This evening we launched the redesigned site of Faraci & Faraci, P.A., a local law firm.
The firm's skills and experience enable it to render high quality services to a diverse roster of client organizations, both private and public sectors.
Lifehacker's Angus Kidman identified these five commonly repeated words in his writing after participating in NaNoWriMo. I know I'm guilty of at least two of these.
Using 109 post-it notes in 5 different colors, we put up a Christmas tree on the front door to our offices. If you consider each note as a pixel, then our door's resolution is 10x22 pixels.
Last Sunday (November 7th) we had the pleasure of attending and photographing Operation: Holiday, a fashion show from 2 Sisters and New Prospects.
View the gallery.
The charity event, which benefited the WINGS battered woman's shelter, was made possible by local businesses donating their services. The models were styled by Indira Salon, and wore apparel from 2 Sisters and New Prospects. Baked by Betsy, All on the Road Catering, and Wine Styles catered drink and food. Amphora hosted the event in their spacious store.
Always ready for the Holidays, we've got a fresh wallpaper pack in ten different resolutions for your desktop or iPhone.
Reminiscent of the ASCII art from my childhood, this wallpaper features the finest serif typefaces depicting a Christmas tree in a warm vintage color palette.

Too often have I seen clients agonize over 30 word ad copy while ignoring the importance of photos on their website. If a photo is worth a thousand words, then it's worthwhile to provide customers with great photos that tell your brand story.
Through the immediacy of photo-sharing sites, the inclusion of cameras in seemingly all consumer electronics, and the radical improvement in digital cameras in the last decade, there is a heavy burden placed on commercial photography. It is now expected that pack shots, location images, and staff portraits will be nearly perfect if not stunning. No longer can we get away with the photos our nephew took for his high school photo class, or the iPhone photos you took last January.
Consider that:
Product shots make your item tangible.
Pack shots improve product recognition on the store shelf.
Location shots give credibility and help customers find you.
Staff shots give your business a face.
Providing photos of yourself, your products or your business is a great way to tell the story of your business. Professional photos make your brand shine.
Traditionally, the problem with browser statistics is that the research data is based on developer-biased group of users. To avoid that problem, we used Google Analytics data from a chain of Chicago pizza restaurants as our basis for the average user. With 3,041 unique visitors looking for pizza during the month of September, Gulliver's data should provide a representative sample of Chicago's average user.
Other conclusions suggested by our data:
Dial-up is nearly non-existent.
1024x768 is the most common resolution by far, which is good news for the 960 grid system.
1 in 6 computers are Macs.
IE is anything but dead, with IE8 taking the largest individual market share.
Along with other local business (including our clients 2 Sisters and Amphora) we're sponsoring Operation Holiday, a fashion show charity event benefiting Wings.
The show will be held at Amphora on Sunday, November 7th starting at 1pm. We're proud to be involved.
