Hello Web Designers!

Look at what I found: http://swfupload.org/
It’s a free Flash based uploader that allow – like Gmail (and other application such as the TinyMCE Image Manager) – to upload multiple files at once, and show the upload progression of each file!

Here’s a live demo, try to upload some files!

Besides, we can also personalize the “Upload Files” button, which allows us to integrate this useful tool to many CMS systems and other web applications we build!

Hi everyone,

I’ve distilled some of our company’s design guidelines down into article form! I hope you’re able to take away some useful info on good web design practices. 

Your website design is the foundation upon which your web presence will be built. It affects you (or your company’s) identity, your user’s experience, the strength of your message, and much, much more. Web design is about more than just a strong visual. It consists of a myriad of separate details that accumulate to provide a strong website and a smooth user experience. (more…)

Web pages that look “homemade” are but one of a million different design choices that you (a web designer) or them (a client) can make when constructing a website. Below are a couple of tools that can ease that particular design process. (more…)

Web design companies can make a difference on the planet. Every time we make a positive choice, we can make a huge difference not only on our immediate environment, but even on a much larger scale.

Let me give you one small example. When thinking about the recession and its consequences on some people, you might dab a few tears with a facial tissue. Or since you want to come to work even when you’re sick, you might use the tissues in the office to deal with a runny or stuffed-up nose. But the tissue you reach for can make a difference! The Natural Resources Defense Council has calculated that if every household in the United States replaced just one box of conventional facial tissues (175 count) with 100% recycled ones, together we could save 163,000 trees for our children’s world. Many of these trees would be valuable virgin wood. Saving forests helps reduce global warming. (more…)

Hey everyone,

Great video from John Resig (the creator of jQuery) explaining the DOM to Yahoo developers:

Web design is an industry that may not generate as much pollution as some other fields. However, since its inception, Noam Design has made continuous efforts to be a role model eco-friendly company, reusing material (such as bags), reducing waist, recycling, and more. All of our computers are Energy Star compliant, all of our paper is made out of 100% recycled paper, we use reusable mugs and ceramic cups instead of plastic cups, the furniture we use is environment friendly, etc. We try to make our offices and practices as friendly as possible for the planet.

We at Noam Design believe that U.S. businesses must play a key role in the protection of the environement. We have joined other environmental leaders in contributing to effective strategies for combating climate change and other effects of pollution.

From the very beginning, our team has been an eclectic mix of personalities and different backgrounds. But we all share a deep respect for the world outside of the virtual marketplace that we work in. And now, more than ever, we are concerned about the planet that we live in and what we can do to ensure a clean and beautiful future for the next generations.  Already having a strict attitude from the onset, Noam Design has decided to do more and to encourage our clients, partners, and competitors to do the same.
