Project management is about so much more than simply overseeing a project from A to Z.  It’s about planning, executing, controlling, communicating, etc.  It’s almost like playing Tetris where you need to fit all sorts of different elements together.

Web apps are just as useful as native software (often more, I find). Be it for browsing emails, organizing the day's to-do list, creating diagrams or brainstorming, free or subscription-based "web-apps" have replaced Microsoft Office and other similar productivity software we regularly use.

Many people don’t think of using checklists because they think that they’ll remember everything. While that may work well for some, it’s not a fool proof method, and leaves much room for error.

As 2013 starts off, it’s nice to look back at what was accomplished in the past year. And what a year 2012 was for Symetris! Here are the highlights for those of you who haven’t been taking notes ;)

Estimating the cost of web projects is an important part of the process. However, one doesn't necessarily know all of the details of a project in advance...

We regularly work with communications agencies and freelance designers as their web partners for their clients. This means we have to deal with two different parties whose goals are sometimes aligned, other times not.

I recently got my hands on a Kindle 3, the e-book reader from Amazon, and I love it.

We found that the social networking buttons we had originally implemented did not validate. I did some research and some implementations and here is what we concluded.

DrupalCamp Montreal was an interesting and technical two-day conference about Drupal, a popular content management system (CMS) software.

Viewing information from the internet on your iPhone or Blackberry (or any other smarphone) can create a bit of confusion about expectations, especially since mobile websites are a relatively "new" concept.

In a not too distant future, we will all be able to enjoy the internet with any font imaginable without impeding on the accessibility of the content.

Second edition of WordCamp Montreal and my first time at this event.
