CONZZ_ARCHIVES
(Web Info Newsletter for The Rest of Us!)
Do We Need Another Newsletter?
That depends...
I subscribe to a slew of them and what I've noticed is that most are full of self-aggrandizement, misinformation, techy-speak, advertisements, invitations to $3,000+ conferences on obscure Web technologies (that's some expensive mini-egg rolls!), or enough acronyms to qualify as a programming language. Out of the few that I monitor that are accurate, timely and well written, none would provide the non-technical audience with helpful and comprehensible information on Web site design and development topics.
So, CONZZ_ARCHIVES was born of the many questions asked by Seidel & Assoc. clients regarding everything from "why the need to use professional services?" to "can we take donations online?" and beyond.
The newsletter is intended as a brief, once-monthly email newsletter featuring an informative article on one topic per issue. Since the articles continue to be of interest after publication, it seems appropriate to post them as HTML as well to allow continued access.
If you find that you have questions on a topic regarding issues surrounding Web site design, development, maintenance or structure, please feel free to send us an email with your request for an article or information. Below, you will find links to past issues listed chronologically by the article title.
