It's almost the end of the year, so we're starting to shift our focus on what's coming up in 2015. Based on some trends we saw from 2014, we can make a few educated decisions about what design trends we'll all be following in the coming year. If you have a website that needs a refresh or a redesign, you can be sure that many if not all of these elements will be present in your new web design.

Just for fun, we decided to go around and ask the team what they're thankful for this year. The answers we got are fantastic, and we all realize that we are pretty darn fortunate in many ways. Sure, maybe things aren't always awesome, but we have the things that truly matter: health, family, love and coffee. Not everyone is so lucky. 

So, let's take a moment to share what we're grateful for this Thanksgiving.

Adam: I'm thankful for good friends and family, a strong company and team, 2 chihuahuas and a cat named Carson, the coffee plant, my iPhone 6 plus, and most importantly, my amazing wife Gina. 

If you’re an agent, a contractor, a consultant, or even a small business owner, you’ve undoubtedly dipped a toe into online marketing and lead generation. As the Internet has evolved, so have its requirements for staying current and rising above the signal to noise ratio.
