To test out Google's new Consumer Surveys service, we decided to create a quick survey to gain insight on data that we felt we knew pretty well, to put the validity of the response data to the test, as well as test the features of the service. Learn more about Google Consumer Surveys and how they might be used in our first post, "Google Consumer Surveys, a Game Changer?".
Google has done it again, changing the accessibility of an age-old service and making it easy to use, full-featured and cost-effective. They recently launched a new product named Google Consumer Surveys.
This is undoubtedly old hat to most of you, but it's a discussion I have several times a month with current and prospective clients.
During a discussion, we invariably end up talking about the need to promote a website to the major search engines. Acronyms like SEO and PPC start cropping up, and these often require a cursory explanation. As such, this post is designed to provide a primer on the effort vs. results of each of these types of online marketing tactics.
The new business cards arrived today from our amazing friends at Unicom.

A quick primer on responsive design; a design is said to be "responsive" when it dynamically changes as a browser window is resized. In other words, the website looks one way on a desktop computer's monitor at full screen, and completely different on a smartphone. And yet, it's the same website.

As of January 1, 2012, Apis Design is now APIS interactive communications.
Along with a slight re-touch to our logo and a new website, we are growing the carefully nurtured services that we offer, and how we offer them. We remain focused on the web and all things "online", but we are broadening our services to include more traditional marketing and advertising. Interactive communications is the term we've chosen to describe this. If it can help you engage with your audience, APIS can help you with it.
We all remember some high school coach, be they real or a Hollywood incarnation, pumping up the team with a rousing speech ending with "Failure is not an option." Well I'm here to tell you that failure is indeed an option. In fact, it's the only mindset that will allow you to truly achieve something great.
