    Recently I was perusing the WordPress support forums in hopes to use some of my newly gained knowledge to help others that are learning just like me. I came across a thread that made me laugh a little bit. It was a practice I’ve never really seen and I think should be avoided; at least…

  • Wireframes and mockups

    What are wireframes? Simple. Wireframes are a bunch of boxes, circles and lines that when combined together create a skeleton of what will eventually be a finished product. Call it the chicken wire to a sculptor, the rough sketch to painter or even the Lego instructions of the X-Wing. But why? Why not? As a…
