A Brief History: The history of elevators dates back thousands of years, with early civilizations employing rudimentary systems of ropes and pulleys to lift heavy loads. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that elevators truly began to evolve into the sophisticated machines we recognize today. The invention of the safety elevator by Elisha Otis in 1852 paved the way for the vertical expansion of cities and the construction of skyscrapers.
Evolution of Design: Over the years, elevator design has undergone remarkable transformations, driven by advances in technology, safety standards, and architectural trends. From hydraulic systems to traction elevators, engineers have continuously pushed the boundaries of innovation to make elevators faster, safer, and more efficient. Today, cutting-edge features such as destination control systems, regenerative drives, and cloud-connected monitoring have redefined the elevator experience, offering unparalleled convenience and comfort to passengers.
Sustainable Solutions: In an era marked by growing environmental concerns, the elevator industry is embracing sustainable solutions to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Innovations like energy-efficient motors, LED lighting, and regenerative braking systems are becoming standard features in modern elevator designs, helping buildings achieve green certifications and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Accessibility and Inclusivity: Accessibility is a key consideration in elevator design, ensuring that people of all ages and abilities can navigate public spaces with ease and dignity. From tactile buttons and auditory announcements to spacious interiors and wheelchair-friendly entrances, inclusive design principles are shaping the next generation of elevators, fostering greater inclusivity and social equity in urban environments.
The Future of Elevators: Looking ahead, the future of elevators is filled with exciting possibilities. Emerging technologies such as magnetic levitation (maglev) and vertical transportation systems promise to revolutionize vertical mobility, enabling faster speeds, higher capacities, and seamless integration with smart building ecosystems. As cities continue to grow vertically, elevators will play an increasingly pivotal role in shaping the urban landscape and redefining the way we live, work, and commute.


Summary: Designers Create Fantasy Lounges for Hollywood’s 125th Birthday Party – The seven remaining designers must transform a giant event space to throw a party for Hollywood’s 125th birthday. Each designer must create a fantasy party lounge, saluting a different era or style reflected in Hollywood movies. With less than two days to complete their spaces, some designers embrace the design challenge, while others begin to panic under the pressure. On the day of the party, Host and Mentor David Bromstad reveals an intimidating twist on their usual camera challenge: each designer must do a live presentation about their lounge to the crowd of party guests. Attending the party are the Design Panel, Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip, joined by this week’s special guest, recent inductee into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, CSI star Marg Helgenberger. After the party, the designers return to the Evaluation Studio, where this week’s winning designer is revealed and the least successful designer is sent home

It is several years since I looked closely at the Yale University Press Web Style Guide, now in its 3rd edition. This is an excellent guide to how to create web pages, especially those for such as newspapers and magazines where large amounts of text may be needed.
When I saw it first it concentrated on tables as the means of formatting pages, but since then it has moved on, as has the web, to CSS. The important aspect though is that this guide makes the designer think about the structure of a site, and specifically its usability. Whether you are planning a first web page or upgrading a major site, this is essential reading.
For example, just read what authors Patrick Lynch and Sarah Horton have to say to start their chapter on page templates:
Always start your template work with an internal page, because the internal page template will dominate the site. The home page is important, but the home page is inherently singular and has a unique role to play. Your internal page template will be used hundreds or thousands of times across larger sites, and the navigation, user interface, and graphic design of the internal pages will dominate the user’s experience of your site. Get your internal page design and navigation right, and then derive your home and secondary page designs from the internal page template
That’s food for thought for many of us who work on web pages.

Tour Edge, Golf’s Most Solid Investment, officially introduces the Exotics EXS fairway metal, featuring a myriad of game-enhancing innovations that has led Tour Edge to market the EXS line with the tagline Pound for Pound, Nothing Else Comes Close.
The loaded-with-technology fairway metals feature a Flight Tuning System (FTS) that includes 11- gram and 3-gram interchangeable weights, Cup Face Technology with Variable Face Thickness (VFT Technology) for an expanded sweet spot, multi-material usage of Carbon Fiber for ideal weight distribution and a new and improved SlipStreamTM Sole for faster clubhead speed through the turf.
The new ultra-premium, high-performance fairway woods will be available worldwide on November 1, 2018.
“The EXS fairway metal is a beautiful and traditional pear shape that we’ve been able to combine with five different integrated technologies,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod. “Exotics fairways have always been known for its superior performance characteristics and the EXS is no different. In fact, in the independent tests we’ve conducted, it’s going to provide a ton of distance gain and less dispersion to a wider variety of skill levels than ever before.”
The FTSTM Technology allows adjustable sole weights to be moved to two alternate settings; an 11-gram weight in the heel, 3-gram weight in the rear for lower spin, slice-reducing shape and a medium launch and then the 3-gram weight in the heel and 11-gram weight in the rear for medium spin, neutral shape and a higher launch. Additional weight screws can be purchased as a kit that includes 6-gram, 9- gram and 14-gram weights.
The EXS fairway metal head features premium exotic metals; a brand new United States manufactured, high-density Carpenter steel. The hyper-strength strength steel is quench-hardened, a special heating technique that takes 750 degrees to provide an extreme amount of strength while allowing for a thinner face. This cup face design allowed for Tour Edge to make the face thinner than in any previous model for a greater energy transfer. The high- performance hexagonal Variable Face Thickness (VFT) offers multiple levels of thickness that maximize forgiveness from more points on the face, especially in the heel and toe areas.
The aerodynamics in the EXS fairway wood are greatly enhanced by new and improved wider SlipStream speed channels on the sole that create a faster clubhead speed due to smoother turf interaction. The CG location of the EXS is positioned closer to the face for less spin, creating a trajectory that fights wind and increases roll.
An ultra-premium Tensei CK Blue 2G shaft series by Mitsubishi Chemical is the chosen stock shaft for the EXS fairway metal. Extremely light yet extremely stable throughout, the Tensei Blue CK features advanced materials like Carbon Fiber and Kevlar mixed with other lightweight materials that weigh in
the 50-70 gram range depending on flex. A 50-gram weight will be available in Ladies, A-flex and Regular, a 60-gram shaft available in Regular, Stiff and X-flex and a 70-gram shaft available in Stiff and X-flex.
The Exotics EXS fairway metals are available in five different lofts; 13, 15 and 17 degree 3-woods, an 18 degree 5-wood and a 21 degree 7-wood. The 15 degree 3-wood is available in left handed.
The suggested retail price for the Exotics EXS fairway metal is $229.99.
Every Tour Edge club comes with a lifetime warranty and a 30-day play guarantee. For more information, call (800) 515-3343 or visit touredge.com.

The cuckoo clock became successful and world famous after Friedrich Eisenlohr contributed the Bahnhäusle design to the 1850 competition at the Furtwangen Clockmakers School. This style is better known today as a souvenir cuckoo clock.
Bahnhäusle style, a successful design from Furtwangen
In September 1850, the first director of the Grand Duchy of Baden Clockmakers School in Furtwangen, Robert Gerwig, launched a public competition to submit designs for modern clockcases, which would allow homemade products to attain a professional appearance.
Friedrich Eisenlohr (1805–1854), who as an architect had been responsible for creating the buildings along the then new and first Badenian Rhine valley railroad, submitted the most far-reaching design. Eisenlohr enhanced the facade of a standard railroad-guard’s residence, as he had built many of them, with a clock dial.
His “Wallclock with shield decorated by ivy vines,” (in reality the ornament were grapevines and not ivy) as it is referred to in a surviving, handwritten report from the Clockmakers School from 1851 or 1852, became the prototype of today’s popular souvenir cuckoo clocks.
Eisenlohr was also up-to-date stylistically.
He was inspired by local images; rather than copying them slavishly, he modified them. Contrary to most present-day cuckoo clocks, his case features light, unstained wood and were decorated with symmetrical, flat fretwork ornaments.
Eisenlohr’s idea became an instant hit, because the modern design of the Bahnhäusle clock appealed to the decorating tastes of the growing bourgeoisie and thereby tapped into new and growing markets.
While the Clockmakers School was satisfied to have Eisenlohr’s clock case sketches, they were not fully realized in their original form. Eisenlohr had proposed a wooden facade; Gerwig preferred a painted metal front combined with an enamel dial. But despite intensive campaigns by the Clockmakers School, sheet metal fronts decorated with oil paintings (or coloured litographs) never became a major market segment because of the high cost and labour-intensive process, so only a few were produced from the 1850s until around 1870 in both wall or mantel versions, and are nowadays sought-after collector pieces.
Characteristically, the makers of the first Bahnhäusle clocks deviated from Eisenlohr’s sketch in only one way: they left out the cuckoo mechanism. Unlike today, the design with the little house was not synonymous with a cuckoo clock in the first years after 1850. This is another indication that at that time cuckoo clocks could not have been an important market segment.
In December 1854, Johann Baptist Beha, the best known maker of cuckoo clocks of his time, sold two of them, with oil paintings on their fronts, to the Furtwangen clock dealer Gordian Hettich, which were described as Bahnhöfle Uhren (“Railroad station clocks”).
More than a year later, on January 20, 1856, another respected Furtwangen-based cuckoo clockmaker, Theodor Ketterer, sold one to Joseph Ruff in Glasgow (Scotland, United Kingdom).
Concurrently with Beha and Ketterer, other Black Forest clockmakers must have started to equip Bahnhäusle clocks with cuckoo mechanisms to satisfy the rapidly growing demand for this type of clock.
Starting in the mid-1850s there was a real boom in the cuckoo clock market.
By 1860, the Bahnhäusle style had started to develop away from its original, “severe” graphic form, and evolve, among other designs, toward the well-known case with three-dimensional woodcarvings, like the Jagdstück (“Hunt piece”, design created in Furtwangen in 1861), a cuckoo clock with carved oak foliage and hunting motives, such as trophy animals, guns and powder pouches.
By 1862 the reputed clockmaker Johann Baptist Beha, started to enhance his richly decorated Bahnhäusle clocks with hands carved from bone and weights cast in the shape of fir cones.
Even today this combination of elements is characteristic for cuckoo clocks, although the hands are usually made of wood or plastic, white celluloid was employed in the past too. As for the weights, there was during this second half of the 19th century, a few models which featured weights cast in the shape of a Gnome and other curious forms.
Only ten years after its invention by Friedrich Eisenlohr, all variations of the house-theme had reached maturity.
There were also Bahnhäusle timepieces and its derivatives manufactured as mantel clocks but not as many as the wall versions.
The basic cuckoo clock of today is the railway-house (Bahnhäusle) form, still with its rich ornamentation, and these are known under the name of “traditional” (or carved); which display carved leaves, birds, deer heads (like the Jagdstück design), other animals, etc.
The richly decorated Bahnhäusle clocks have become a symbol of the Black Forest that is instantly understood anywhere in the world.
Even today it is a favourite souvenir of travelers in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The center of production continues to be the Black Forest region of Germany, in the area of Schonach and Titisee-Neustadt, where there are several dozen firms making the whole clock or parts of it.
The cuckoo clock became successful and world famous after Friedrich Eisenlohr contributed the Bahnhäusle design to the 1850 competition at the Furtwangen Clockmakers School.
The Chalet style cuckoo clock
The Chalet style originated at the end of the 19th century in Switzerland, and at that time they were highly valued as souvenirs. Indeed, music and jewelery boxes of several sizes as well as timepieces were manufactured in the shape of a typical Swiss chalet, some of those clocks also had the added feature of a cuckoo bird and other automations.
There are currently three basic Chalet styles, named after the different traditional houses depicted: Black Forest chalet, Swiss chalet (with two types the “Brienz” and the “Emmental”), and finally the Bavarian chalet.
Along with the common projecting bird, it may also display other types of animated figurines, examples include woodcutters, moving beer drinkers and turning water wheels. Some “traditional” style cuckoo clocks feature a music box and dancing figurines too.

Despite the fact that the masses are attracted to fast fashion, luxury brands have retained their position in the fashion industry over the years.
But luxury brands aren’t always vegan-friendly because they use items and processes that contribute to animal cruelty.
There’s a shift happening in the luxury fashion world, though.
The unstoppable rise of veganism has pushed many luxury fashion brands to go leather and fur-free, along with adopting more ethical and eco-friendly practices.
Let’s talk about some vegan luxury brands to better understand how the vegan fashion world is evolving.
Best Vegan Luxury Brands
With more designers and fashion labels realizing the impact of their practices on animals and the environment, there has been an increase in the search for and adoption of safe and sustainable alternatives.
As a result, we have quite a few luxury labels rebranded as ‘vegan brands’ and several new ones popping up, too. Here are some of the best ones among them:
1. Svala – Vegan Luxury Handbag Brand
Based in Los Angeles, USA
Born out of Helga Douglas’ love for animals and nature, Svala offers the finest quality handcrafted vegan handbags made from cork, pineapple leaves, recycled plastic bottles, and polyurethane. Their designs may not be the most innovative, but their attention to detail and quality make the brand stand out.
Each bag is handcrafted in LA to meet the highest sustainability standards. The wallet purses have detachable chains, allowing them to be used two ways, and even the dust bags that Svala purses come with are made with organic cotton.
Moreover, the vegan luxury purse brand donates 10% of its profits to various charity foundations, including those working to end illegal animal trading. So, when you buy a Svala handbag, you’re not only saying no to animal cruelty but also contributing to reducing it.
2. Jill Milan – Vegan Luxury Handbag & Accessories Brand
Based in San Francisco, USA
Italy has been known for luxury fashion for centuries. The country is not only home to numerous luxury brands but is also a manufacturing hub for many overseas labels. Jill Milan is one of them.
While it’s an American brand headquartered in San Francisco, its products are handcrafted in Italy by local artisans known for their finest craftsmanship.
The luxury brand was founded in 2010 only but has established a name for itself in a relatively small period of time with its excellent quality products. Jill Milan bags have made appearances on TV shows like Gossip Girl and red carpets in the hands of Hollywood celebrities like Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence.
Jill Milan’s line of products largely includes handbags that look leather-made but are completely vegan. Apart from them, the brand also offers fashion scarves.
If you’re looking to add some classic pieces to your vegan handbag and scarves collections, you should definitely check out Jill Milan.
Like Svala, Jill Milan also donates 10% of its sales money to animal welfare organizations.
3. Nanushka – Vegan Luxury Fashion Brand
Based in Budapest, Hungary
If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to build a vegan luxury wardrobe, Nanushka will have you covered.
The Hungarian brand offers everything from clothes to bags and shoes to accessories for vegan fashionistas out there.
Defining their style as Modern Bohemian, Nanushka offers items that are sleek, versatile, and chic yet not too formal. What’s more, it’s not just a women’s brand. Nanushka offers a huge variety of vegan products for men, too.
It’s also one of the few vegan luxury brands that use animal textures on their products. From blouses carrying a snakeskin print to faux croc bags and lizard skin belts, Nanushka has it all.
The brand also takes the lead in terms of variety. From clothing to accessories, there’s a huge variety of items, all made without animal ingredients and non-sustainable practices.
The fashion label was founded by a London College of Fashion graduate, Sandra Sandor, in 2005.
4. Maison Atia – Vegan Luxury Outerwear Brand
Based in New York City, USA
Adding an outer layer to your clothing is one of the easiest ways to elevate your style and get a more chic yet sophisticated look.
Maison Atia is a luxury brand that helps you do that by providing an extensive variety of vegan outerwear. But these aren’t just any outerwear. The brand specializes in what the non-vegan luxury clothing industry is most criticized for. Fur!
It’s not real fur, though, of course. But Maison Atia lets vegans feel what the hype around fur in the luxury fashion industry is all about.
Chloe Mandel, the designer behind this vegan luxury brand, has imitated the animal material beautifully and offers an incredible range of luxe faux fur vests, sweaters, jackets, boleros, and coats.
While it’s essentially an outerwear brand, you can find some faux fur accessories and home goods, too, such as bags, eye masks, scarves, caps and hats, headbands, pillow covers, and throws.
The brand uses Koba to make faux fur, which, for those who may not know, is a fabric made from upcycled materials. It’s vegan and also eco-friendly.
5. O2 Monde – Vegan Luxury Shoe Brand
Based in NYC, USA
O2 Monde is a luxury brand that brings vegan, sustainable shoes from Italy to fashion-forward women in the USA to help them meet their style needs without compromising their ideological commitment.
O2 Monde shoes are handmade with love and care from natural plant materials at small, family-owned factories in Italy to ensure the best quality.
Knowing that many vegans are also concerned about using adhesives that contain animal ingredients, O2 Monde ensures that every component of their shoes is animal-free and vegan-friendly, from adhesives to insoles to uppers.
To support sustainability in fashion, O2 Monde only makes shoes in small batches, so there’s no overstocking. The limited editions drop monthly to ensure there’s no shortage of products, either. It keeps consumers excited as well.
The materials O2 Monde vegan shoes are made of include (but are not limited to) recycled and recyclable rubbers, bio polyurethane, and cactus leather.
There are a variety of different types of shoes available at O2 Monde, including sandals, sneakers, boots, flats, and heels. But if you’re to define the brand’s style, it would be bold, chunky, and comfy.
6. Votch – Vegan Luxury Watch Brand
Based in London, UK
Stainless steel timepieces were once the only option for vegans looking to buy wristwatches. But those days are thankfully long gone. We now have several companies making vegan leather watches for those committed to a plant-based lifestyle.
But let’s face it – they are not all good quality. If truth be told, there are plenty of cheap vegan leather watch options on the market, and there’s a lack of classy ones. Votch fills up that space for luxury fashion buyers.
The vegan and cruelty-free watch company offers fine quality timepieces with super classy vegan straps made with vegan leather, Pinatex, and mesh.
Votch watches are simple, chic, and elegant and are characterized by their unisex designs (they have designs specifically for men and women, too), oversized dials, and minimalistic frames.
The British vegan luxury watch company donates 10% of its sales to charity organizations every month (they choose a different one every time to make a wider impact).
Although Votch is essentially a watch company, it also offers a few different types of vegan accessories. These include bags, purses, pouches, cardholders, and bangles.
7. Benedetti Life – Luxury Vegan Clothing Brand
Based in Ljubljana, Slovenia
Founded by the award-winning designer and environmentalist Matera Benedetti in 2019, Benedetti Life isn’t just another vegan luxury fashion brand. It has a greater purpose than just serving fashion-forward vegans.
The brand aims to ‘promote slow fashion and give a voice to endangered species.’ The company also has PETA’s seal of approval.
If you’re looking to add some timeless pieces to your vegan wardrobe, shop from Benedetti Life’s animal-inspired clothing lines.
The brand uses sustainable fabrics, like organic cotton, plant-based silk, pineapple leather, and bamboo, to craft its luxury clothes.
Apart from its ethos, another factor that makes Benedetti Life stand out in the luxury/ vegan fashion world is that the brand caters to a wide variety of audiences.
In addition to usual western clothes, the brand also makes items for those who follow modest fashion. There are long dresses and vegan abayas for those who prefer more covered clothes.
One thing that stands out in Benedetti Life’s clothes is digital designs. The brand uses that because digital printing requires less water than traditional printing. Moreover, the dyes that are used are eco-friendly.
The range of products includes dresses, blazers, shirts, blouses, coats, jackets, pajamas, trousers, skirts, kaftans, abayas, and even raincoats. There are several items for men as well.
8. Save the Duck – Luxury Vegan Winter Outerwear Brand
Based in Milano, Italy
Established with the mission ‘to create products that respect animals, the environment, and people,’ Save the Duck is an Italian brand that specializes in vegan and sustainable outerwear.
The brand makes vegan puffer jackets, parkas, rain jackets, and gilets, along with some accessories and shoes, primarily for the cold weather.
Save the Duck uses Plumtech technology to replicate the fluffiness, lightness, and warmth of down and feather jackets. They also offer similar (if not the same) protection against cold, wind, and water as your standard ones without sacrificing animals for your safety.
One thing that makes Save the Duck different from all other vegan luxury brands on our list is that it doesn’t make items for men and women; it makes clothes for kids and pets, too. Isn’t it great?
For a long time, vegan fashion and luxury were considered the opposite of each other, and you would think of a hipster-looking person when people talked about vegans.
But times have changed, and we now have a rapidly-growing vegan luxury fashion world, making it easier for those belonging to this community to dress nicely and look as chic and stylish as their non-vegan counterparts without contributing to animal cruelty.
If you’re also looking to give your wardrobe a vegan makeover with some luxury pieces, do not forget to check out my suggested brands. You’ll find some really good options, I promise.
These brands will get your vegan wardrobe sorted, but what about perfumes? Check out my article Best Vegan Perfume Brands to get your hands on some animal-free fragrances as well.

The functional layers that a perovskite solar cell consists, could be fabricated using roll-to-roll production techniques, which offer high-throughput and cost-effective manufacturing processes. Here is a description of each layer in a perovskite stack and its potential roll-to-roll application:
1. Substrate: The substrate layer provides mechanical support for the entire device and can be a flexible material such as plastic or metal foil. Roll-to-roll production allows for continuous deposition of the substrate material on a large-scale roll, enabling the fabrication of flexible solar cells.
2. Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) Electrode: This layer is typically made of materials like indium tin oxide (ITO) or fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and serves as a transparent electrode to allow light to pass through while collecting the generated charges. Roll-to-roll techniques, such as sputtering or chemical vapor deposition, can be used to deposit a uniform and conductive TCO layer on the substrate.
3. Electron Transport Layer (ETL): The ETL facilitates the extraction of electrons from the perovskite layer and their efficient transport to the electrode. Materials like titanium dioxide (TiO2) or zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are commonly used. Roll-to-roll methods like slot-die coating or spray coating can be employed to deposit the ETL layer uniformly over large areas.
4. Perovskite Absorber Layer: This layer is the heart of the perovskite solar cell, consisting of an organometal halide perovskite material. The perovskite layer absorbs sunlight and generates electron-hole pairs. Various techniques, such as spin coating, inkjet printing, or blade coating, can be adapted for roll-to-roll production to deposit a continuous and uniform perovskite layer on the ETL.
5. Hole Transport Layer (HTL): The HTL assists in the selective extraction and transport of the holes (positive charges) generated in the perovskite layer. Materials like polymeric hole-transport materials or small molecules like spiro-OMeTAD are commonly used. Roll-to-roll methods such as doctor blade coating or screen printing can be utilized to deposit the HTL layer uniformly on top of the perovskite layer.
6. Metal Electrode: The metal electrode layer, often made of materials like silver or gold, collects the holes generated in the perovskite layer and completes the electrical circuit. Roll-to-roll techniques like thermal evaporation or sputtering can be employed to deposit a thin metal electrode layer on top of the HTL.
Roll-to-roll production allows for the continuous deposition of each layer on a flexible substrate, enabling the manufacturing of perovskite solar cells in a cost-effective and scalable manner. Techniques such as slot-die coating, spray coating, inkjet printing, blade coating, doctor blade coating, and screen printing are all compatible with roll-to-roll processes and can be adapted for each layer of the perovskite stack. These methods ensure uniformity, high throughput, and precise control over layer thickness, making roll-to-roll production an attractive option for large-scale manufacturing of perovskite solar cells.


Although web design combines the programming and graphic design disciplines, it’s not just a task for developers. So, in order to get the best out of your website, you need to get the best digital marketers involved from the beginning.
For instance, in the light of the global pandemic that’s ongoing, many edtech companies and related sectors reached out to affected sectors to help out the best way they can. Digital technology’s effect on education has never been as felt as now.
Even web products not related to the education market found a way to capture students and educators surging online for distance learning. They included this in their marketing campaigns and customized some products for education in the new normal.
Such campaigns are the brainchild of digital marketers finding ways to increase brand awareness in a time of global crisis. And web design is a big part of these marketing campaigns.
Web design is more than just aesthetics. Any element of your online presence is influenced by great web design. Ensure that your website is one of the primary sources of information about your company and promotion in the online world.
Given that design is concerned with graphic elements and SEO is concerned with making your website discoverable, it may seem that SEO and web design are independent of each other. Designers and SEOs can execute very different activities, but that doesn’t mean they work together.
When combined, the two will have a significant effect on your company’s profits. That’s why, whether you’re considering getting a website built or revamped, it’s critical to understand why website design and SEO are necessary — and what that means for your site.
How Web Design Boosts Your SEO
1. Page Layout and Formatting
The design of your page is critical. The interface will vary in anything from the size of the text to where you place information, links, and images. Users would be dissatisfied with a website that has little or excessive font size.
It is necessary to use a standard font size and to remember the color of both the text and the context. Using a difficult-to-read backdrop and font color would also prevent users from engaging with your content.
It means they can skip vital details or abandon the website entirely.
Your URL can also be updated to a worded structure, such as www.Google.com rather than www.Google.com/?page id=2021.
Companies in this day and age are so many different online businesses that if they are dissatisfied with your website or what you have to sell, they will quickly find it elsewhere.
So, you must make sure that your page layout and formatting are user-friendly and accessible. The more readers and visitors engage with your site content, the greater your dwell time will be. Higher dwell time means a lower bounce rate. These are part of the SEO metrics that search engines look for to determine SERP (Search Engine Results Page) rankings.
2. Navigation and Accessibility
Navigation is one of the essential components of a great user experience, and because of that, you should keep it simple. The more efficiently your web users will discover what they’re looking for, the more likely they are to convert.
Easy-to-use navigation also lowers your visitors’ chances of getting confused, leaving your site, lowering your bounce rate, and improving your rankings.
Although your designers may be more concerned with the non-text elements on your site, they must choose fonts and sizes that are easy to read for your guests.
The designer should know to leave plenty of room for copy. To rank high, you’ll need a lot of valuable, optimized content that can help the SEO of your site. Sometimes, designers might have difficulty aligning their design with the corporate objectives because they like their design.
But a good designer can use their design to boost corporate objectives to the best of their capacity. They can strategically combine aesthetics with function, so they create designs that convert as well.
4. High-quality Imagery
Another element that can boost your dwell time and domain authority is including high-quality imagery in your web design. It boosts your user’s trust in your website. It is why web design has a significant role in businesses. Most users will leave a website and cease any business because they did not like the web design.
A good web design is both visually pleasing and navigable, which encourages greater engagement with on-site. It will improve chances for conversions and improve SEO rankings.
Good design delivers a one-two punch that makes consumers overcome their natural distrust of brands, allowing them to enter into a partnership with your business more efficiently.
You must also have quality material on your website. By combining high-quality content with eye-catching graphics, you encourage visitors to associate with your content, indicating to search engines that your platform is trustworthy and deserving of ranking.
5. High-Quality and Relevant Content
Aside from keywords, the content is the most critical part of creating a website. The content can be anything from the types of words used on a webpage to pictures to sound clips and any content that gives a user information about a business. Content is significant to your website.
The content on your homepage will help a user determine whether they want to keep reading or check out what is on the other pages. It is the first thing users see. If you will take your time on something on your website, it should be the content. Content planning will make or break your website’s success.
6. Keyword Research
Keywords assist a search engine in knowing that a website is attempting to communicate and whether it is relevant and helpful to people. You need to know what users in your target market are using to search for information on the web.
What problems do they have that pushed them to search on the internet in the first place? And does your website provide some solutions to those problems? If your website can add value to users, then search engines will rank you high in SEO, so users find your site better.
So start a keyword analysis and see what consumers are looking for and how competitive the market is. There are online resources that will assist you in determining which keywords would be more effective for you to use while building your website. Your web design should also reflect this value. Include keywords in your images, videos, titles, and tags as well.
It’s normal for SEO to expect a keyword to appear once every 100 sentences. It means that if a page has 200 words, you can use the keyword twice, each time in a different way. It’s crucial not to overuse keywords, as search engines also consider when determining SEO rankings.
It’s also a social media trend to include keywords you rank for in your campaigns. Use them as hash words in your posts to keep echoing your keywords online.
7. Site Speed
A 100-millisecond delay in load time will reduce conversions by 7%. A sluggish website can kill your conversion rates. Your web design has to be fast to keep users on-site, which boosts your SEO ranking.
If users get tired of waiting for your site to launch, they will leave in a matter of seconds. Google will consider that you’re giving its users a bad experience. Therefore, it will lower your search engine rank.
Make sure that your website has robust protection against the most prevalent cybersecurity risks. One of the significant effects of a cyber attack is crippling your site’s performance and speed. In most cases, it is worse, as your website can get taken down by a cyberattack or taken down by the search engines because of spam issues. Improve and protect your site’s speed and performance with a robust cybersecurity strategy that fights against malware attacks and detects them before it’s too late.
Conclusion: Improving Your Web Design Boosts Your SEO
Web design affects user experience, but it also affects search engine rankings. Poor web design practices lower your SEO rank, showing your site lower in search. That directly affects your business’s bottom line, which is why it’s so important to invest in SEO-focused web design from the start. Combine marketing and web design best practices to create a site that looks great and ranks highly in search.
It can take months to see significant SEO results, but it is necessary to ensure a business can thrive in this highly digital age. There is so much competition out there. With SEO in mind, your website is on its way to ranking higher than if you have to go back and rebuild it. By keeping these factors in mind from the very beginning of building your website, you can only benefit in the end.

Unlock the secrets of an ancient tradition
Sepp leaf offers a comprehensive range of leaf in a multitude of patterns, colors and textures. Ribbon leaf provides a rigorous grid or swath of color, loose and patent squares create a hand-done, organic look, schaibin and tamisé flakes provide exuberant and artistic patterns. A variety of gilding adhesive systems help create different levels of sheen: muted, matte, high gloss and burnished brilliance.
Sepp Leaf's dedicated staff provides the technical expertise you need, along with impeccable service. We guide you through every step of the process: sourcing of materials and artisans, specifications, supply and follow up. We welcome the opportunity to assist you in planning your gilding project and helping to ensure a brilliant crown to your artistic achievement.
From the beginning, an essential component of SeppLeaf's business was sharing technical expertise, and to this day education informs every project we help with. Through trade shows, seminars, conferences and workshops, as well as store demonstrations and classes, helping customers learn about the best materials and methods is at the heart of our business.
The roots of the current gold leaf business were first put down in New York in 1956, with John E. Sepp Import Agencies, which represented foreign manufacturers of lighting, furniture and picture frames. John's son Peter took a keen interest in the company. Peter recognized an exciting opportunity to import and distribute gold leaf products here in the U.S. By the eighties, the gold leaf market outpaced the Agency business, and the full change over to import and distribution happened when SeppLeaf Products was incorporated in 1984.
Our leadership now includes Peter's daughter Lauren, and team members are logistics, procurement, admin, gilders, tech and sales support specialists who have been with us for decades. Whether the project you bring is historic or contemporary, small or large, local or international, we are always thrilled to welcome and support our SeppLeaf family of artists and artisans.
Lauren Sepp, who is Vice President of SeppLeaf Products, is the third generation in her family business which specializes in gilding products for the trade. After receiving her B.S. in Merchandising from the University of Delaware, Lauren joined the company in New York City, where it has served as a local and international resource for gold leaf and related materials for over five decades. She enjoys bringing traditional and innovative products to market, and helping gilders and artisans around the world create beauty with gold leaf.

Petron’s Royal Connection
1st Royal Loft
In 1983 Petron were commissioned to build a new loft for the now late Queen Elizabeth II. The loft at the time was the most modern style for pigeon racing and was designed for the loft manager Mr Alan Pearce.
2nd Royal Loft
In the early 90’s a new loft was built which reflected new designs and modern racing accessories.
The loft manager was Mr Carlo Napolitano who liked to fly to the open door system of racing.
3rd & current Royal Loft
Todays loft completed in 2015 just shows how loft design has advanced over the years incorporating new trapping systems for electronic timing.
The new Royal loft which was completed in September 2015 is 23m x 3m and has 8 compartments plus a large corn store. The loft is designed for Widowhood and Natural racing and features front aviaries to all sections.
Birds are released from the aviaries and enter the loft via the trapping systems. Mr Farrow, the loft manager, is now in the process of breeding for the Young Bird season and is looking forward to racing from the new loft.
Meeting the Queen

Berit is a jewelry designer living in Marin County, California. She started her jewelry career by wanting to learn how to string a necklace so it wouldn't fall apart and things took off from there. She works with metal clay, silver wire, semiprecious stones, pearls and other media depending on the piece. Current jewelry trends, nature, color and new techniques and materials give each piece its shape and personality. She has been inspired and taught by many including Hadar Jacobson, Lisa Claxton, Emily Miller and her jewelry group. All of the pieces are one of a kind and never massed produced so each piece is different and unique.


My name is Elaine and I love to knit. As long as I can remember I have been knitting or crocheting or doing some form of craft work. It was just something that my family did, and there is still nothing better than sitting on a Saturday night with my Mum and my sister Lorna chatting and knitting and making things. We started our knitting craft business ECdesigns 30 years ago, knitting lots of the Jean Greenhowe Christmas decorations, we knit so many decorations that we decided we needed an outlet for our work, looking around we found a Christmas Craft Fair in our local area and decided to go to that. The morning of the fair was terrifying as we set out our stall and wondered if anyone would buy anything. It was successful, we sold most of our stock that day and that gave us the Craft Fair bug. Since then we have travelled the length and breadth of Northern Ireland selling our knitted dolls. Sometimes doing really well and other times selling nothing, but whether we sell anything or not we always enjoy ourselves and come home with new ideas and ready to make more dolls. We no longer make just Christmas Decorations; we make a wide variety of character dolls, ECdesign dolls are well knit and individual, each doll has its own personality, some of the character dolls we knit cannot be found anywhere else as we make the patterns for them. Each doll is hand knit and finished off to a very high standard using good quality wool and non-allergenic, washable toy stuffing.
I have now moved on to create original knitting patterns, I love this new area of design and I am always looking for new ideas.
Update 2020 - I am still knitting!! and because of the current situation with the Corona Virus Pandemic, I'm knitting and designing toys more than ever. I was delighted to have one of my knitting patterns featured in Knit Now Magazine - Issue 117 June 2020, The Mermaid. I am also looking forward to Issue 122 of Knit Now Magazine, its a Christmas issue and my Santa & Mrs Claus will be in it :)


Silfab Solar’s ELITE Panels, Made Exclusively in USA, Combine Advanced Technology with Sleek Design

(I know it's a card with trees on it, I am saving my family pics for later :)
Earlier this year I won a HUGE Giveaway package from Jacob Dean Photography. My head is still spinning! I decided to be very patient and wait until Fall to have the shots done so I could use them for our Christmas cards. A few weeks ago I started looking around online for some ideas to showcase my new family portraits. I settled on a simple card design that looks very similar to the one above. After checkout, envelopes, shipping and taxes they came out to about $2.05 per card! I want about 100 cards, so that's over $200 bucks for me -um, I'll pass. I looked at the cheaper options and they still priced for over $1.00 per card and they looked, well, cheaper. Of course, because I have nothing else in my life to accomplish, I decided to figure out how to do it myself. Now you too can have your cards printed, for an average of .50 cents per card (including envelopes).
WARNING: This is the longest post ever, but still these are so easy to make. After figuring it out, I can now design a card in under 10 minutes. This will save me tons of trouble in the future!

b. You can choose picture pile, mosaics or grid. I choose picture pile so I can create a blank space between pics.
c. Play around with border optionsd. If you want a color to your borders choose one here
e. UN-check Draw Shadows
Arrange your photos how you would like them in your lay out.
*TIP I made a space in between two pics so I can add a statement in.
*Extend your pictures a little bit past the 5x7 edge so that they will print cleanly.
Click Create Collage.
Click Edit in Picnik
Now play around with stickers and text and colors
(I used geometric rectangles and a triangle, for for the banner, added a snowflake, then text.)
Save it to your pictures and upload it to your favorite photo developer.
**At SAMS they offer 5x7 prints for as low as .34 cents (.38 for in club pickup)
***You can find envelopes for around 7-15 cents a piece. Look for size A7 envelopes (5 1/4 x 7 1/4). Try Amazon.com, Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
I hope this helps you save a little extra jingle for the holidays!
I'd love to see what you come up with!

solo exhibition at Desaga Gallery, Cologne
gaphic design: Christina Mayer
On June 22nd 2009, 4 months before Charlotte Desaga founded the independent Galerie Desaga, Eastman Kodak Co. announced that after 74 years, the production of their Kodachrome film would be stopped. The Kodak Kodachrome was the world’s first colour slide film and a commercial success for decades. When Charlotte Desaga starts the new season with the opening of Marcel Hiller’s exhibition “DESAGA” on September 7th 2012, Kodak will already be insolvent for months. Google, Samsung and Apple are aiming to bid on the patents of the company, whose trade name Kodak is most likely to remain—but in a way that is detached from the material, which the brand actually stands for since the company’s founding in 1892. The name Kodak will seize to represent a unity of film and apparatus that is easy to operate, even by amateurs: YOU PUSH THE BUTTON, WE DO THE REST.
With his work, Marcel Hiller (born 1982) negotiates the situational conditions of approved spaces. By orchestrating these spaces, he sharpens their readability—in opposition to their neutralizing representative claims. At Galerie Desaga’s new premises, there will be objects of imagined use and imagined function that don’t take shape through the concreteness of their imagination conception, but through their potential of representation and usefulness. Marcel Hiller will develop a new logo for the exhibition DESAGA. It will turn the gallery’s designation into a diagram that serves as a formal instrument, trace and mark. Hiller uses the logo as a matrix for decision-making, for tracing formally and informally claimed structures, which are linked and materialised within the architecture of space and artistic production—just like the gallery itself. By blurring the clear concepts of object, sign and claim, Marcel Hiller binds a diagram of his first gallery solo show to the medium of spatial staging.


2015 ANNUAL 5-STAR AWARDS
Right On Pointe was asked to produce a high profile event honoring the world’s four and five-star global resorts, restaurants, and spas. Since Forbes Travel Guide sets the highest standards for their rated members, it was imperative that the event provide flawless communication, preparation and execution. In attendance were General Managers and C-level executives from all of the major luxury hotel resorts and restaurants: The Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Mandarin, Rosewood and Loews. The 3-day headline event included the Five-Star awards, an all-day symposium, breakouts, red carpet celebration and after glow.
The Right On Pointe team managed every aspect of planning and collaboration with the Ritz-Carlton, Naples to create custom menus, room drops, and even custom “bottled” cocktail beverages for sponsors. The awards event was staged on a carpeted beach, set with HD-LED screens and dramatic designs. The Right On Pointe team choreographed all productions with synchronized dinner service and live headline entertainment.
With Forbes, everything is in the details and ‘the standards they create.’ Right On Pointe provided the level of service that only royalty would expect. The Forbes brand was featured through use of branded items that one would never expect (for example, branded sand castles and snow globes with miniature Forbes magazines, robes and slippers) – providing that element of surprise.
Right On Pointe created a picture-perfect event that was unexpected and innovative, while setting new standards for luxury and design.

I love dogs. I love making art. I love making art about dogs. Mosaic portraits are made from stained glass, inspired by your photo,
in a variety of sizes. Simply email me your photo and I will give you an estimate based on the size you specify and the level of detail required to render the image. Photos make good candidates for mosaic if they:
• show the dog's eyes
• feature the dog in a happy expression
• show adequate detail and contrast
• size (11x14, 12x12, 16x20, other)
• framing / hanging hardware installed
• choosing the color(s) for background
• embedding the dog's name and/or tag
It is not necessary that the photo show the exact correct color of the dog, so long as you can show me another photo which does feature the dog's true color.
Mosaic prices begin at $500 and increase based on size and complexity. Turn around time ranges from 4-6 weeks, but can be negotiated. Holidays are busy times so please order early!

Each piece in my multi layered resin collection undergoes a dedicated creative process that spans between nine and 14 days. With a minimum of six layers, each meticulously applied and requiring drying periods of 24 to 48 hours, my art comes to life with an extraordinary depth. I take pride in mixing my colors using high-quality artist pigments, ensuring that each original carries the essence of my vision and my recognizable color pallete. To protect and preserve my creations, I exclusively use nontoxic museum and conservation-grade epoxy resin, guaranteeing long-lasting beauty that won't yellow with age. What makes these creations truly one-of-a-kind is the breathtaking depth achieved through many layers, creating an almost three-dimensional effect. I invite you to interact with each piece, as they beckon to be picked up and explored. By moving them around, you can witness the captivating color-changing and holographic effects that unfold within the intricate layers.
"Desert Dreamscapes" is inspired by the untamed wildlife and majestic landscapes of the American West, this collection transports you to the ancient and mystical realms of the desert. Throughout history, this otherworldly terrain has drawn seekers of enlightenment, offering transformative experiences and a respite from the constraints of everyday life. With "Desert Dreamscapes," you too can embark on this soul-stirring journey.
Immerse yourself in the ethereal splendor of a desert night sky, adorned with holographic moon halos and a myriad of stars that twinkle above. Hand-painted wildlife gracefully soar and leap amidst the dreamy vista, their presence adding a touch of enchantment to the glittering cacti that punctuate the landscape. Beneath the layers of resin lies a world of psychedelic beauty, with highly pigmented backgrounds flowing in a mesmerizing palette and vibrant hues that evoke adventure seeking emotions. Delight in the color-changing pigments that dance across the surface with Claudine's self created holographic and crackling techniques, reveal the cracks in our perceived reality, a visual representation of the fragile nature of existence.
These original pieces are an extraordinary addition to any space, infusing your home with an aura of mysticism and a connection to the timeless wonders of the desert. Allow "Desert Dreamscapes" to transport you to a realm where imagination and reality intertwine, where the enchanting beauty of the desert unveils its secrets.
In my captivating Nautical Whimsy resin series, I delve into the fluidity of sea breezes and swirling waves. Each element, from the graceful seagulls with their feathered wings and webbed feet, to the vibrant palette of warm and cold colors, serves as a symbolic portrait of the harmony between air and water, ocean and sky. The resin application grants these pieces a lustrous, ocean-like surface, adorned with glimmering sparkles that resemble the dance of sunlight on water. These one-of-a-kind originals boast remarkable depth created through multiple layers, achieving an almost three-dimensional effect. My ultimate goal is to transport viewers into a captivating world of colorful ocean adventures, where seagulls glide along through the currents, marine life playfully frolic in the waves, and sunsets and shooting stars grace the sky.
