I'm a web/graphic designer hailing from Park City, Utah. Officially trained as a graphic designer, I quickly transitioned to the web after school, and have been riding the learning curve ever since.

Small Business Research & Development

Small Business Research & Development

By Bryan Hoffman on December 29, 2009

R&D for small business The term ‘R&D’ is usually heard in context of big industrial corporations and the pharmaceutical industry. It also brings to mind big budgets, big spending, big dollars, big big big.

Dropping MobileMe

Dropping MobileMe

By Bryan Hoffman on December 20, 2009

Is there life after MobileMe? About a month ago I received an email from Apple informing me that my MobileMe subscription was coming up for renewal. I’ve loved the services that MobileMe provides since signing up over a year ago, and had planned on keeping it going. But with the holidays coming up I decided to [...]

Gravity Forms vs Every Other Form Plugin

Gravity Forms vs Every Other Form Plugin

By Bryan Hoffman on November 6, 2009

If you have a website, it’s virtually a given that you have a contact page with a form on it for collecting messages from your users. Pretty much everyone does. Which is why if you run a query for “forms” in the Wordpress plugin directory, you’ll be overwhelmed with hundreds of results. Some of the [...]

iChat: Multiple Accounts, One Contact List

iChat: Multiple Accounts, One Contact List

By Bryan Hoffman on September 24, 2009

Chax comes to Snow Leopard A while back I came across Chax, a great little add on for iChat that, among other things, allowed me to consolidate my AIM and Google Talk accounts into a single contact window. It’s never made sense to have separate lists for each account, so this little gem made iChat more [...]

Why we don't do Flash

Why we don’t do Flash

By Bryan Hoffman on September 8, 2009

In the early days of Spigot Design, Flash based websites were all the rage. We’ve long since learned new tricks, and as a result have pretty much dropped Flash based work all together. Not a lot has been written on why we’ve given it up, so perhaps it’s time (although here’s an early tidbit [...]

Chamber of Commerce Email List Update

Chamber of Commerce Email List Update

By Bryan Hoffman on August 26, 2009

Just a quick update on the Park City Chamber email list article from back in May. The plan was to take the 1200 or so contacts from the Chamber list and send one last unsolicited message requiring each recipient to explicitly subscribe if they wished to continue receiving the newsletter.

Fresh Foundation for Spigot

By Bryan Hoffman on August 25, 2009

As a professional web designer, it comes with the territory that one’s own site is rebuilt on a fairly routine basis. So lately I’ve been spending my nights and weekend work hours rebuilding spigotdesign.com. The focus this time was not the design, but rather the foundation on which it’s built.

Wordpress 2.8 Upgrade Error

By Bryan Hoffman on June 11, 2009

This morning I was pleased to find that a new version of Wordpress (2.8) was out and it was time to upgrade. One of the nice things about WP is the automatic upgrade option, which basically means you backup your site, click upgrade, and you’re done. Well it didn’t go quite that smooth this time, and [...]
