"Web-based, fast, and useful..." "Blown away..." "A thoughtful UI..." "A beautiful piece of work..." "Big, chunky, bright, easy to use..." "Heavenly Invoicing..." 93@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Business 2005-07-26T14:05:22-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/business/say_hello_to_blinksale.html A Firewheel By Any Other Name http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/BLrSa7RgKYU/a_firewheel_by_any_other_name.html Amongst the blitz this week as we're preparing to roll out Blinksale, we also managed to squeeze out the new site design for Firewheel. It's better suited to our current needs, and should be quite a bit more manageable. It looks pretty decent too. 92@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Design 2005-07-14T10:51:29-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/design/a_firewheel_by_any_other_name.html Blinksale Blogging http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/0X0l9DwkIY8/blinksale_blogging.html 91@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Business 2005-07-11T20:54:38-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/business/blinksale_blogging.html Behind Blinksale http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/ynL9aAnnxY8/behind_blinksale.html A couple days ago we launched the teaser site for our new product Blinksale. We're billing it as the easiest way to send invoices online. It may very well be the fastest and the most fun as well. 90@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Business 2005-06-24T11:19:12-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/business/behind_blinksale.html Paying Off Design Debt http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/cIwAdlN_xWo/paying_off_design_debt.html Or, learning how to plan for the future when you design a website for today. This is especially true when you design for a living, and find time to work on your projects in short supply. 89@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Design 2005-06-20T15:50:17-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/design/paying_off_design_debt.html Patterns for the Naked http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/I8sffmwADc4/patterns_for_the_naked.html 88@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Design 2005-06-13T13:38:22-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/design/patterns_for_the_naked.html Moving On with Technology http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/SJhxooYW3aQ/moving_on_with_technology.html Or, how I learned that change is inevitable and you'd better learn to roll with it. The year is 2005, and somebody moved my cheese... and my software... and now my processor. 87@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Design 2005-06-07T11:35:18-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/design/moving_on_with_technology.html Confessions of a Pixel Perfectionist http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/1niltfiIjmw/confessions_of_a_pixel_perfectionist.html I get asked all the time what tools we use at Firewheel to design our icons. The range of software products is broad, but in the end, the core tools are not that different from what most designers use every day. Without further ado, here are the primary applications we use to make the pixels fall where they're supposed to. 86@http://www.yellowlane.com/ Icon Design 2005-06-03T09:30:00-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/icon_design/confessions_of_a_pixel_perfectionist.html Something's afoot... http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/j5um2-bfuLI/somethings_afoot.html She's a work in progress, but the re-design is coming along. There are some holes here and there, and the changes are rolling in quite often right now. If you refresh in 30 minutes, chances are the background image will have changed. Again. 79@http://www.yellowlane.com/ The Skinny 2005-06-02T13:58:42-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/the_skinny/somethings_afoot.html Changing Seasons http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/yellowlane/~3/LsZ5_B-2594/changing_seasons.html As usual, it has been far too long since an update has appeared here at Yellowlane, and as always, there are many reasons for this (some believable, some lame). 77@http://www.yellowlane.com/ The Skinny 2004-12-20T17:33:55-06:00 http://www.yellowlane.com/archives/the_skinny/changing_seasons.html
