Tech discussion – Our guest John McGinn of McGinnCompany.com talks about what’s hot in web design:
John McGinn joins us in studio to talk about his area of expertise – professional web design. When asked what is hot in the web design world, John talks about WordPress and HDR photography.
Using WordPress as a web platform beyond blogging
Most people consider WordPress to only be for blogging, but John explains how this user friendly web service and design platform is useful for a myriad of website needs. We use if for our website, large corporations like UPS use it in their web work, and John has been building many of his clients sites on the WordPress platform. It’s easy to use, easy to edit and manage, and has the ability to look fantastic.
HDR Photography
HDR photography is a new way of capturing an image using multiple digital photos and compiling them all together to get an unique final image. John and Jordan explain how this is done and head over to one of John’s latest websites to see examples of HDR photography in use – like in this photo – and in this one.
Tech discussion – Jake asks: “where is my 3G?”:
