There’s a really great favicon generator out there that will take your icon and turn it into every file size and type you need for a full range of icons for mobile devices, desktops, and even a Windows tile. Prepare your artwork at least 260px square…
It’s kind of painful to look at that title. But today, a new client of ours forwarded a comment made by his current web developer: [your site is] manually coded using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and JQuery in order to provide the greatest possible visibilit…
