At Design Magic, we don’t believe in templates or packages.
Every person, every business is different. Specific requirements should be tailored to, not compromised.
We have worked on websites ranging from simple single page business card sites to complex video blogs and bespoke online document archives.
If you are looking to get online or simply re-design your existing presence, get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
Google+ invites have been flying around recently and the project’s technical lead, Google engineer Joseph Smarr has been responding to an online Q&A session about the service — and he has already shared a number of details about Google+’s development, technology, and plans for the future.
An insight into some of the cutting edge technologies used to create Google+
“A couple nifty tricks we do: we use the HTML5 History API to maintain pretty-looking URLs even though it’s an AJAX app (falling back on hash-fragments for older browsers); and we often render our Closure templates server-side so the page renders before any JavaScript is loaded, then the JavaScript finds the right DOM nodes and hooks up event handlers, etc. to make it responsive.”
But Google aren’t going to rest on their laurels…
“…Personally I’m eager for many of the features other Google+ users have asked for recently: smarter ranking/collapsing/filtering in the stream and notifications… integration with more Google products… and an API so I can start hacking on cool uses of circles, etc.”
Google+ API….
“You can sign up at https://services.google.com/fb/forms/plusdevelopers/ to learn more as soon as we’re ready.”
What’s the ultimate vision for Google+?
“We’d like to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software. We want to make Google better by including you, your relationships, and your interests. We think we can make sharing better and make Google more social (and useful) in the process.”
So there we have it!
