Is jQuery the new flash?

Friday, November 28th, 2008


One of the recent cool trends in webdesign is the javascript library jQuery. It is accessible to everyone and makes it easy to create nice interactions that previously required strong flash skills. But since jQuery is so open and accessible we are witnessing an explosion of very innovative solutions for enhancing the experience on the web. Look here for examples.

Using website statistics

google analytics

Watching website statistics can be fascinating. When making websites quality statistics can be really valuable for optimizing the site’s attraction with a target audience. Most web hosts offer built-in statistics, but they lack the detail found in tools like Google Analytics. Another great thing is that Google Analytics does not count spam traffic, so you get a very realistic picture of your visitors. When we compare our webhost’s statistics with our Google Analytics account we find that there is a huge difference – our webhost says eight times more traffic than Google.. Maybe other webhosts are better than ours but it is certainly difficult to compete with Google’s impressive and free service. And if you are reluctant using google services there are plenty of other alternatives out there.
