What is DAM?

A digital asset management (DAM) system brings harmony to the media-rich core of your brand. DAM platforms have the power to store, share and organize all digital content in a secure and centralized location. Get more out of your creative files such as images, videos, and other media by ensuring your team can find, share, and optimize your digital assets in real-time.

What is a digital asset?

Digital assets are any content that can be stored digitally, so you can create, manage, publish, and share content with anyone inside or outside your organization. In today’s rapidly evolving digital climate, there’s no limit to what a digital asset can be. Files like videos, music, photos, documents, and other media that contain the rights to use them are considered assets.

Consider the types of files and assets that are routinely created and shared across your organization. The marketing team creates and collaborates on advertisements, social media content, videos, and emails. Operations and services teams produce process documentation, blueprints, and workflow diagrams. And if you’re working with a network of vendors or providers, you may be producing images and content that you want to make available to them on-demand.

Virtually every department engages with digital assets that fuel the growth and success of your organization. With a digital asset management (DAM) platform, team members across every sector of your business can search, collaborate, and share assets with maximum efficiency.

5 Web Design Tips You Can't Ignore in 2022

Great website design starts with the fundamentals. Here's how you can turn your website from boring and unhelpful to dynamic and valuable.

By Adam Petrilli

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Whichever type of business you run, having a clean, user-friendly website is critical. Your business site not only serves as the digital home base for your business and product line, but also anchors your entire digital marketing approach, giving a central hub to point toward and connect customers with your brand and business. Delivering a poor website experience can hinder those efforts and sever those connections before they even start.

Here are five web design tips for turning your site into an online customer conversion dynamo in 2022.

When it comes to helpful web design tips, first impressions still make the top of the list. That's because what users interact with immediately after loading your site lays the groundwork for the entire experience. And if your web design isn't delivering the goods in those crucial opening seconds, you're not only losing new visitors, but opportunities to create a powerful and positive brand memory that generates interest and sales down the road.

Bootstrap Tutorial for Beginners - With Samples

Hello Coders!

This article presents the basic concepts of Bootstrap 5 that might help beginners to start faster with this amazing framework. Upon finishing this article you will know what Bootstrap is and how to code a Landing Page as well as a Dashboard Layout using only HTML and Bootstrap components. Thanks for reading!

Before we start, curious minds can visualize the projects crafted from scratch using only BS5 components.

✨ What is Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a popular JS/CSS Framework for developing responsive and mobile-first websites, that provides HTML, CSS, and JavaScript-based design templates for almost anything, including (but not limited to): typography, forms, buttons, navigation, and other components.

Bootstrap focuses on simplifying the development of informative web pages. The primary purpose of adding it to a web project is to apply Bootstrap's choices of color, size, font, and layout to that project. Currently, Bootstrap 5 is the newest version of Bootstrap, with new components, a faster stylesheet, and more responsiveness.

A super important fact about Bootstrap, despite the huge adoption, is that the framework is actively supported and versioned by programming experts and open-source enthusiasts.

How to Serve a Subdomain as a Subdirectory

Let’s say you have a website built on a platform that excels at design and it’s available at example.com. But that platform falls short at blogging. So you think to yourself, “What if I could use a different blogging platform and make it available at example.com/blog?”

Most people would tell you that goes against how DNS and websites are supposed to work and to use a subdomain instead. But there are benefits to keeping your content on the root domain that we just don’t get with subdomains.

There’s a way to serve two different platforms on the same URL. And I’m going to show you the secret sauce so that, by the end of this article, we’ll make blog.example.com serve as example.com/blog.

Why you’d want to do this

Because you’re here, you probably already know why this is a path to pursue. But I’d like to ensure you are here for the primary reason to do this: SEO. Check out these 14 case studies that show positive results when people move their subdomains over to subdirectories. You want your blog and your domain to share SEO value. Putting it on a subdomain would somewhat disconnect the two.

This was my reason, and wound up merging two platforms, where the main domain was on WordPress and the subdomain was on Drupal. But this tutorial is platform agnostic — it’ll work with just about any platform.
