Sharing Our Thoughts on All Things Digital

Evolving Web is proud to announce that it's giving out a scholarship for our 5 Day Drupal 8 Training in Toronto in October. Everyone is welcome to apply.

When you're building a site, it's standard to set up "pretty URLs". For example, we'd rather see /catalog/accessories than /taxonomy/term/18 and we'd rather see /about-us than /node/19. With Drupal, we use the Pathauto module to configure these types of standard content paths. But in some cases, there's no option to create a nice URL pattern, so we end up seeing those URLs.

My name is Ami Koga. A couple weeks ago, I started my summer internship at Evolving Web. I had no idea about Drupal before starting at Evolving Web. I did a bit of research on it beforehand; and the internet gave me some basic information.

After many years of development, Bootstrap had an official 4.0 release on January 18th, 2018. Bootstrap has been a popular front-end framework for several years and the release of the new version is really exciting! This post outlines a few of the differences between Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 4.

While working on a project with Acquia Dev Desktop (ADD), we needed to run a specific version of PHP which is not included with ADD by default. We started hacking ADD and came up with our own solution.

We're excited to launch our new Bootstrap 4 course this March in Montreal! Bootstrap is a popular front-end framework that provides a base of CSS and JS for your website's look and feel. It makes it easy to create responsive layouts and grids. It also has components you can use to build out responsive navigation, forms, modals, tool tips, buttons, and other common website elements. It's often used as a starting point for Drupal and WordPress themes. 

Evolving Web hosted another session of Evolve UX, our monthly UX Meetup for members of Montreal's user experience design community. As usual, we had a strong and enthusiastic turnout from people who wanted to both discover and showcase new projects. Hosted at the Evolving Web office, our Meetups provide a venue for designers and other digital folk to present and gather feedback on their latest projects.

So you have an idea. You want to build something because you think it will make some money. You make a business case. You develop specs. You get your design and dev team on board. You build it, and then you market the heck out if it.   

Your idea does all right. Your marketing spend gives you some traction. People use it for a while, but they don't seem to love it. Users start to leave for a competitor. You built a good product that functioned well. What happened?  

You designed a product. Not an experience.
