There’s no doubt that the Q4 holiday shopping season is the busiest time of year for online store owners and ecommerce businesses. If your freelance business or agency works with these online merchants, the last few weeks have almost certainly been hectic and stressful.
Performing last minute site updates, troubleshooting broken add-ons to the merchant’s ecommerce platform and resolving bugs are all common occurrences. Maybe you were even woken in the middle of the night because a client’s site was hacked or you had to resolve a hosting error that knocked your client’s site offline.

Zarget, a full-service CRO tool, helps marketers drive email subscribers, guide users through the funnel, and get to know their website visitors. Using hard data can help you make vital decision about your website.
The point of every website is to bring in conversions, and the point of conversion optimization is to plug leaks in conversions. Strong optimization requires the use of different tools for different needs in order to bolster conversions, and oddly enough, that’s where traditional conversion optimization is lacking.
Traffic on a website can lose direction easily. A potential buyer can get distracted right before checkout if they have the option for coupons. If you showcase available offers instead and make them choose, it is more likely to yield in conversions. Another hurdle is intercepting users who wander aimlessly and get them on the path you intend. Funnel Analysis will help steer your traffic down the right path.
Zarget believes that conversion optimization should be as streamlined and intuitive as the results it promises. To that end, they offer multiple optimization modules in one software product, with full integration between them.
Track drop-off points with metrics like hesitation time, refocus points, and corrections made. Reducing the complexity of your signup form helps boost user signups — and eventually your business.
Smart design choices are no longer based on experienced assumptions. Boost your website conversion rates by letting CRO data decide your design elements. Try Zarget now!

Web apps are awesome, but many are not optimized for mobile, or are done so in ways that leaves much to be desired. These days, a poor mobile experience can quickly drive away users and kill engagement. While app users’ attention spans are shortening, they increasingly demand truly native mobile app experiences. Furthermore, across the globe, the concept of “mobile-first†has cemented its place as the de facto for startups and enterprises alike. Here we find a rapidly growing need to turn existing web apps into mobile apps and this creates unique challenges and opportunities for web designers and developers.
What if you could use your skills to easily turn web apps and APIs into truly native iOS and Android apps all right in your web browser?

Design software shouldn’t bring people a sense of struggle, yet that’s exactly how the troublesome design software we grew up on made us feel. With their incredibly steep learning curve and counter-intuitive tools, they would deter our potential as designers rather than helping us to unleash it. We’ve all been there, and the frustration of having your creativity constricted by bad software can be overwhelming.
At Vectr, they know design connects people – they’ve experienced it firsthand – and they believe everyone should experience the almost indescribable feeling that comes from expressing your creative freedom through art and design. This belief drives everything we do. Vectr is a free graphics editor used to create vector graphics easily and intuitively. It’s a simple yet powerful web and desktop cross-platform tool to bring your designs into reality.

You can Get notified when a DOM element enters or exits the viewport with in-view.js. It’s a small (~1.9kb gzipped), dependency-free, javascript utility for IE9+. With in-view, you can register handlers that are called when an element enters or exits the viewport. Each handler receives one element, the one entering or exiting the viewport, as its only argument. As a small caveat, in-view utilizes MutationObserver to check the visibility of registered elements after a DOM mutation. If that’s functionality you need in IE9-10, consider using a polyfill.
