But we say everyone is creative; it’s just a matter of how that creativity expresses itself. Maybe you’re amazing at throwing a recipe together out of a bunch of random things from the pantry, or maybe you can find a fast way to get just about anywhere, or maybe you’re a genius at solving math equations.

There are a bazillion ways to be creative!


	
		
		

We talk a lot on our blog about what we do, but we realized that we never talk about how we do what we do.  So today, and maybe every so often from now on, we’ll give you a glimpse of what it’s like behind the scenes here at GLAD WORKS during the “doing” phases of your projects. 

First, let’s talk about what happens when we design a website. It seems magical, doesn’t it? You come in here, you tell us what you want, and POOF!  There’s a website.

“Whoa! That was AWESOME!” you say.  “You guys are mmmmmaagical!”

Every once in a while I find FaceTime, Apple’s most excellent video call feature, to be very helpful. There are occasions when I just can’t get in the same room with a client, and FaceTime is a great alternative to just a phone call.


	
		

 

You hear it all the time, all over the place: SEO this and SEO that and you have to have good SEO! But what the heck does that even mean?  And what does it mean to be “spiderable?” 

Are we talking about websites or Arachnophobia here?


	
		

 

No, we haven’t lost our minds.

Serifs and Zapf Dingbats are real and they have feelings! Today, GLAD WORKS friends, we’re talking about typography, or the art or process of setting and arranging type. Typography also refers to the style and appearance of type.


	
		
		

 

Not that any of you GLAD WORKS friends would ever wear a Snuggie, but you know. It made you smile to read that because we’ve all considered it, no matter how briefly…

Well.

How about the Holiday Feeding Frenzy, huh?

I’ve managed to pack away enough holiday food to keep me at the gym for months, just sweating little droplets of fruitcake and chocolate truffles. I think I speak for most of us when I say it’s time to Stop The Insanity!
