Are there any web masterpieces?
My colleague and friend Miemo Penttinen gave a presentation about his experiences of his trip to South by Southwest (the nerd version, not the cool music one) and he was talking about Cennydd Bowles‘ presentation titled Beauty in Web Design. Mr. Bowles’ presentation touched on the subject on why the web isn’t beautiful and how [...]
Why content is so important?
This post in my web 101 series will be short, because this came up again in a workshop yesterday.. Most house-builders and constructors don’t really care about the sofa you had planned for your living room. They’re in the industry of building houses. True, too often we need to furnish our houses according to the [...]
Netcycler: First impressions
I got my invitation to Netcycler yesterday and had time to browse around last night. They describe themselves as: Netcycler is a swap and give away service for acquiring secondhand goods. We will soon add buy and sell options as well. When you no longer need something, the service will find someone who does. It’s [...]
Technology or Business?
After you’ve figured out that you really want and need a web site, you come to a very important crossroad. This fork has two different paths and usually people don’t even realize the existence of the other. Let’s go back a bit. Imagine you walk to an advertising agency to do a print campaign. Do [...]
How much to spend in a website?

Why you don’t need a community?
Have you heard the latest news about communities? They’re the shiznit! They solve all your problems. It is a scientific fact (in vitro) that most people would love to come to your website and create you content and comment everything on your site – positively of course! Yeaaahh. “If you build it, they will come” [...]
What should your website contain?

Why do you need a website?
Since working in helping people create websites for the last decade or so, I’ve noticed that there are many simple things people skip when they’re doing their planning. I work as a planner, and a planner is a person who looks at the client straight to the eyes and should tell them what they need [...]
Good Advertising – Makita Drill Ad
I’m going to start another series, that will be titled Good Advertising – which will naturally get stuck with any adblocker out there. If you’ve been reading this blog for any time, you’ll notice that I whine and moan quite a bit about advertising and the industry in general. This comes from the fact, that [...]
The Beckham Terminator
Ad agencies, brand building, ooh, aah. I’d like to see the effect on business this advertising campaign has. David Beckham rubbing himself with a phone that looks like a, um, I don’t know – a lady shaver? Still, it doesn’t tell anything about the product, its price, when it’s coming out, what does it do [...]
