Is Responsive Design the Right Choice for Enterprise E-Commerce Retailers?
Many enterprise website owners are currently evaluating responsive web design as a way to consolidate their multi-screen web strategy. For these businesses, going responsive makes a lot of sense.

However, many e-commerce companies are still skeptical of responsive design as a solution to the multi-screen problem. They are concerned with how responsive design will affect the customer experience and overall website metrics.
About Sitemaps - Webmaster Tools Help
What is a sitemap? A sitemap is a file where you can list the web pages of your site to tell Google and other search engines about the organization of your site content.

Also, your sitemap can provide valuable metadata associated with the pages you list in that sitemap: Metadata is information about a webpage, such as when the page was last updated, how often the page is changed, and the importance of the page relative to other URLs in the site.

InDesign Templates
Until InDesign CS4, Adobe shipped a number of templates with InDesign. However, when CS5 shipped, those templates mysteriously disappeared. After a year of legal wrangling with Adobe, we have obtained permission to distribute those templates here, at InDesignSecrets.com. Please note: These templates are saved in the CS4 format, so you can open them in InDesign CS4 and later.We’re distributing the templates “as is” and subject to Adobe’s own licensing agreements (see below).These are templates, which means you may create pretty much any InDesign documents you want based on them. But it also means that they’re just starting points.
