Three Trends in Website Design for Midsize Businesses
These three web design trends are just a few of those we’re seeing, but they are the ones that can make the biggest difference in a company’s online presence and, ultimately, their bottom line.
Because website development and design are always changing, one of the things we hear a lot at Cat on the Couch are questions that begin with “Does my website need…” Then comes the list: a shopping cart, a video section, a blog, a gaming component, a photo section, a calendar, more copy, less copy, more pictures, fewer pictures, mobile capability, tablet capability, social media, welcome pages, splash pages, independent sites that link to the main site—and it goes on and on.Read more

Moustache USA Website Goes Live
This week we wrapped up a new design for Moustache: Greenwich Tonsorial & Masters of Tattoo.
Moustache USA came to us back in July for some minor updates before quickly realizing it was time to do a complete overhaul.
In keeping with the work we’ve been doing for the past few years we created a custom theme for WordPress. This will allow the Moustache USA team to update the site whenever they want.
Below we’ve included some screenshots of our design process. You can see how the design evolved from Version 1 to the final design. Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments.

Here’s some of what’s new:

Remember, if you find something you think is a bug, report it! You can bring it up in the alpha/beta forum, you can email it to the wp-testers list, or if you’ve confirmed that other people are experiencing the same bug, you can report it on the WordPress Core Trac. (We recommend starting in the forum or on the mailing list.)
Theme and plugin authors, if you haven’t been following the 3.3 development cycle, please start now so that you can update your themes and plugins to be compatible with the newest version of WordPress.
