A New Web Design Trend

Web Design NewHere, at Noam Design, we are constantly contributing to the web design world community and we’ve often pioneered new practices and innovative concepts within the industry. What we call ‘Load Sequencing’ and ‘Content Flushing’ are two ways to tremendously enhance the user experience for websites and web applications that are rich in design and/or features.

Screen Resolution Statistics

When designing a website, it is a good idea for a web designer to make the design fit within a 1024px screen width (so about 1000px for the actual site design). Below are the latest known screen resolution statistics (US & Canada). What you can read from the web statistics below is that the big majority of users are using a display with 1024 pixels or more.
