In 2004 Hang Wire Web Design agency started about the process of designing our now proprietary website content management system, Bossanova. We built the platform using PHP and MySQL. It took us over a year to build and served our clients well for many more. However, the work was never done. With each new client request we were continually adding functionality and new features. Bossanova still functions to this day on PHP 7.4. But over the years it became apparent that we were essentially trying to reinvent the wheel when an amazing wheel already existed—WordPress! It quickly became our content […]

When meeting a prospective client one of the first things I’m asked is how long Hang Wire has been in business? It’s a relevant question since tech companies are notorious for being short lived.

Creating a website design is the fun part. You get to be creative and let your ideas flow. However, it won’t be long before you realize you need your new website to actually do something, not just look pretty. More often than not, this leads to the inclusion of web forms. Forms – the inevitable, the unavoidable. Nobody likes creating them, and yet everybody needs them. This used to inspire a sense of dread, and then I discovered JotForm and their brand new web forms creation tool “Form Designer.” Suddenly web form creation is slick, easy, and actually quite creative.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘responsive design’ in reference to websites lately. It’s an extremely popular buzzword right now, but what does it really mean and why should you be concerned if your website doesn’t have it?
