Check-In Before You Plug-In

Let’s suppose you’ve recently completed a website redesign. Aside from the fresh facelift given to your website, your redesign may have also included a Content Management System (CMS), which allows you to take charge of updating your content. Using a CMS rather than a web design professional makes economic sense, and affords you some control without having to learn how to code. Often times though, a basic CMS may lack a bit of functionality that you believe would be beneficial. Thankfully, someone else has likely … Continue reading →

DBS V5.0 is now live!

Posted on:

websitev5.0

DBS>Interactive has seen and experienced a lot of change throughout our 10 years as an interactive agency. So much so, that it’s sometimes funny to think about how things used to be. We were building websites when a dial tone was required to access the Internet. We were building websites when Yahoo was the #1 search engine. We were even building websites when floppy discs were the industry standard. Throughout all the change in the industry, however, our core values have never altered. We still … Continue reading →

Education. There’s an App for That…

Posted on:

Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at The Kentucky Association for Psychology in the Schools (KAPS) on the topic of integrating technology and education into a program that aids in student learning.

Building Strong Client Relationships

Posted on:

“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.” – Richard Buckminster Fuller As a client services professional, I am continuously gaining new insight on the importance of maintaining strong and trusting relationships with my clients. Like most people in the field of customer service, I encounter different personalities and circumstances on a daily basis. What I have discovered over the years is that regardless of the industry, people are highly receptive to how they are treated and will respond accordingly. Therefore, it is imperative that a … Continue reading →

Google+ from a Designer’s POV

Posted on:

For the past two weeks, our marketing department has combed through Google’s new social network, Google+ and provided their expertise and opinion on the various features. Overall, our marketing department is overwhelmingly positive in their opinion of Google+ and believes that it is a promising alternative to social media giant, Facebook. While I also agree with them, as a designer, I tend to see things from the perspective of a designer. Improper spacing, padding, and kerning of letters is more of a pet peeve to … Continue reading →

Common Sense Guide to Online Reputation Management

Posted on:

We live in an era where anyone can produce and share content that everyone can see online. Although it likely won’t exist for all eternity, much of this content will stay published for a long time and can’t be undone. More and more people are using social media to share their experiences with others, whether good or bad, and these shared reflections can make a lasting impression on your reputation. A negative online reputation can have detrimental effects. Think of how a potential client, customer, … Continue reading →
