The Gmail interface that comes with Google Apps, on the other hand, uses Google-powered search technology, so you know it works.

You can perform very simple keyword searches, or customise your search for fine grained control (like below).

Use some of these tips to search for emails you’re looking for when you need them, rather than waste time sorting each email as it arrives!

Don’t know what Google Apps is? I’m glad you asked!

Consider: 1 in every 3 visitors to your website is trying to navigate, trying to read, trying to do something on a tiny screen. How does your site stack up?

In late 2010 we started using “responsive web design”, which in English means the same website displays differently on different sized screens. This allows us to reformat your website specifically for smaller devices, while still keeping traditional desktop-based designs for those on larger screens.

Given the numbers we’re now seeing, we’re now approaching every new website with a “mobile-first” strategy. Before we look at any desktop designs, we consider the mobile version of the website first.

We believe that’s the only sensible thing to do given the trend we’re seeing. Design for tomorrow, or yesterday?

Some US figures

Interestingly – we’re seeing higher percentages of mobile web traffic locally than in this graphic.

What do these all mean?

Offset or Litho

This is the process of setting up a printing press with the job – having a ‘plate’ or ‘negative’ made of each page and the printing is done either on continuous rolls of paper then trimmed, or large sheets and trimmed/finished to size.

Benefit to Offset/Litho Printing

The more you print, the cheaper the product becomes per unit The biggest cost is in producing the ‘plates’ and setting up the printer.  Once the press is set up, large quantities become cost effective.

Digital

Think of a photocopier on steroids. Computers run everything, so your design goes straight from the file to the digital press, no need for ‘plates’.  Quality of digital prints is determined by the age of the printer, the paper and the finish.

Benefits of Digital Printing

You can print one of anything – including booklets or business cards.  Ideal if you want smaller print runs or fast turnaround of something.  Digital printing also allows for personalisation of each individual unit printed.

Wide Format

Required for pretty much anything larger than A3 size.  Some Wide Format Printers are up to 3 metres wide, but more readily available at 1.2m wide, and the media (Paper, vinyl or banner) is on a roll, so very large prints can be achieved.  Generally a wide format printer is like a ‘ginormous’ inkjet printer.

Benefits of Wide Format Printing

Impact.  On a big scale these prints can be used on walls, floors, cars, or as posters.  Think big!

Screen Printing

A mesh screen is made as a negative and paint/ink is squeezed through the mesh onto the media (paper, stickers, fabric).  Each colour in the design requires a screen.

Benefits of Screen Printing

Probably the most effective on fabric especially T-Shirts.  Screen set-up is costly, so this is a great option if you are doing quantity.

Short Run

With offset/Litho Printing the cost savings occur when you order larger quantities – around 1500 or more.  Short Run Printing is offered only with digital printing, where as few as one or two prints can be done.

What Colour?

Spot Colour, Pantone, PMS, CMYK, RGB, Hex?

Spot Colour, Pantone and PMS – Offset and Litho only.  Specifically used for printing presses – the individual colour is supplied in a can, so colours can be perfectly matched. Also known as process colours. With these colours, each individual colour must be set up on the press and a separate plate is used for each colour.

CMYK – Digital and Wide Format.  C = Cyan, M = Magenta, Y = Yellow, K = Black.  All colours in digital and wide format are comprised of a combination of these colours.  Also called full colour printing.

RGB – Computer Screen.  R = Red, G = Green, B = Blue.  All colours in screen resolution are viewed as a combination of these colours.  Screen colours are not an accurate reflection due to the difference in colour rendering in each monitor.

Hex – Computer Screen.  Hex colours are used specifically when designing websites.  It is a colour value used in the programming of the site.
