Time Management In The Web Design World

Managing Time While Web Designing

Time has always been a phenomenal subject among the ordinary and the unordinary. Nobody can really explain the nature of time; we simply follow it by days, months, and years. In the web design world however the philosophy of time consists of productivity, creativity, efficiency, and deadlines. (more…)

Gmail Team Develops A New Feature Based on Noam Design’s Concept

GmailAbout 5 months ago, we published a blog post containing the details of one of our innovative concepts. In the post, we took Gmail as a great example of a widely used rich internet application that could benefit from the concept.

Recently, the Gmail team implemented the idea we published almost literally with a new lab: inbox preview. The only 2 things missing are:

  1. Keep the preview open in an overlay lightbox even after the entire Gmail interface has loaded (and add a close button)
  2. Add the ability to click on a message in the inbox preview that would lead to the message (right now the inbox preview is static)

Web Uploader – Multi-select And Progress Bars

swf uploadHello 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!

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. 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In today’s internet browsing experience, there is nothing more frustrating and outdated than waiting for a web page to load.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. (more…)
