We have recently launched several new Koh Samui virtual tours with a slightly different format.

Rocky Resort Koh Samui Virtual Tour
This includes a flash interactive floor plan for the user to browse around the resort. Shots included all types of rooms, a wedding shot, bar, swimming pools, and the restaurant. You can check this 360 tour out by visiting the Rocky Resort website.

Samui Beach Village Virtual Tour
We photographed all villas at Samui Beach Village, which were available for holiday rentals. You can visit the villas by going to each individual page on the Samui Beach Village website.

You can check more of our virtual tours out in our 360 photography section including more koh samui virtual tours and 360 pamoramics in Phuket, Krabi, Koh Phanghan, Bangkok, Chang Mai and other locations in Thailand.

I have been experimenting with Balsamiq Mockup online free software following a recommendation from a friend ours whom also runs a web design company.

I usually sketch blueprints out on paper, which usually takes 5-15 minutes if I have a clear idea in my head for the website layout. The sketches are very rough and I often have to sit with a graphic designer to explain my sketch in further detail.

My first attempt at Balsamiq, it took me 40 minutes to come up with the layout below (which is for a live project). This is not too bad as I was getting familiar with the software and experimented with the layout a bit. Being able to easily move things round is far more effective than using pen and paper (I'd usually start again if I wanted to come up with a new design). Being able to drag and drop common website features onto a design should help both my productivity and the graphic designers understanding. 

I'm keen to try out the full unrestricted desktop software more and intend to get my hands on a desktop version into customer proofing and the design process.

Will the prospect of a global recession have an effect on Web Design and Search Engine Optimization companies?

Congressman Charles B. Rangel reportedly paid his son $57,500 for web design. Not surprisingly there has been much scrutiny over the amount he has paid out of campaign funds.

So do I think that $57,500 was a fare price? I don't know how much work went in to it as their is an infinite amount of work that could be done including search engine optimization (SEO), photographs, updates etc! However, this is a huge amount of money for a website, and it certainly wouldn't of cost that much for Glypt to do the website.

If you are looking to have a serious website built (rather than just a hobby site) choosing a web designer for your website is a very important decision. This list was compiled to help people understand the important factors in choosing a web designer for your project.
