My favorite web application to come out of Silverscape is our content management system, Common Goal Web Manager. I am somewhat biased in my preference for it since I played a major role in the development of our current version and its always a pleasure knowing that many clients are using something I wrote lots of code for to update their web sites every day.

The traditional Frequently Asked Questions page just doesn't do it for me. Let's reconsider why these pages exist, how they tie into an overall web presence, how they can be more useful to site visitors and what type of return these pages can offer the companies that build them (build them well, that is).

It’s my time to blog and I couldn’t resist a stab at the recent Snickers ad campaigns – or so I thought. Every time I see one of the outdoor ads I cringe at the thought that a viable agency actually put these out as creative (TV ads aside – I will admit that the Patrick Chewing commercial is pretty funny.)

In early 2010 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) plans to expand the generic top-level domains (gTLDs) or everything after dot in a website’s URL. At the moment generic top-level domains range from “.com”, “.org”, “.edu”, “.biz”, etc… to country-specific such as “.us”, “.uk”, “.jp” and so on.

One of the things that I love most about being a designer is that I’m constantly learning – both inside and outside of my own industry. At Silverscape, we’re lucky enough to have a broad client base and it’s allowed me to get knee-deep in the science behind fire-retardant performance garments, what separates artisan chocolate from your run-of-the-mill Hershey Bar, the technology that propels secure data protection and control, and even the details of safety and environmental compliance within the construction industry. Getting to really know a client once they’ve come on board is an exciting process, but beginning an engagement with a client whose services are already close to your heart is even more rewarding.

The web is becoming bendable and mashable. Some of the most popular social sites on the web are opening up letting developers consume all sorts of data and information. It’s the very same information that makes those sites wildly successful.

Some people love good food, others love custom cars, comfy clothes or their morning coffee. Some people love video games, and some really love beer. Football season, naps on a Sunday afternoon, sewing, coffee, great chocolate and the new iphone – all things that people love.

I’m nervous. I’ve been asked by the Society of Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) to give their July webinar. I’m speaking about business development at the C-suite level and measure the results.

Two or three years ago, Flash was our go-to technology whenever we needed to achieve really cool or advanced interactivity. More recently, we've really taken a liking to using Ajax to accomplish many of the same tasks.

If your firm is considering adding social media components to your existing marketing mix or you’ve begun to dabble with social media, you may be wondering what’s next and how to measure the results of your efforts.

Each year the Silverscape team is lucky enough to have a fancy night out at the New England Direct Marketing Awards (NEDMA). While the glitz, gold and open bar are great, the awards represent a little something more then pretty pieces of plastic to this studio coordinator.
