Some contact forms can be confusing and frustrating for many people - which can lead to lost online sales.
If someone is semi-interested in your products or services or is a hesitant shopper; any inconvenience in contacting you can turn them away - sending them directly to your competitors.

1. Minimize cognitive load
Wow, quite a technical term huh?

Free Camouflage Patterns for Illustrator & Photoshop
Download this pack of military camouflage patterns to create infinitely repeating camo backgrounds for your designs. Each camouflage pattern is available in vector format so it can be used at any size imaginable, as well as a JPEG format for everyday use in Photoshop.
Most of the camo patterns I found on the web either didn’t repeat as a tileable pattern, or were just made of unrealistic blobs, so I decided to have a go at creating my own camo pattern files and share them with you all.

SEO tips, The good old way is of no use. The meta html tag. A concept from the past.
Introduction:
This page will give an introduction to the consept of the meta html-tag, the syntax, and a comment on why you should not use it. The idea behind the HTML-tag META is that the editor of a html document should be able to specify additional information that is relevant for the document. This information is meant for either the browser or search engine crawlers.
How it works:
The meta-tag is placed in between the <head></head> tags. Here are some examples of uses:
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Everything you need to know about making cool webpages.">
This tag would give a textual description what the webpage is about.
<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="chocolate, history of chocolate, brands, best prices">
This tag would give a hint about what keywords are relevant for the document.
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX">
This tag would give a message to a search engine crawler that you do not want the particular document included in a search engine.
