Case Study:
The client came to us to re-design their old non-performing site that had an outdated design and wasn't making sense with the latest trends or helping users to access information with ease. In our opinion, the website of a business should help the business perform better, faster and make more profit.

We designed the site to give it a new fresh look, make it XHTML compliant and giving users faster access to information and resources on the website. At last we were able to make a website that made the users happy, increased business specially the Catering section & increased the social circle on Facebook with rapid increase in Facebook Likes.

Please provide your thoughts in comments, specially web development professionals.

Quick Tip: Using Transparent PNGs For a Number of Effects

Hi.
Recently I am working on my new project for a client and the design required using a semi-transparent background for the drop down menus, from which you can see through the objects behind it. :) Since CSS prior to CSS3 doesn't offer a background color with opacity and there might be solutions which can get complex. A simple solution is to use a semi-transparent PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image as a background and set background properties like repeat and position as you need and you have a great looking drop-down menu background which is semi-transparent or with the opacity you have set.

you can either use Adobe Fireworks or Photoshop to create a PNG with opacity. I'll be postign tutorials but not sure of the timeline right now as projects have caught me up. The link to the semi-transparent drop down menu is  http://samnelson.biz/inland/
