Technological developments and social behaviours continue to drive constant evolution of web design trends, so what’s in store for 2013?
2012 saw some exciting developments: Mobile browsing contributes to over 10% of online traffic (ref: NetMarketShare) consolidating the need for Responsive Design, which tailors the user’s web experience depending on the device they are using. Footers are fatter, and it’s OK to scroll.
Long pages are en vogue and easy to read on mobile devices. The old adage “a picture paints a thousand words” is never going to burn out, and infographics have enjoyed a starring role. HTML5 and CSS3 have caused a buzz with interactive web pages and responsive frameworks.
So what’s next? The fundamental truth of a website never changes … its purpose is to deliver opportunities and drive sales, so here’s our take on what will be important in the coming year. Read More

ToolsOn Developed and Published Some New Free Web Services for GIF-Animation Creation
The www.toolson.net website is a new free service, which enables you to create GIF animations, make animated avatars from web camera shots, resize GIFs, convert any RAW image and create an ICO icon or favicon for your webpage in a few seconds.
There are many resources which can help you to create an animated image or an icon online. However, not every website combines several different applications. Many websites also require registration and thus extra time and not all of these sites are free. In this respect, toolson.net combines some major advantages: you can select and use several different applications for free and you do not need to register. Read More

You may have a wonderful (perhaps even fairly new) website, but is it as up to date as it can be?
Many web developers have their tried and tested ways of building a website. They’ll open up Photoshop, or similar, create a 960 pixel-wide canvas and throw everything at it, until they and their customer are happy with the look. This then gets cut up and a template or HTML site is created and checked in the latest versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and so on.
So, how about mobile? Do you know what your website looks like on an iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Mobile? Read More
