In this post, I would like to introduce you to something that I have been working on for the past several months, and which I have just launched over the last week or so. It's an exciting new app that makes developing and deploying surveys on your website a breeze.

Texture Freebie: This is the second texture pack I've released in the past four days, and may very well be the highest quality pack ever released here. Each texture was individually created by bringing together different source images in interesting and creative ways. Enjoy!

Freebie: In celebration of Christmas and the entire holiday season, I've put together this set of candy cane seamless vector patterns. These patterns are available in both AI and PNG format, and are completely free for you to use in your designs! I hope you enjoy these!

Here's a neat little bit of jQuery goodness that I've created recently, and which I have elected to make available as a code freebie here on the blog. Entitled WhatThis?, it allows you to create simple information buttons to accompany selected elements in your site or application. It's small, lightweight and oh-so-useful.

Texture Freebie: Another free Texture Pack for you to use in your designs. In the spirit of the current wintery season here in Canada, I've put together a pack of 7 snowy textures! Let it snow! At least in your designs. Enjoy.

In this article, I would like to share a recent experience that I had in working with one of by great clients. Through that story, I hope to introduce a concept that I am calling the Rule of Conversion, which is a way of thinking that I believe can be truly valuable. I know it will be for me on future projects!

If you work in print—or even if you're thinking about working in print—one thing that will always be an important consideration is fonts. Strange things can happen with text as it goes through the printing process. In this article, I would like to pull from my own experience to offer a few suggestion about how we can help minimize some of these issues.

In this article, I want to share 10 more awesome online resources that I use to make my work as a designer and developer faster and easier. These range CSS generators, to typographical tools, to code validators. All are useful in their own ways, so be sure to check them out.

In this article, we will take a brief look at the concept of semantics and the Semantic Web, and then turn to one little, often overlooked but extremely useful little HTML attribute that can really help make your web forms more semantic (assuming you're not using it already).

In this post, I will be sharing a technique that I started using to help teach other people how to program and code, and which I still use from time to time in my own work. Basically, we will be looking at how to manually resolve a series of nested functions (or chained methods), and some of the benefits of using such a technique.

I’m going to start with a simple statement: design should be messy. When I say this, however, I am referring to the process, not the final result. That should not be messy at all, but rather very carefully and meticulously crafted, with everything in its proper place. But when it comes to all the thought [...]

Last week I released a jQuery plugin that I called Contained Sticky Scroll, which you can see working on the sidebar of this blog. In this tutorial, I will be going through the code of that plugin and explaining how to write the plugin entirely from scratch!

Yes, I'll admit that I've started playing Angry Birds, and that it has chewed up many hours over the past several weeks. In this post, I would like to look at one simple truth that I think Angry Birds can remind us about when it comes to designing for a digital landscape that is including an increasingly broad range of devices.

It’s time for another awesome giveaway here on the Echo Enduring Blog. This time, I’m bringing you the chance to win 1 of 3 licenses for the awesome Billings 3 app for Mac. If you're a freelancer or small business owner who struggles with time tracking and invoicing, you need to get in on this one!

Freebie: I'm releasing my first ever jQuery plugin, which I am calling Contained Sticky Scroll. It basically allows you to create an element that will "stick" to the top of the window as the user scrolls, but which will not move outside of its parent element.
