Whether you have some other person or company design your website or do it yourself, it surely pays to be up with current and emerging website design trends.

This cool infographic looks at and illustrates some of those, including open design, where objects appear to be flying off the page, a "trippy and intriguing concept" as the article author says, together with assymetry and other trends.  

In an industry that thrives on innovation and creativity, it's no surprise that the web design trends that are sure to make an impact in 2017 both push boundaries and embrace clean simplicity....

This infographic explores seven trends that are sure to make a big impact in the web design world this year.

With this latest development, it appears that Twitter is still trying to figure out what a successful business model might look like.

I'm not excited about this, especially as I'm sceptical about how much you can increase engagement by way of promoted tweets: seems to be verging on being the antithesis of engagement, to me.  

But if it works for you or your company, at $99 a month, go for it!

Twitter has just launched a beta subscription service to a select group of members designed to increase engagement and revenue, both of which the company needs.
...
Subscribers will enjoy unlimited promoted tweets for a fixed monthly fee of $99. The beta, which is currently available by invitation only, automatically promotes all member tweets.

Saving the geekiest bite till last. 

The basic argument here, as far as I can see, is that when we share on Facebook content that we may have posted somewhere some time ago and we then don't like the way it looks, how it's described, and so on, we are not stuck with that forever, but can tidy/freshen it all up with the Facebook Sharing Debugger.

Control how your posts, articles, and social shares render the way you want them to; and, then, after the edits, you have the power to “resubmit” your new title, description, and featured image so that anyone who shares your content from then on will be able to see a rendering the way you want it.

A prerequisite is to become a Facebook Developer, which the author says is easily done. I might do that, just for fun. :)

Could my laser coaching service help your business, or that of someone you know?

Are you finding it a challenge to get really clear on a business or career opportunity?

That's not unusual.

Laser coaching is designed to help you get the resolution you need.

Laser coaching works on the principle that there is a truth in every situation, a truth that may not always be obvious. Laser coaching brings that truth to the surface and supports the process of facing it square on, and then deciding on appropriate action.

After a laser coaching session with me, business coach ​​​​​​​Marla Tabaka said this: 

In a single, thirty-minute conversation, Des redirected some concerns I had about my business model, introduced me to several valuable resources, and brought clarity to an issue that I’ve been struggling with for months. Yes, all of this in thirty-minutes!

If you are ready to get the clarity you need to be able to take decisive action, check out my laser coaching service at this link.
