If you’ve ever tried to access a website designed for desktop browsers on a mobile device, you’ve probably noticed it’s often less than an ideal experience. First, of course, is load time – it can take a long time to load those media-rich pages. It also can cost you money if you’re on a limited data plan. And then there’s the pinching, zooming and scrolling. Despite manufacturer’s claims of full compatibility and the near-tablet sized screens of some of the latest models, it’s still a huge issue, right? Well, if you think it’s not worth it – imagine how your customers feel.
Gateway EDI had been wondering the same thing – so they came to us for help. Read more about the mobile site we designed for healthcare billing provider, Gateway EDI.

I use Facebook Ads. I love Facebook Ads. I even recommend Facebook Ads to others. But I do stumble across a lot of misconceptions about them. Whenever I see an article about advertising on Facebook, the comments that follow are usually something along the lines of, ‘If they start showing me ads, that’s it! I’m quitting!’ Why the hostility? Are Facebook Ads really that disruptive? Learn more about Facebook Ads, and how they know so much about you.

Picture this: You’re in a hotel, getting ready for a meeting. As you get up to leave, you grab your laptop, phone, bag and suitcase – and head out the door. You’re on your way before you realize your chargers are still plugged into the wall back at the hotel.
It’s a scenario that plays out in hundreds of hotel rooms, lounges, airports and homes every single day. Some companies’ solution to the problem has been to sell replacement chargers, but our client, LPS Technology had a better, far less wasteful approach.

As you know, Atomicdust is participating in AdSaint’s Holiday Agency crawl through Midtown Alley on Tuesday, December 20th.
The crawl is featuring eight different creative firms, all within a few blocks of each other. With all those agencies to visit, you’re probably worried you’ll miss one. Or you’ll get lost.
Not so.

The schedule is as follows:
5:30-6:30: happyMedium, Spoke
6:30-7:30: Mercury Labs, Back 2 Basics, Atomicdust
7:30-8:30: Scorch, RGG Photo, TOKY
Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday around 6:30pm. We’ll have plenty of beer, Gus’ pretzels and a warm fire, so stop on by.
