Recently I scoured the web to come up with some website resources that could be useful for small business owners. While I’ve personally written on a lot of these topics in the past, it’s good to get a third-party point of view. As typically happens, I found others had already come up with great lists.

For those who may not know, vector images can be scaled infinitely, without losing quality, whereas a normal bitmap image will lose quality as it is scaled up, and even just saving the file repeatedly can lessen the quality.
If you’re only checking your website in the web browser you use, others may not be seeing the site how you intend them to. After all, chances are pretty low that everyone looking at your site is using the same browser you are. Here at T&S Web Design, we test on several browsers on Macs…

Everyone should be open to new, innovative ideas for their business card design: just because you have one, doesn’t mean it’s working! I can’t stress the vitality of a memorable design and one that will leave a lasting impression. Your business card is not only an essential business tool, but it can also be used…
Can you tell I’m a little stuck on logos lately? Our job here at T&S is to help businesses put their best foot forward on the web. Unfortunately, bad logos tend to work against us in that regard. We have to come up with creative ways to use logos we’re not fond of in a…
