		<description><![CDATA[For decades, printed marketing materials have served as both the backbone and the workhorse for marketing communications efforts. From brochures and one-sheets to white papers, client advisories and more, printed materials have led the way in conveying a company’s image and marketing messages to prospects and customers. Then along came the Internet and social media, which turned the whole marketing communications world upside down. These days, online marketing materials represent the easier and more cost-effective way of communicating for most businesses. But if you think printed materials will disappear any time soon, think again.

		<description><![CDATA[A business with a full sales pipeline is generally a healthy business – unless all those leads get squandered due to mismanagement and/or poor organization. Using a customer relationship management (CRM) software program to properly organize web leads offers many advantages. It allows you to easily segment leads into specific categories so that they automatically get assigned to the right person for follow-up. It enables you to rate and score the leads, based on preset criteria, to determine the appropriate response. It prevents leads from getting lost or falling through the cracks. Most important, organizing... <a href="http://www.bopdesign.com/bop-blog/2013/05/organizing-web-leads-in-a-crm/">Read More</a> &#9658;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A user’s experience on a desktop or laptop computer is dramatically different than with an iPhone, iPad or other touchscreen device. For one thing, instead of a mouse, you’re using your finger. Plenty of other design changes for the increased use of tablets are likely in the works as well. Web designers should anticipate that in the not-too-distant future, websites may only (or primarily) work with touch swipes, taps and gestures. How does this affect navigation and other elements of web design? Top navigation seen on most websites is tricky to duplicate on a touchscreen... <a href="http://www.bopdesign.com/bop-blog/2013/05/universal-touch-navigation-is-coming/">Read More</a> &#9658;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are several factors when building or re-building a website to consider. The first thing to think about is what type of website you have or are going to have. Is it going to be informational only or for selling purposes – direct and indirect, and/or will it have a demo or trial of your product or services? Even though all websites differ in style, content and offerings, there are a few standard elements that all home pages need to have to be effective.

		<description><![CDATA[At some point in your career you may find yourself in need of hiring a designer or being asked your opinion on samples of work during research. Before you even start your research, you should have a very basic idea of what you are looking for and what you are trying to accomplish. You do not want to have a crystal clear “vision” in your mind because you will never find someone to fit those exact requirements and you will lose out on the possibility of an end product that exceeds those initial ideas.

		<description><![CDATA[So you’re looking to build a website for your business, or maybe redesign your current one.  Should you go with a solo freelance designer? Or are you better served taking the agency route? It may seem simpler, more efficient, and in some cases more cost-effective, to go with a solo designer. But the reality is that you gain a number of advantages when taking the agency/team approach – especially when building a large or complex website with a lot of bells and whistles.

Unsolicited and unwanted advertising continues to clutter cyberspace. It irritates all who receive it. And in worst-case scenarios, spam can even disable a website or email address if the volume is too heavy. Worse, today’s spammers have grown infinitely more sophisticated than their predecessors.
