Great news here at Noam Design: www.unclip.com has arrived! Unclip is a coupon code website that offers thousands discount coupon codes and promotions for hundreds of on-line stores.  As Unclip.com grows, more and more coupons and stores are being added. So unclip.com is a unique website where all the discount codes and coupons available across the internet can be found, searched, and used. Talk about enhancing our online shopping experience!

I highly recommend viewing the project’s case. Unclip is a unique website project and we developed new ways of designing a complex web applications.

Navigating the site is intuitive and browsing Unclip.com’s for discounts/promotions for specific stores or categories is easy.  With the powerful search function, you can search across the entire database for stores/coupons/promotions that match your criteria.

Another great feature of Unclip.com is the Firefox Extension.  When users install the Firefox Extension, a toolbar button is added to their Firefox browser.  Users will be alerted when they visit an on-line store that Unclip.com has coupons for.  Clicking on the toolbar button will display Unclip.com’s top three coupons for the on-line store that they are currently browsing.  From there, the user can choose to visit Unclip.com to view that store’s coupons in more detail.

The website also offers the ability to copy a store’s coupon code into the user’s clipboard. The user is then directed to open that store’s website where he/she can paste the coupon code into the appropriate section. Try it for yourself – it’s much easier to use the site than to explain how it works! (more…)

Here, 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. These concepts allow for the almost instantaneous fetching of web content to the user, while other elements of the website or web application are seamlessly loading.

What is it all about?

In today’s internet browsing experience, there is nothing more frustrating and outdated than waiting for a web page to load.  We believe that when you go to a website, you shouldn’t have to wait for the site’s content to load, but rather you should be able to view relevant content right away – or at least be entertained while the main content of the page is loading. In other words, some web content should be fetched to the user immediately. For simple, light weight websites, the question may not be as critical. But for websites and web applications that are rich in features and/or design, it’s of the utmost importance. Especially given that more than 80% of all internet use is spent on rich web applications! Web based emailing and chatting, social networking, and video browsing, etc are just a few examples.
