Reacher

Reacher is a real-time email verification API that lets you check the validity of an address before you send the email. Reduce bounce rates in an instant. (The personal version is free.)

Swell

No Code Founders 2.0

How to Pick More Beautiful Colors for Your Data Visualizations

Beautiful color choices will make your data visualizations that much more impactful. This tutorial by Lisa Charlotte Rost will help you make better color choices on the way to better infographics and charts. Plus, it’s well developed, designed, and packed with useful information.

IconPark

IconPark is a collection of more than 1,200 high-quality icons with an interface that allows you to customize them. It uses a single SVG source file that can be transformed into multiple themes. The library includes cross-platform components and is free to use.

Mono Icons

Exciting New Tools for Designers, September 2020

,

It’s fun to see new website design tools that reflect current times and the state of the world. That’s very true this month with new databases devoted to diversity and women in technology, as well and resources to make your design life easier.

Here’s what’s new for designers and developers this month:

Ztext.js

Ztext.js is an easy to implement, three-dimensional typography tool for the web that works with any font you want to use. With the popularity of 3D effects and animation, this tool has a lot of practical applications. Everything you need, including documentation, is available from developer Bennett Feely on his website and GitHub. (It’s free but you can show appreciation with a donation if you like it.)

Gradient Magic

Gradient Magic is a free gallery of fun and interesting CSS gradients. You can sort through a random selection or by category of color to find just the right gradient for your project. Some of them would make really neat backgrounds or image overlays.

Impossible Checkbox

Impossible Checkbox is a fun little divot that you’ll want to play with and emulate. Click or tap the slider to activate and a nifty little friend pops up. Now here’s the fun part: You can’t leave it checked, and take note of the changing expression of the checkbox character.

Diversify Tech

Diversify Tech isn’t your average job board; it is a collection of resources – and opportunities – for underrepresented people in technology. It includes a weekly roundup and everything from scholarships, to events, to jobs, to speaking opportunities.

Women in Tech

Women in Tech is a list of apps made by women. The apps are ranked and chosen based on upvotes and is a good resource if you want to help support women-owned projects. Search or submit an app for inclusion.

Devello Studio

Devello Studio is a tool that allows you to write code in the cloud. You don’t have to install anything and no matter where you are, just can open a project in-browser, and continue development where you had left off last time. Plus, it works with GitHub support built right in.

Hustl

Hustl is a premium Mac app that allows you to create time-lapse videos of your screen. Use it to show off work or projects or create a cool video for your portfolio. Plus you can use it to capture just one active app so you don’t have to do a lot of editing later.

FeedBaxley

FeedBaxley is a user feedback tool that helps you (and users) figure out what’s frustrating before it becomes a real issue. You can customize everything to match your brand and set it up with copy and paste tools. Feedback integrates with Slack, making it easy for you to analyze information with a team.

BestTime

BestTime launched a major update with a new tool that makes it possible to analyze visitor peaks of public business (cafe, gym, etc) for whole areas. Using the heatmap API you can find businesses at popular times, locations, or by business type.

Pixeltrue

Pixeltrue is a new collection of free SVG illustrations and Lottie animations in a trendy style. They are available for commercial and personal use and add a bit of whimsical delight to website projects. (The error illustrations are particularly fun.)

Previewed

Previewed has tons of cool and realistic mockups that you can use to create the perfect setting for digital projects. You can find mockups for a variety of devices and cool panoramas that work perfectly for elements such as app store previews.

Alt Text Overlay Bookmarklet

The Alt Text Overlay Bookmarklet solves a common problem: It shows what images use alt text and what that text is. The tool was created by Christian Heilmann and he’s put it on GitHub for you to play with and test.

MergeURL

MergeURL allows you to merge and shorten up to five links. Enter the links and mergeurl.com/o/xxxxx, for example, will open all the URLs associated with that link. The tool is free to use and you don’t have to register to use the service.

Infinity Search

Infinity Search is a new search engine that lets you look for things privately and efficiently. Search the web, images, or videos. Here’s a little about how it works: “While we retrieve results from other search engines like Bing and Wikipedia, we also have our own indexes of links that are displayed in our search results. We are actively working on improving these indexes and they will only get better.”

Blade UI Kit

Blade UI Kit is a set of renderless components to use in Laravel Blade Views. It’s built for the tall stack and is completely open source. It includes 26 components and you can contribute as well.

Trusted News

Trusted News is a Google Chrome extension that uses AI to assist in evaluating the quality of the online content. In its first release, it scores the objectivity for a selected article, testing whether it is written from a neutral perspective as opposed to a subjective one.

BaseDash

BaseDash allows you to edit production data without coding. You can make changes to the database with the ease of a spreadsheet. This tool makes it easy to find and edit information in a hurry. It works with all major databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Amazon Redshirt, Microsoft SQL Server, and more.

Email2Go

Email2Go is a service that helps you create email templates and test them on dozens of physical devices and applications. It’s free right now while it is in early release.

Brimington

Brimington is a handwriting style typeface with rough strokes and smooth curves. It includes a set of 227 characters and 219 glyphs in a readable design.

California Signature

California Signature is a typeface duo with a slab serif and handwriting style that are perfectly paired. The thick and thin options provide a yin and yang effect.

Trois façons dont la technologie peut sauver le retail

, ,

À moins que vous ne vendiez des survêtements, qui se sont vendus 80 % plus vite en avril qu’en février de cette année, la plupart des détaillants de mode sont confrontés à un printemps et un été difficiles.

J.C. Penney est la dernière victime parmi les géants de la vente au détail, rejoignant Neiman Marcus, Macy’s et d’autres qui ont déposé leur bilan. Pendant ce temps, les ventes au détail d’avril aux États-Unis ont chuté de 17,8 % par rapport à 2019.

Les magasins dans certaines régions des États-Unis rouvrent, mais pas complètement. Le nombre de clients autorisés à l’intérieur des magasins pourrait être limité, et de nombreuses personnes continueront à se tenir à l’écart des commerces non essentiels.

Pour survivre aux retombées financières, les retailers doivent trouver de nouveaux moyens de rester virtuellement proches des clients.

Ici, deux fondateurs de start-up et un expert de SAP décrivent comment la technologie peut aider les détaillants à survivre et à se rétablir – tout en gardant leurs marques et le suivi de leurs clients intacts.

 

La réalité augmentée fait entrer le magasin chez vous

Ashley Crowder, co-fondatrice et directrice de Vntana, pense que les solutions de 3D et de réalité augmentée (RA) comme celles développées par son entreprise peuvent augmenter les taux de conversion pour les achats en ligne.

« Vntana permet de prendre facilement des fichiers de conception de fabrication existants et de créer immédiatement des expériences 3D et de RA qui ont prouvé qu’elles pouvaient plus que doubler les taux de conversion et réduire les retours de 40 % », a-t-elle déclaré.

Vntana travaille avec des clients comme Shah Jewelry pour créer des versions virtuelles de produits qui permettent aux clients d’ »essayer » les articles à la maison. Même avant la pandémie, Vntana a constaté une augmentation du taux de conversion des navigateurs en acheteurs parmi les entreprises qui offrent des expériences 3D à leurs clients. Par exemple, selon M. Crowder, Ikea a connu une augmentation de 30 % de ses revenus lorsque les consommateurs pouvaient placer virtuellement des produits dans leur maison.

Crowder pense que la technologie de Réalité Augmentée (RA) et de réalité virtuelle (RV) est là pour rester : « Artillery Intelligence, une publication de recherche sur la RA et la RV, a réalisé une étude de consommateurs qui a révélé que 45 % des consommateurs veulent essayer les achats en RA/RV. Trente pour cent ont déclaré que si cela pouvait leur fournir suffisamment d’informations pour prendre une décision d’achat, ils ne voudraient plus jamais aller dans un magasin de détail. Les gens veulent donc ce contenu et ils veulent cette option ».

Elle s’attend à ce que l’adoption s’accélère en raison de la crise du coronavirus et souligne que les entreprises qui agissent rapidement maintenant seront mieux positionnées pour survivre et se développer à l’avenir.

 

Le commerce électronique hyperlocal dynamise le retail physique

Sandeep Bhanote a cofondé Radius8, une start-up qui améliore les interactions des acheteurs en ligne en leur proposant des expériences hyperlocales et personnalisées. Comme Crowder, Bhanote participe au programme d’accélération de SAP.iO Foundries à New York, qui soutient actuellement une cohorte d’entreprises axées sur l’expérience client.

Radius8 résout ce défi. Le commerce électronique est le même, quel que soit l’endroit où se trouvent les consommateurs, ce qui peut se traduire par des expériences médiocres pour les acheteurs en ligne, en particulier si le détaillant possède de nombreux magasins dans tout le pays.

« Notre technologie prend la localisation du consommateur et détermine sa proximité avec n’importe lequel de ces magasins au sein de la chaîne de vente au détail et modifie dynamiquement l’expérience du commerce électronique pour refléter l’endroit où il se trouve », a expliqué M. Bhanote.

 

  1. Bhanote pense que l’unification de l’expérience numérique et physique des magasins propulsera la vente au détail à un niveau supérieur.

Grâce aux données géospatiales, Radius8 offre aux consommateurs une meilleure expérience en ligne tout en stimulant les ventes en magasin en amenant les gens à se rendre dans des magasins spécifiques. M. Bhanote explique que le point central de l’intégration entre les magasins virtuels et physiques s’est limité à la compréhension de l’inventaire.

« Mais la réalité est que tous ces magasins physiques ont toutes ces choses merveilleuses qui se produisent et qui ne sont presque jamais communiquées numériquement – même pas dans le rayon de ce magasin physique », dit-il.

 

  1. Bhanote a ajouté que les clients – dont adidas, Lucky Brand, Snipes USA, Orvis et Eddie Bauer – utilisent déjà Radius8 pour créer de superbes expériences sur des sites virtuels et physiques.

 

L’entreprise intelligente offre des expériences uniques et de l’agilité

Matt Laukaitis, vice-président exécutif et directeur général mondial des industries de consommation chez SAP, estime que le maintien de l’intimité avec le client est primordial pour les détaillants.

« C’est la capacité à continuer à renforcer ce lien avec les consommateurs », a-t-il déclaré. « Nous voyons beaucoup d’innovations de la part de marques, grandes et petites, où les gens font des choses créatives avec des stylistes personnels virtuels et des sessions individuelles de vidéo-shopping pour donner aux clients une expérience unique ».

Qu’il s’agisse d’une expérience en ligne ou traditionnelle, les gagnants du futur maintiendront la cohérence de la marque tout en augmentant la pertinence et la fidélité des clients. « C’est ce qui va leur permettre de réussir leur réouverture de magasins », a déclaré M. Laukaitis.

L’agilité des détaillants pour répondre à la pandémie les rendra plus ou moins efficaces. « Les entreprises qui pourront le mieux naviguer dans la crise sont celles qui peuvent être créatives et agiles dans l’environnement actuel », a-t-il déclaré.

Les entreprises qui ont déjà adopté la transformation numérique et investi dans une infrastructure d’entreprise intelligente auront une longueur d’avance sur leurs concurrents. Elles disposent de la rapidité, de la simplicité et de la flexibilité nécessaires pour adapter leurs modèles d’entreprise tout en répondant aux attentes des consommateurs.

Une chose est sûre : le commerce électronique se développe rapidement. Le taux de croissance récent des recettes du commerce électronique aux États-Unis a atteint près de 80 % d’une année sur l’autre.  Et la crise a accéléré le besoin des gens de vivre de meilleures expériences numériques.

Les nouvelles technologies comme la RA et le géospatial, combinées à un noyau numérique solide et aux technologies traditionnelles de l’expérience client, permettront aux détaillants de pivoter rapidement et de conserver leurs clients.

20 Freshest Web Designs, August 2020

,

In this month’s collection of the freshest web designs from the last four weeks the dominant trend is attention to detail.

You’ll find plenty of animation, in fact, almost every one of these sites uses animation to a greater or lesser degree. Let’s dive in:

Globekit

Globekit is a tool that allows developers to quickly create animated and interactive globes and embed them on web pages. Its site features some exceptional 3D animation.

Yolélé

Yolélé is food company built around fonio, a West African super grain. Its site features a great page transition, and the landing page carousel is one of the few examples of horizontal scrolling we’ve seen work well.

Begonia

Begonia is a Taiwanese design agency with an impressive client list. Its site features animated typography, a super bold splash screen, and some surreal artwork. There’s so much here, it’s almost overwhelming.

Next Big Thing

Next Big Thing is an agency supporting the full lifecycle of start-ups. Its site is clearly targeting tech-based clients, and there are some lovely transitions. The masked hero transition on scroll is delightful.

Proper

We all have every reason for the odd sleepless night right now, but regular sleep is essential for our health. Proper offers sleep solutions from coaching to supplements on its subtly shaded site.

The Oyster & Fish House

The site for The Oyster & Fish House is packed with some delightful details. We love the subtle wave textures, the photography has a nostalgic feel, and the typography is perfectly sophisticated.

Drink Sustainably

Fat Tire produces America’s first certified carbon neutral beer, and Drink Sustainably has been produced to explain the concept. We love the vintage advertising style of the artwork.

Treaty

It seems like every week there’s a new CBD brand launching. What we like about Treaty’s site is the slick fullscreen video, the inclusion of botanical illustrations, and the really brave use of whitespace.

Studio Louise

You’re greeted on Studio Louise’s site by a shot of trees with two random shapes; as you scroll the shapes morph and relocate to the top right corner, and you suddenly realize they’re an “S” and an “L”, cue: smiles.

Wünder

Another site for a CBD product, this time a vibrantly branded sparkling beverage. Wünder’s site features enticing photography, an on-trend color palette, and credible typography.

Seal + Co

Some professions lend themselves to exciting, aspirational sites, and some companies are accountancy firms. However Seal + Co’s site creates the impression of a modern, capable, and imaginative firm.

DocSpo

There is some lovely, 3D animation on the DocSpo site. The company is a Swedish startup enabling digital business proposals, and its site is bold, Appleesque, and packed with nice details.

Motley

We never get tired of particle effects, like the one employed by Finland-based agency Motley. There’s some superb work in the portfolio, and it’s great to see a blog using Old Master paintings for thumbnails.

The Ornamental

The Ornamental sources leather goods for wealthy individuals, and luxury lifestyle firms. Its site is minimal, with some drool-worthy handbags. We particularly liked the image zoom hover effect in the store.

G.F Smith

G.F Smith is one of the world’s leading paper suppliers. Its redesigned site is much simpler than its last, with some lovely touches, like the varied paper photography when you hover over product thumbnails.

Raters

Raters is a new app that lets you discover new movies via reviews from people you trust. This simple site does an exceptional job of previewing the app, across multiple device sizes.

Fleava

There’s a whole heap of nice interactive details on Fleava’s site, from the cursor-following circles when hovering over links, to the way the thumbnails are squeezed when dragging through projects.

The Story of Babushka

A babushka doll is a traditional Russian toy, made up of dolls, nested inside dolls. The Story of Babushka uses the toy as a metaphor for growth in this children’s book, and the accompanying animated website.

Grand Matter

After the uniformity of the 2010s, there are a wealth of illustration styles being explored across the web. Grand Matter is an artist agency that represents some amazing talent, and we love the illustration they chose themselves.

Nathan Young

Nathan Young’s site does exactly what it needs to do: Providing case studies for his design work. The fade-out on scroll is a simple device that elevates the whole site experience.

Exciting New Tools for Designers, August 2020

,

Lemon.io

Lemon.io is a tool that matches you with freelance developers to get projects moving more quickly. You are guaranteed a match in 24 hours and there is no risk if the match doesn’t work out.

3D Book Image Generator

Here’s another little bit of CSS magic with a 3D Book Image Generator. Just input your image and set some specifications and get a 3D book cover image that you can use in projects. (There’s also an accompanying tutorial if you want to learn how to generate the CSS on your own.)

Previewed

Previewed is a mockup generator to create beautiful promotional graphics for your app. Browse a variety of templates, pick one, customize, and download your design to show off.

NSFW Filter

ColorFlick for Dribbble is another browser extension that makes it easy to copy hex codes from the tool to your clipboard with ease. You can also create palettes you can share from your favorite shots using Coolors.

Tabler Icons

Tabler Icons is a collection of more than 550 SVG icons that you can customize. Change the color, size, or stroke width with on-screen controls and then click to copy the icons you want to use. It’s that simple!

Teenyicons

Basicons

Basicons is a set of simple icons for product design and development. Plus, they are updated weekly.

Chozy Mermaid

Chozy Mermaid is a super funky novelty typeface to close out summer. The characters feature beach themes within slab characters. It might be hard to find an application for this one, but it is too fun not to share.

Dotuku

Margin

Margin is a fun retro style typeface with a 1970s vibe. It’s a “chubby serif” with 60 characters and 58 glyphs.
