Flash CS4 New Features

Posted on the July 21st, 2009 under Web Tools by Raleigh NC Web

The New Flash CS4 contains one of the best features that Flash has developed in years – the Flash CS4 3D tool.   The need for actionscript when developing skewed and 3D images with motion tweening cease to exist with this new 3d tool.  It’s a great direction for Adobe especially considering the fact that 99% of their development efforts require the end-user to know advanced forms of javascript and actionscript.  Everyone in the web industry has been waiting for Flash to begin implementing tools that allow ease-of-use.  This may be a step in a great direction for Adobe and one of the pinnacles in their development of Flash since their acquisition of Macromedia in 2005.

Cheap web hosting lives up to its name

Posted on the July 20th, 2009 under Web Hosting by Raleigh NC Web

When searching for a web hosting company it is extremely important to remember that cheap web hosting is just that, “cheap”.  Cheap web hosting companies are notorious for selling inexpensive hosting accounts that are greatly unsupported.  Buying cheap web hosting can be a horrible experience because you may only understand why it is cheap when it’s too late.  Some of the key problems that are common with cheap web hosting environments are 1) lack of redundancy (or backup programs), 2) DNS failures, 3) inconsistent email connection issues, 4) non-compliant or browser unsupported Secure Socket Layers.  A good web hosting company will have a variety of hosting environments in order to suit the needs of your company.  They will be staffed with trained professionals to help answer your questions, provide technical advice, support transitioning your website from one environment to another, make proper DNS changes, and ultimately provide the type of quality and service that your company deserves.  So make sure when choosing a web hosting environment you realize the differences in service because if you’re not careful “cheap hosting” may be exactly what you receive.

Posted on the July 7th, 2009 under Web Design by Raleigh NC Web

1) Unique Images
Add unique, stylistic images to your website.  It’s important to saturate your website with content but it’s equally important to illustrate powerful imagery within your site.  Give your audience the ability to enjoy not only reading your information but also viewing aesthetically pleasing illustrations and photographs.

2) Search Engine Friendly (Professional) Content
Make sure that your content is Search Engine Friendly.  Add alt tags to your images and create content that is pertinent to the keywords in which you would like your site to be ranked.

3) Keep Your Site Fresh
There  is nothing worse than visiting a website where the content is out-of-date.  Make sure that your company constantly updates their content so that you remain within the cutting-edge of your industry.
