Congratulations to Urban Boatbuilders for winning 3 out of 5 Overnight Website Challenge awards including Best in Show!

We all worked very well together and are very […]
It’s that time of year again; time for the Overnight Website Challenge. That’s where we stay up all night to build an awesome website for a non-profit. This will be my second year participating.

An easy way to fix this is to add in an auto correct rule in your OS or text expansion application to change the incorrect spelling the correct […]
Facebook and mobile don’t go hand in hand when it comes to creating page tab applications. Facebook actually doesn’t show app tabs on mobile at all.
