  • The Designer’s List of Ad Formats

    Posted on September 10th, 2008; at 6:21 pm, in Info

    Designers generally hate ads on the sites they design, most often because they either look like crap, or mess up the design. One way to minimize the damage is of course to get the ad spots in the design right away, instead of forcing them in and breaking the flow and feel at a later date. That is pretty common when doing design work for clients, since the client rarely wants to pay you to update the design to fit a few more ad spots, or might not even see the issue they are causing with the overall look and feel.

    Let’s face it, ads are here to stay, so make sure you get them into the design at an early stage, and if you’re starting a new site yourself, make sure you choose the right ad formats. And by format I mean size, as in width*height, not file format.

    This is the designer’s list of ad formats, complete with dummy ads in the right sizes to easily include in your mockups and designs. They are free to use, of course, and you can put them in the designs you send to a client and everything. We do ask, however, that if you would like to share them with your readers, friends, or whatever, just refer them back here, OK? Thanks!

  • dotCMS Professional Open Source CMS

    Posted on September 10th, 2008; at 6:11 pm, in CMS

    dotCMS Core is the most feature complete open source web CMS available today. Available under the GPL, you can freely download the dotCMS system and get up, running and managing web sites and web content in a matter of minutes. Unlike many other “open source” cms, dotCMS is in no way crippled. When you download the dotCMS system, you are getting all of the functions and features needed to begin creating customized, manageable and scalable web sites. This includes so called “advanced” features such as LDAP/AD integration, clustering support, online templating, Web2.0 Calendaring and the structured content engine.

    If you are looking to get a head start in getting your new web sites off the ground, they offer accelerators – starter sites – that combine the power and flexibility of the dotCMS system with cutting edge information architecture, compliant HTML and pre-build functions. These accelerators are designed to be easy to customize and brand with unique graphical design.
