What we’ve been up to lately

Here’s what’s been going on at Livewire in the last few weeks – because, well, why not? It’s a blog ,isn’t it?

Finishing up the LDM iphone app – which has been a big project that has presented us with some unique challenges. The Android version is likely to come out even before the iphone one simply because IOS has some, shall we say, uniqueness to it that makes hooking all 3 systems together a problem.

We’ve taken on some new clients including a really fun website from a English transplant to Gainesville who has ties to the Civil War. The website follows the story of a Thomas Jackson and is really unique. We’re so glad we have a chance to work on a project like this.

Started a new redesign with an Alachua company –  a large website rebuild

Started a website for Budding Biologist – a local company that creates science materials for children. This site will be a lot of fun. It’s been a long time since we’ve done anything related to children or learning.

We’re finishing up the Flour Pot Bakery’s website. Very nice design that we’re quite proud of.

Creating a web app for a food truck service – can’t spill the beans on our blog here but it’s going to be quite useful to a large target market. We’re building this app with a couple of associates over at PWH Tech.

TNT Graphics will be getting a new shirt designing software program. They just need our help installing and configuring a third party solution – we’d love the opportunity to build one of our own but the market is pretty saturated and we just don’t have that kind of time.

We have about a dozen other projects going on at this time – PHEW!, it’s been a busy, busy summer.

Preloading Images with Jquery

There are times when preloading images is an important step in keeping your site/page/program running smoothly. This is especially true in the era of mobile. Here’s a cute little snippet that does just that. function preload(yourarrayOfImages) { $(yourarrayOfImages).each(function(){ $(‘<img/>’)[0].src = this; }); } preload([ ‘img/image1.jpg’, ‘img/image2.jpg’, ‘img/image3.jpg’ ]);

Review: Total Cache WordPress Plugin ★★★★

An easy plugin for WordPress that does all your caching for you automatically. What is caching? A cache essentially takes a screenshot of your page and keeps it in local memory. When that page is called (by a user visiting it) then it is called up from the

How Important Is Site Speed?

It is difficult to overstate the significance of a website’s page load time. Users expect websites to load quickly and efficiently in today’s fast-paced digital environment. A slow-loading website can result in frustration and a negative user experience, causing users to leave the site and possibly never return.

The Importance of a Professional Website for Gainesville Businesses

Gainesville is a vibrant community known for its strong local economy, driven by a mix of education, healthcare, and a growing number of small businesses.

Woocommerce Products Per Page

Interestingly Woocommerce does not seem to have a default setting for ‘products per page’. Unsurprisingly, there’s a simple workaround. Add to your functions.php Replace “28” with whatever number you want. add_filter( ‘loop_shop_per_page’, create_function( ‘$cols’, ‘return 28;’ ), 20 );
