Today’s Find is a roundup of great t-shirts for web designers with a sense of humor. There’s nothing like an extremely nerdy t-shirt for a good laugh (Big Bang Theory, anyone?*). I just recently discovered nerdy t-shirts made specifically for designers, and I knew I had to share. Below are some of my favorites, with links to where you can buy them. Enjoy!
James T. Davis open its doors in downtown Lynchburg more than 70 years ago. Today, the company continues to be at the forefront of the paint and interior design industries in our city. The company has continually evolved into the modern paint resource that it is today, and they needed a website to reflect that. While their previous site was at one point informative and efficient, the company decided they were overdue for a ‘fresh coat’ in terms of web design.
In the ongoing battle of the browsers, Internet Explorer, especially IE6, continues to be the thorn in the side of web designers everywhere. The web design industry is constantly evolving and changing for the better; HTML5 and CSS3 are both the newest (and most capable) versions of the web coding languages. Older browsers, and even some modern browsers, do not support these newer versions of code, which limits the abilities of web design. There are various hacks and solutions for this problem, one of which is CSS3 Pie.
I’ve talked before about web safe fonts, and the alternative options for using beyond-the-basics fonts in web design. Google’s Font API, for example, has been a go-to resource for many of my web design projects. Recently though I have found myself embedding fonts more and more often. Read on to find out why and for a helpful resource.
As promised a few weeks ago, we have been busy making some changes and updates to the GetCreative website. The newest change is the structure of our web design portfolio. We work hard to ensure that each website portrays the needs and desires of our clients, and we wanted our portfolio to reflect this. There is still plenty of eye-candy, and some additional information about each project to give some insight into our design process.
Last month I had the pleasure of working with the wonderful leaders at St. John’s Episcopal Church here in Lynchburg. St. John’s is modern parish located in a beautiful church off Rivermont Avenue in Lynchburg’s Historic District. Such a lovely establishment deserved a website to reflect their rich history while showcasing the efforts they put into modern conveniences for their parish members. Read on to see the results below.

Welcome to the third group of websites that have been redesigned by GetCreative. Each before and after shot shows the progression of a client’s website…amazing what good design can do for you! The amount of change that each site undergoes varies depending on the specific needs of each client. I hope you will enjoy these transformations.

I’m excited to show off some changes here on the GetCreative Web Design site. ‘The cobbler’s children go barefoot’ no more…or however that saying goes. It can be so easy to put off work on our own businesses when we put the client first. It pays off, though, to dedicate some time to our own projects; this helps ensure that we continue to gather new clients for the future.
I first began working with Argus Computer Services back in May of 2009. As noted in this Before and After post, the company was in need of a website update. Both the design and functionality of the site were outdated and in need of attention. Argus is located in Midlothian, Virginia and specializes in computer repair and upgrades for small business and residential clients.
With Google Image Search at your fingertips, it can be easy to forget how and why to be responsible when using images from the web for your own purposes. As a blogger as well as a photographer, I understand both sides of this situation and the need for clarification. This post will outline some basic rules and regulations for using others’ images online, as well as some legal alternatives to paying for photos.
