Flash es indiscutible mente una excelente herramienta al momento de crear animaciones con motivo publicitario en la web aun mas si son interactivas a su vez tiene otras utilidades como la de poder crear juegos .


Pero al momento de hacer un sitio web nos topamos con una enorme barrera, que sin duda se pueden lograr muy buenos resultados, sin embargo estos no son funcionales.

6 Razones para no tener un sitio web en Flash.

*Las arañas con programas que se encargan de leer el contenido del sitio y dar resultados de búsqueda.

 Simplemente los navegadores no indexan correctamente los sitios en flash lo que provoca un bajo desempeño en compatibilidad con buscadores como lo son Google, Yahoo! y Ask.

5 tips to write more effective webcopy.

Lately i found my self reading about webcopy, and the diference between both printed media and digital media amazed me, and everything is based from the most obvious fact, Web copy is presented in a screen, this makes reading in a computer exhaustive for most users and they will read less or scan less?.


Yes!, people on the web do not read the content the scan the content to find what they are looking for, so this means that they don't read word by word like in printed media, so you can't write in a website or blog the same as you write in a magazine, or book.


So I will help you out with:


5 tips to write effective webcopy.


1. The page title.
This one is your first and more powerful weapon this will make the user neither look and read the first paragraph or make him take the next option he find on google and navigate away from your copy.


Always write a title that say what is the article or site about.

E-mail Marketing para Freelancers

Hay algo de platica en la Net. sobre el email marketing volviéndose algo viejo y pasado de moda debido a la popularidad de las redes sociales (llámese facebook, orkut, myspace, etc), yo estoy de acuerdo con el escritor y mercadologo Neil Tortorella quien dice estar en desacuerdo, en lo personal las redes sociales no me han dado resultado, aunque debo admitir que resultan una buena herramienta, hasta el momento me han dado resultado y espero que funcionen para mi en algún momento, de eso hablaremos después.

Web Design Trends for 2010


Make no mistake about it, you will recognize the ideas behind these trends. Although this list isn’t a drastic departure from what was popular in 2009, it marks different trends that will be expanded upon and made better as a result. As you think of how you will incorporate new trends into your designs, focus on the main idea of each trend. Be encouraged to dabble into these trends so that you become part of the movement.With a new year on the horizon, it’s time to pack away the old, worn web designs and prepare for the brave, new face of tomorrow. Although trends don’t start and stop on January 1st, there is a definite shift from what we craved at the beginning of the year to what we are seeking tutorials for at the end of the year. Most of the time, this shift is subtle. It’s a perfection or re-interpretation of a currently hot trend. Trends help us evolve as designers. As we master the skills of design aesthetic, we continue to push forward to what’s next or what needs to be fully discovered.

1. Oversized Logos/ Headers

Splash pages are so yesterday. To make an unforgettable impression on the visitor, the trend for 2010 will be oversized logos on an equally oversized header. These types of headers can take up the entire screen, but with one important note. Visitors will not need to click anything, just scroll down. Visitors often having a clicking phobia (due to years of poor navigation), so big headers do the job of a splash page without forcing your visitors to click anything.
Main Idea: Huge headers that make your visitors remember you.
