Web designers Sharing Point

If you are a web designer or you know some person that runs a business related to Web design then my Blog "Web Designers Sharing Point" can be interesting.

Actually the main idea of that Blog is to start creating a community of professional designers interested in advertising their work and complement it with our experience with SharePoint and our own CMS.

We are looking for the sinergy between B4Contact's team and professionals of Web design. We have customers that need their work and we could add CMS functionality to their designs also improving their business. I think it is a win to win offer.

We are interested in supporting the open source community and we are willing to finance the creation of free CSS templates.

Like a sign of our interest in that community we are offering free hosting for the web site of the designers. Like that we presume that we can be saving some money to freelancers and professionals.

A tool for designers: conceptshare.com

Sharing information with cutomers is one of the most important issues for all kind of companies. Normally we use email to communicate with them. But that is not always good enough.
In the case of graphic designers, web designers, architects and many other professionals the problem is how to make the process more effective.
The attachments are many times a problem: you need to have some special program installed, or the file is to big for sending it on the email, etc.

They made a web tool called Kuler and its purpose is to help designers, developers and web masters to get color schemes. Yes... this is very important if you need to combine colors and that the whole thing will look good!
