Aqua Vita and Tilestone Distributors Launch New Website

It’s always a pleasure to announce a new website launch for our clients, but I’m particularly proud of this one: http://tilestonedistributors.com/

For starters, TileStone Distributors has, without a doubt, the most gorgeous showroom for custom tile I’ve ever seen, which gave us an excuse to put Josh’s sexy photography skills to use. We incorporated his shots in the animated slide shows we produced for the front page and the footer, as well as the custom product section and the order samples button in the sidebar.

Three Fast Email Marketing Tips

1) Clean up your list.
Some email marketing services don’t automatically remove bounces. Other times, people email you to unsubscribe instead of using the handy-dandy “unsubscribe” link in your emails (crazy, I know). Take the time to go in and make sure that your list is up-to-date. Remove any bounces or unsubscribed email addresses, and add or update any new email addresses.

Stan Lee – Design Inspiration

Listen, it’s not often that I play favorites. I have a ton of comic book creators that I look to for inspiration. I struggled long and hard trying to choose between titans like Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Steve Ditko, Jim Steranko and Bruce Timm.
