ellipsus: an honest review

(this is pretty much directly copied from an insta post i just made. if you're seeing this before monday 4/21, when this goes live on insta... cool! you got in early. also, check my instagram out)

what is ellipsus?

ellipsus is a writing platform designed for collaboration, but it can definitely be used alone. i, personally, only write solo, so this review mostly focuses on the solo writing experience (with a few mentions of collaborative features).

features

there are sort of 4 main parts to ellipsus when it comes to writing: folders, documents, the main writing doc, and drafts. you can make folders to house multiple documents, and you can even put folders into folders, which allows for a TON of organization.

inside each document, you have the main document and the drafts. the way it’s meant to be used is as follows: you do all your writing in the main doc, and then you can make drafts that copy everything in the main doc. any changes you make in the drafts doesn’t change the main doc.

that, however, is not how i use documents. i like to make a document about one topic - for example, character development and worldbuilding - and then make drafts that relate to that topic (i.e., a draft for each character bio). this allows for even MORE organization beyond folders, microfolders, and documents.

ellipsus also has templates like word and google docs, but i don’t have much to say as i haven’t tried any of the templates out. as of right now the templates don’t have previews (outside of the ellipsus blog), just names, which has made me hesitant to look into them any further because... you know... i don’t really know what I’m getting into. this is just something to note.

pros

LOTS of organization via folders within folders, documents, and drafts

built-in collaboration tools (such as version history, a chat box for collaborators, and commenting on drafts)

lots of formatting tools (such as headings, a divider, quote/code, indents, and more)

the platform is constantly being improved & updated

if you’re a font nerd like me: new fonts are added fairly often, and the selection is pretty good right now! it has a good variety of different font types.

IT'S FREE!!

cons

you can’t switch between fonts in one draft/the main doc - only one font for the entire thing (diff headings can have different fonts)

can be glitchy sometimes (though i’ve never lost work!)

you can move documents between folders, but you can’t move drafts between documents. (this might not seem like a big deal to some, but i accidentally made a draft in the wrong doc once and wasn’t able to move it, which sort of threw off my organization :/)

ellipsus is only on web, which is great on computers but makes it difficult & not fun to use on mobile

should you use it instead of word and google docs?

i’ve been using ellipsus for around 2 months now, and i’d say it’s a great alternative... but it doesn’t have everything. in some regards, i’m still finding it difficult to completely transfer over from google docs, which I’ve been using for years. one thing i love is ellipsus' stance completely against ai, and its commitment to staying that way. i still mostly use google docs on my phone, since ellipsus is hard to use on mobile.

final thoughts & comments

i think ellipsus is a great tool, and that everybody should try it out! maybe you won’t transfer over to it completely right away (or ever), but it’s still something to look into. is it perfect? no, but it’s improving all the time.

Senku, I want to ask you a question on the matter of using AI. I want to know your thoughts about it!

A while back, I attended a conference with a bunch of esteemed people, including a few diplomats from all over the world. Someone had asked a doctor and a professor in the top university of my country, "How do you feel about the growing presence of artificial intelligence in almost every aspects of work and life? Does it threaten you?" (Not his exact words, but that's the gist!)

At first, he laughed, and then he simply said: "Do you think mathematicians got mad when the calculator got invented?"

I have my own stance about it, and I think a tool whose primary function is to make complex computations much easier to do is VERY different from the level of AI currently existing.

As someone who's proficient in math, science, technology, and many other things, how do you feel about the professor's statement? 🤔

— 🐰

Okay. I have lots of thoughts about this

So we all know that AI is on the rise. This growth is thanks to the introduction of a type of AI called generative AI. This is the AI that makes all those generated images you hear about, it runs chat gpt, it's what they used for the infamous cola commercial.

Now there's another type of AI that we've been using for a much longer time called analytical AI. This is what your favorite web browser uses to sort your search results according to the query. This has like nothing to do with character ai or whatever, all that stuff is generative AI.

The professor compared AI to a calculator, but in my mind, calculators are much more like analytical AI, not the generative AI that's gotten so popular which the question was CLEARLY referencing. This is because analytical AI uses a structured algorithm, which is usually like a system of given numbers or codes that gives an exact result. There are some calculators that can actually be considered analytical AI. Point is, you're right, this is completely different from generative AI that uses an unstructured algorithm to make something "unique" (in quotes because it's one of a kind, but drawn from a combination of existing texts and images). The professor did NOT get the question I fear.

This bothers me because analytical AI can be incredibly useful, but generative AI really just takes away from us. Art, writing and design are for humans, not for robots -- science should foster creativity, not make it dull. It's important to know the difference between them so we know what to support and what to reject.

Final Reflection

Alohaaaa! 🤙 Welcome back to my blog! Alas, this will be my last post on this blog, unfortunately. I have overcome many hurdles, and I am proud of where I am today, my project, and what has led me to this point. This journey was not easy, but it was definitely worthwhile and memorable, thanks to all the support I received. I want to personally thank everyone who has participated in my Instagram polls and my usability testing survey. Shout out to y’all!

1. What were your thoughts about your research topic going into the first week of the semester?

My thoughts during the first week of the semester about my research topic, job displacement in web design, were that AI will not replace human designers or artists as a whole because they lack empathy and the ability to form meaningful connections with humans, both interpersonally and in person. However, I didn't think I could win this battle against AI due to my inexperience. I have the skills, sure, but they are elementary at best. Prior to this project, I had some experience working with Figma and creating my first website prototype through my CM 316 (User Experience) course. I also practiced more coding in HTML and CSS in my ART 320 (Web Design & Development) class. In the end, I created a website prototype, so no coding experience was actually needed.

2. What are your thoughts now about your research topic and your project/practicum?

My current thoughts on my research topic are that AI can be used as a tool to brainstorm during the ideation step of the design process, generating ideas or inspiration for wireframes and similar tasks. However, it should not do the work entirely for you. It's the same with templates; you don't just submit it as is. You have to add your own personal touch and style, and replace the content with your own words. Regarding my project, I never thought I would beat the AI, so it was a pleasant surprise to win against it. I had many ups and downs, and at one point, I thought this project was impossible to complete and that I wouldn't graduate on time. Nevertheless, I'm so glad I reduced its scope, making it less overwhelming and daunting. Best decision I ever made. I somewhat regret not being able to complete my original deliverable of a website, but maybe I can create one in the future. Some things are just not meant for you at the moment, but they can come to you later.

3. What did you learn about yourself as a creative through this journey?

It was challenging for me to meet my own deadlines, so I kept giving myself extensions, as the project was self-directed and mostly independent. I always thought I was behind, and it really made me doubt my abilities and timeliness. However, I learned not to be as harsh on myself, even though we are our own worst critics. I once saw a quote that said, “Make it exist first, then you can make it good,” or something along those lines. That really resonated with the perfectionist in me because I am always so focused on the little details, like spacing and alignment, when I should really be focusing on the broader picture.

4. What did you learn about the creative and production process?

If you don’t already know, the creative process has three phases: pre-production, production, and post-production, also known as the three P’s. What I learned is that you just need to trust the process. There will be some bumps and hiccups along the way, but that is to be expected, as no one is perfect and is bound to make mistakes. You also have to remember that you are still a student, so you're still learning; it’s okay to make mistakes. From planning to execution, every phase of the process is vital, but the bulk of your project will be the production phase. During the production phase, it took me approximately one to three days to work on the lo-fi wireframes and five days to complete the hi-fi wireframes and prototype together. I learned to be patient with myself and the process. Locking in wasn’t easy, but once I was in the zone, nothing could stop me, not even hunger.

5. What advice would you give new senior capstone students?

My advice is to get started as soon as possible and really plan ahead. The pre-capstone is essentially your blueprint for your project, which is necessary for any project. You really need to thoroughly and thoughtfully consider what your project entails, including the specifics for each phase, or at least a general outline. Also, make sure to have backup plans in case your original plan doesn’t work out, like me. My backup plan was to create a website prototype, since I saw other classmates doing the same. Ergo, at least have a plan A and a plan B. The more plans you have, the better prepared you are, and you have more options to choose from. Also, be truly interested and passionate about your research topic. Additionally, I suggest delivering something you’re familiar with, so that you’re not just learning an entirely new skill from the beginning. It’s good to challenge yourself, but the final product may not turn out as you wanted.

6. Where to now?

After graduation, I was referred to work for the local Hawaiian government as a web designer. I still need to follow up with them if the offer still stands. Regardless, I plan to work in-house at a local or remote company, at a local or remote agency, or as a freelance web designer. I dream of working at top companies like Google, Microsoft, or Adobe. If all else fails, I could start up my own web design studio called "Webko," meaning "my web(site)" in Ilokano. I am trying to apply to as many jobs as possible, but I want to focus on graduating first.

Here’s a TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) version:

Initial Beliefs: AI won't fully replace human designers due to a lack of empathy, but I felt that I was inexperienced and wouldn’t win. In the end, I triumphed.

Current View: AI can be a brainstorming tool, but it shouldn't replace the designer's personal touch and creative vision.

Project Experience: Faced challenges but ultimately reduced project scope, which made it more manageable.

Personal Growth: Learned to be less harsh on myself and focus on completing work rather than perfecting details.

Creative Process Insights: Trust the three phases—pre-production, production, and post-production—and be patient with the process.

Advice for New Capstone Students: Start early, create detailed plans, have backup options, and focus on topics that genuinely interest you.

Future Plans: Seeking work as a web designer with hopes of joining major companies or starting a freelance studio called "Webko."

"Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened." - Dr. Seuss

Again, thank you for following me on this creative journey! I appreciate all of you. Good luck to everyone on their future endeavors! Peace ✌️

Local SEO & Web Design: The Perfect Pair for Dominating Your Market

In today’s hyper-competitive digital landscape, local businesses can’t afford to ignore two critical ingredients for success: Local SEO and strategic web design.

Think about it—when was the last time you Googled something like "best pizza near me" and clicked on a slow, clunky website? Probably never. That’s because users demand speed, clarity, and relevance—and Google rewards businesses that deliver it.

If you’re running a local business (or an agency that serves them), mastering the synergy between  local seo services is your golden ticket to more traffic, leads, and sales.

Let’s dive into how to structure your approach for maximum impact.

Why Local SEO & Web Design Are a Match Made in Digital Heaven

Local SEO ensures your business shows up when people search for what you offer in your area. But if your website looks like it’s stuck in 2010, those hard-earned clicks won’t convert.

Here’s why these two need to work together:

✅ First Impressions Matter – A sleek, modern design builds trust instantly. ✅ Speed = Rankings – Google loves fast sites, and so do users. ✅ Mobile-First is Non-Negotiable – Over 60% of local searches happen on phones. ✅ Clear Calls-to-Action (CTAs) Drive Conversions – A pretty site is useless if visitors don’t know what to do next.

The Blueprint for a Local SEO-Optimized Website

1. Blazing-Fast Load Times (Or Bust)

Google’s Core Web Vitals now directly impact rankings. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, you’re losing visitors—and rankings.

🔹 Pro Tip: Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to identify slowdowns. Optimize images, leverage browser caching, and consider a lightweight theme.

2. Mobile Responsiveness: No Excuses

Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning your mobile site is the benchmark for rankings. If your site isn’t seamless on smartphones, you’re invisible to most local searchers.

🔹 Pro Tip: Test your site on multiple devices. Use responsive design frameworks like Bootstrap or hire a developer who specializes in mobile UX.

3. Local SEO Must-Haves

Your website should scream “I’m the best local option!” to both users and Google.

✔ Optimized Google Business Profile (GBP) – Sync your site with your GBP for consistency. ✔ Location Pages – If you serve multiple areas, create dedicated pages (e.g., "Plumber in Austin", "Plumber in Dallas"). ✔ Local Schema Markup – Helps Google understand your business’s name, address, and phone number (NAP). ✔ Embedded Google Maps – Makes it easy for customers to find you.

4. Conversion-Focused Design

A beautiful website that doesn’t convert is just digital art.

🔹 Clear CTAs – Buttons like "Call Now" or "Get a Free Quote" should stand out. 🔹 Trust Signals – Display reviews, badges, and testimonials prominently. 🔹 Easy Navigation – Users should find what they need in 3 clicks or fewer.

How to Structure Your Agency for Success

If you’re an agency offering Local SEO + Web Design, here’s how to position your services:

1. Offer a Seamless Bundle

Most small business owners don’t want to hire separate teams for SEO and design. Package them together as:

🚀 "The Local Dominator Package" – Includes:

Custom, mobile-optimized website

On-page & technical SEO

Google Business Profile optimization

Local citation building

2. Focus on ROI-Driven Results

Clients care about leads, calls, and foot traffic—not just rankings. Structure your case studies around real-world results:

📈 "Helped [Client] Increase Local Calls by 200% in 3 Months"

3. Stay Ahead of Trends

Voice search, AI-powered chatbots, and hyper-local content are rising. Agencies that adapt fastest will win.

Final Thoughts: The Future is Local & Optimized

Google is getting smarter, competition is fiercer, and user expectations are higher than ever. The businesses that thrive will be those that merge airtight Local SEO with conversion-driven design.

Whether you’re a local business owner or an agency, the time to act is now.

Need help dominating your local market? Let’s chat—because in today’s digital world, blending SEO and design isn’t just smart… it’s survival. 🚀

Clarify vague or incomplete answers

Accept voice, text, file, or image input

This elevates the user experience and reduces the need for human intervention.

Watercooler talk Investors eagerly anticipated The Trade Desk’s earnings, and the strong results indicate its previous quarter’s revenue miss was more like a blip (partly blamed on clients sluggishly transitioning to its new user interface Kokai). Chief executive (CEO) Jeff Green called Q4’s performance a “setback” from which TTD undertook the “most significant company upgrade in our sixteen-year history”. That translates to simplifying some of its structure, platform updates, new hires, and enhancing Kokai with more AI tools, ultimately improving campaign performance and lowering advertisers’ cost per acquisition. High points include growth in CTV and retail media, as well as TTD’s product OpenPath, which more directly connects advertisers with publishers without the supply-side platform. The latter is being more widely adopted. The demand-side platform claimed publisher, the Arena Group, is increasing fill rates by 4x and programmatic revenue by 79%, and The New York Post saw fill rates increase more than 8x and revenue increase 97% thanks to OpenPath. The firm is confident about the future—regulatory pressure on rivals like Google will do that—but it also recognizes the challenges of the uncertain economic environment, the unclear future of the open web, inefficient programmatic supply chains, as well as its own platform upgrades. How TTD will find more growth in the fragmented CTV landscape is another challenge, especially since it lost its hardware partner when Sonos canceled its streaming video player in March. Key quote: “Our model is designed to compete,” said Green. “As we’ve said before, if we can win share in an unfair market against the biggest tech players in the world, as we have over the last fifteen years, imagine what we can do in a fair market.” Tumblr via Adweek https://www.adweek.com May 9, 2025 at 11:18AM

Top 10 Trends in Manufacturing Website Design for 2025

As the manufacturing industry embraces digital transformation, a high-performing website is no longer just an online brochure—it’s a critical business asset. In 2025, Manufacturing Website Design is about combining function, speed, and engagement to meet the rising expectations of B2B buyers, engineers, and procurement teams. In this blog, we explore the top 10 website design trends that are shaping the future of digital experiences for manufacturers.

1. Mobile-First Design and Responsive Interfaces

B2B users are increasingly accessing manufacturing websites on mobile devices, even from factory floors. Mobile-first design ensures seamless navigation, quick loading speeds, and full content visibility across devices. In 2025, Manufacturing Website Design must prioritize adaptive UI elements, touch-friendly interfaces, and fast performance using technologies like AMP and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

2. Enhanced User Experience (UX) with Industrial Navigation

Manufacturing websites often feature extensive product catalogs, technical documentation, and industry-specific data. Clear and intuitive navigation is critical. Expect to see robust mega menus, filterable product directories, and real-time search with auto-suggestions. Smart breadcrumbs and categorized dropdowns help users find components without friction—improving dwell time and conversion rates.

3. Integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and 3D Product Visualization

To replicate the in-person product evaluation experience, more manufacturers are embedding AR and 3D visualization tools on their websites. Whether it’s rotating a machine part in 360 degrees or viewing it in a simulated factory layout, this immersive capability helps B2B customers make informed decisions. It’s a standout feature in modern Manufacturing Website Design.

4. AI-Powered Chatbots and Virtual Assistants

AI-driven chatbots are revolutionizing customer interaction in manufacturing. These assistants can provide instant responses to RFQ submissions, pricing inquiries, and product availability. NLP-powered bots can also guide users to relevant datasheets, CAD files, and videos. By integrating with ERP systems, these bots improve engagement and reduce manual workload.

5. Content-Rich Resource Hubs

Educational content is a proven way to build trust with B2B decision-makers. Manufacturers in 2025 are turning their websites into resource centers, offering downloadable spec sheets, CAD drawings, installation guides, and video case studies. Structured, gated content also helps in capturing qualified leads, making it a core pillar of Manufacturing Website Design strategy.

6. Seamless CRM and ERP Integration

Modern manufacturing websites are becoming intelligent data conduits. When integrated with CRM and ERP systems, websites can automatically sync lead data, track quoting activity, and update product inventory in real-time. This backend connectivity improves workflow efficiency and ensures sales teams are always working with the latest data.

7. Voice Search Optimization

As voice search becomes more common in professional environments, especially in hands-busy settings like workshops and production floors, optimizing for voice queries is essential. This includes using conversational keywords, implementing schema markup, and ensuring fast, structured responses for typical voice-based questions like “What is the lead time for part X?”

8. Sustainability-Focused Design Elements

Buyers increasingly want to know a manufacturer’s sustainability commitment. In 2025, expect eco-conscious Manufacturing Website Design to incorporate visuals, badges, and certifications reflecting green practices. Dedicated sustainability pages and lifecycle impact stats can influence procurement decisions and appeal to ESG-minded partners.

9. Localization and Multilingual Capabilities

With global supply chains and clients across continents, manufacturing websites must support multilingual content and localized experiences. Features like geo-IP redirects, region-specific pricing, and compliance notices are becoming standard. A multilingual CMS helps ensure consistency while catering to diverse buyer personas across different markets.

10. Advanced Analytics and Conversion Tracking

Tracking user behavior is critical for optimizing website performance. In 2025, manufacturers are deploying heatmaps, form analytics, scroll-depth tracking, and session replays to understand how visitors engage with their site. This data guides improvements to CTA placements, navigation flow, and content hierarchy—resulting in higher lead conversion rates.

Conclusion

The future of Manufacturing Website Design lies at the intersection of functionality, intelligence, and interactivity. Manufacturers who adopt these emerging trends will not only enhance their digital presence but also create seamless, efficient experiences for their clients. As a tech solutions provider, we help manufacturing businesses integrate these modern web technologies—ensuring they remain competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
