Rockable Press, the people behind the sites like Freelance Switch have just published a new and great ebook helping you to write better copy for your sites.
As this is an issue we all constantly battle with, from our clients asking us how to do it to even ourselves trying to come up with the best copy for our sites I thought I’d let you know about it.
You can find the ebook and more info about it on Rockable Press website
How many CMS sites have you worked on last year?
OK, maybe not many. Maybe you still work in the Jurassic era and do all changes for your clients in the code. The majority of sites these days require some form of a CMS systems though. And that means their owners have full control over their content. Also, they now decide what goes where. Very often your expertise in that field is no longer required.
Web design has definitely changed and you can either cop on or extinct. Not a great prospect, eh? Two years ago you could have shown off how great you are by your knowledge of creating the sites structure, today the client knows better. And very often doesn’t want to listen to you.
Good news! There is something new though they need your help with.
I just published a new guest post on Graphic Design Blog entitled “Is Selling Websites Really That Easy?”.
In it I discuss some things that can help you understand better what you sell.

Designers love baseline.
I actually found this sentence amongst my notes the other day. It sounded true from the start yet still got me thinking. Yes, designers love baseline. It helps so much, doesn’t it? It keeps copy organized, especially with multicolumn layouts.
There are probably countless examples of great grids where baseline plays important role and numerous books featuring great examples of them. I bet your library is full of those books.
When it comes to the web the situation is somewhat, well, … strange.
