Adam Abrams Design + Consulting

09/27/2024

Presenting (drum roll...) my newly revamped website for Adam Abrams Design + Consulting! I really pared things down to the essentials for a clean, up-to-date, clutter-free look and structure.

Attractive, effective web and print design that helps you achieve your goals.

After a year's hiatus, I will again be at Georgia and Granville street this coming Saturday, tin can in one hand, holiday songbook in the other, raising money for Vancouver R**e Relief and Women’s Shelter!

I'll be there from 10:30 to 3pm (though away for lunch around 1-1:30).

DAY: This Saturday, December 16
LOCATION: Georgia and Granville (probably in front of London Drugs but might be in front of The Bay)
TIME FRAME: From 10:30 to 3, approximately.

(Note: I’ll be at lunch from about 1-1:30.)

As always, songbooks (and a Santa hat or two) will be provided.

I hope to see you there!

I recently completed a website revamp for Build Great Teams. They provide premiere learning opportunities via webinars and seminars to enhance the productivity and success of corporate, educational, and mental health professionals. I rethought and redesigned their site so it really communicates what they offer - and makes it easier for both themselves and their clients to interact with it.

Exclusively to Facebook, here's a before-and-after comparison! Plus a couple more images of the new site. See it at www.buildgreatteams.ca .

Here's the latest in my series of occasional tips and tricks for Mac users! Today, why your emailed images may not arrive at the correct size... and what to do about it!

TIP: Here’s why your photo attachments in Apple Mail may be too small tech supportA client recently attempted to send me a large photo file – I’d requested something larger than the relatively small (320px wide) version she’d originally sent me. But when I opened her email with the new file,...

If you're looking for an online backup service, I can vouch for Backblaze - I've used them for a long time now and it's been a very good experience, at a very affordable price. I sleep better at night knowing I always have an up-to-date offline backup of everything!

Now they've got a deal going where you can get a free month, and if you use this link, I get a bonus month too! So, I'm putting it out there. Maybe give them a try!

Props to Whole Foods Market for their use of the word "whilst". Adds a touch of charm to any sentence!

SO many questions for Canada Safeway. Did the building code dictate what goes on these buttons in their shiny-new Davie Street store? Or was there some other reason why P2 is labeled P1, P1 has a star instead of a "P", and the destination level of the Safeway store itself is called.... Level 2? Why not an S?

(You can also tell that the transparent label material wasn't visible enough, so a second, white "SAFEWAY" sticker was added to the first!)

Whatever the reason, for a brand-new building, a surprising usability fail.
