Every year we see headlines declaring that it’s “The Year of Mobile!”  Seems like it’s been “The Year of Mobile” for a long time now, hasn’t it? Clearly, mobile isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s taking over in a very big way and it grows every year. Recently, we got a super handy little book called Mobile Fact Pack: A Guide to Mobile Marketing that was put together by the folks over at AdvertisingAge. It explores everything from mobile ad spending and social media marketing to mobile OS market-share info and consumer behavior trends.

This is the last edition of our three part series on the anatomy of a website!  By now you know what a sitemap and a wireframe are and you know all about the different kinds of navigation. Today we’re going to wrap it all up by going over a few of the other important elements of a website that you already know about, but maybe haven’t thought of in quite the way that we do.

After our discussion of sitemaps and wireframes from last week, we thought we should move on to talk about some of the more fun parts of a website’s anatomy and talk about navigation. Web users are very impatient, so navigation is incredibly important in helping them find what they’re looking for as quickly and easily as possible. It can actually make or break the success of your website, so it’s certainly a very big deal and something you should pay close attention to.

Still got your dissection kit from last week? 

Good!

You’re gonna need it!

Website navigation

In an effort to let you into our wild, wacky (but not too wacky), wonderful GLAD WORKS world, we’ve got a fun series for you!  Ready? 

It’s about the Anatomy of a Website. 

That’s right, GLAD WORKS friends! We’re gonna get elbow deep into the innards of a website. From the very bare bones and structures to some of the bigger parts, we’re going to explain it all. By the time you’re done reading this series, you’ll be able to dissect a website and identify all its parts and pieces. And when you come to us to design one for you, you’ll be able to talk about it like a pro.

Ok, guys. Show of hands: who here doesn’t get stressed out?

You didn’t raise your hand, did you?

Sometimes you don’t know you need something until somebody shows it to you and then you’re like “Oh that’s so cool! I need that!”

It’s that time of year, iPhone Life-ers. Valentine’s day approaches and with it, every man’s heart is all a-flutter.

With fear.

Terror.

Because anyone with any experience with the ladies knows that whatever you do, don’t screw up Valentine’s Day.

We’re in the dead of it now, iPhone Life-ers!  It’s winter and it’s colder than a polar bear’s nose out there!

I was walking to my car the other day, and my eyes literally iced over! I thought I might be blinded for life!  I’m wearing ski goggles all the time from now on.

Sadly, iPhone Life-ers, I did not get to go. This is totally my thing, too.  I love me some techie geek gadgets! But, I’m reduced to living vicariously through the Internet and I have to say that there are some really fun things coming our way! 

Here are a few of my favorites.
