MILWAUKEE (AP) — Harley-Davidson will take its electric motorcycle division public through a blank-check company, valuing the enterprise that has been part of the Harley for 10 years at $1.77 billion.
The news gave a jolt to long-suffering shares of Harley-Davidson, which jumped 12{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca} before the opening bell Monday.
Under the agreement, the special purpose acquisition company AEA-Bridges Impact Corp. will buy Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire and make it the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the U.S. next year.
LiveWire has been part of the Milwaukee motorcycle maker for 10 years and became a separate unit in 2019.
Harley-Davidson Chairman and CEO Jochen Zeitz will hold the same positions at LiveWire for up to two years after the deal closes.
LiveWire’s stock is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “LVW.”
Special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, are used as a shortcut to go public, bypassing the lengthy and costly process of a traditional initial public offering.

SPACs exploded in popularity last year, reaching a fever pitch early in 2021 when they were raising an average of $6 billion every week. They offer investors a way to get into those exciting, potentially high-growth companies or companies or industries, and few sectors are as hot lately as electric vehicle makers.
Companies going the SPAC route often feel more license to highlight projections for big growth they’re expecting in the future, for example. In a traditional IPO, the company is limited to highlighting its past performance, not necessarily the greatest selling point for young startups that have little to show for in sales or profits.
Once the transaction closes, Harley-Davidson will keep an approximately 74{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca} equity interest in LiveWire. ABIC’s shareholders will own about 17{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca}, and ABIC’s founders and Taiwanese powersports company KYMCO will own approximately 4{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca} each.
The deal has been approved by the boards of Harley-Davidson and ABIC and if it gets the approval of ABIC shareholders, it is expected to close in the first half of next year.
Shares of Harley-Davidson, Inc. jumped $4.25 to $41.06 in premarket trading, but are down more than 3{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca} over the past year.

What web design trends will dominate 2022? What styles and techniques should you get familiar with so that your creations are fresh and modern throughout the year?
Design trends can shape everything from how designers create to user interface design to future iterations of everything from websites to package design. They can also zoom in or fade out quickly, making it important to pay attention to what’s trending now so that you don’t end up with a design that falls out of style quickly.
Let’s dive into some of the top web design trends for 2022. We’ll look at trends that began to emerge in late 2021 and are definite candidates for setting the stage in the upcoming year, as well as a few trending designs that are on the cusp of popularity.

2022 Web Design and UI Trends
Fun, Optimistic Designs
Funky shapes, color, and even faces can make for a lot of fun. Designers are using the web design trend with fun, optimistic designs for everything from portfolio sites — such as the example above — to e-commerce. The common thread with these designs is that they inject a little extra happiness into the world.

Nothing says optimism like a smiling face. The right imagery is an easy way to portray this vibe and take advantage of this website design trend. Pay attention to photography and overall imagery and look for faces that connect with the virtual audience, such as the example above from LegalSuper.
After the past few years of living through a worldwide health pandemic, designers are adding a little extra fun and spunk into design projects. It’s just the feeling we all need about now.
Fun and optimism are injected with imagery that features faces, lighter typefaces and interesting fonts, and color that exudes positive emotions. To make the most of the trend, think about elements that are somewhat lighter and avoid heavy fonts or color choices.
FOFSO does it with language on the homepage as well as intense but happy faces staring at the camera with bright clothing and an interesting background.
Black and White Color Schemes
Black and white color schemes are the most stark, and beautiful, design trend of the year. Without color, you really have to think about and design within constraints. While this might sound a little intimidating, it can be freeing and help jumpstart creativity. Plus, the results can be absolutely stunning.
Maybe in another sign of world events, black and white color schemes are almost everywhere. This stark aesthetic is an indicator of how many designers might feel with a focus on simplicity and starkness.
The key to making a black and white color scheme work well while looking fresh and modern is in applying just the right effects and techniques.
In the example above, there’s a subtle, liquid animation on hover as well as oversized mouse pointer to enhance interactivity.
Bold & Experimental Typography
In 2022, there’s no wrong way to do typography. Big bold fonts — even serifs — are everywhere. And they look fantastic. When playing with this website design trend, think about how the typefaces will respond (everything looks different on a mobile screen) and how to maximize impact for visitors. Many experimental typefaces aren’t just designed with flair, they also include elements such as animations or flex options.
From outlines to color fonts to shifting shapes and fills, bold and experimental type options are dominating website designs. When it comes to today’s web typography, there really are no rules and designers are playing with a little bit of everything.
The design for Garcia Salmeron uses multiple type effects on the homepage that exemplify this trend: Mix and match characters within the main headline, a somewhat experimental font choice, and colored fill layers with images and backgrounds.
Oversized Pointers
This is a design trend that you’ll see in many of the examples here if you click through, but won’t see at all until you try to engage with a website design: Oversized pointers or mouse hovers.
This user interface element is everywhere. The most common example and usage is the one exemplified by Jade Sheng with a circular pointer that moves around the screen and even expands or changes color when it crosses a clickable element.
The great thing about this UI design trend is that it provides valuable usability information to website visitors and helps them better engage with the design.
Three-Dimensional Design Elements
While 2020 and 2021 saw lots of designers tackling full, three-dimensional designs for complete websites, the emerging trend is to incorporate elements of 3D with a more flat overall aesthetic.
Elements with a 3D flair might include shadows, animations, or layer effects to create depth and dimension.
Sennep does it in the example above with an illustrated find that reaches out and fixes the text in the rest of the design. The illustration uses a shadow and motion to accomplish this trending design style.
It’s time to think in 3D for almost anything. From real-life web models to video or photo illustrations with depth, three-dimensional elements can help provide extra understanding for a design, such as the architectural rendering above, or enhance visual interest.
Three-dimensional design also extends to visual storytelling as well. Think about how to capture your story or product in a way that highlights depths of field and shadows. Video, such as the example above, is one of the most tried and true ways to deliver this style effectively.
Almost Brutalism
Brutalism is the website design trend that people want to jump on board with, but it’s just too harsh and sharp to work for most projects. Enter the latest iteration of this trend – almost brutalism.
These designs use many of the same stark effects but with a lighter edge. Rather than mono typefaces, easier-on-the-eyes serifs and sand serifs are the norm. Rather than sharp edges, there’s ample space between elements even if there are some distinct boundaries and lines.
There aren’t a lot of frills or other visuals, leaving color and text to really carry these projects.
Scrolling Text Elements
While you always want text elements to be readable, they can also be dynamic. Scrolling text elements – often using oversized fonts, just a few words, and in a single location – can add emphasis to key words and spark user interest.
Text scrolling often moves slowly across the screen two the left in a location that’s not overly busy. Outline typefaces are a popular option and the key to maintaining readability is to use short, common words or phrases.
Calls to action and other messaging should be separated from scrolling text to ensure that website visitors can read them with ease.
Scrolling text options are more than just a website design trend or trick, they can actually help encourage interaction and user engagement. In the example above from Mama Joyce Peppa Sauce the cursor includes scrolling text which expands to a bigger scrolling text display. (You might even want to watch this interaction on repeat.)
Glassmorphism
The first hints of glassmorphism started with neomorphism in late 2020 and early 2021 and evolved into the more complete glass effect that’s popular now.
Glassmorphism is just what you might think: Design elements that have a look that’s reminiscent of glass. There may be elements of transparency, frostiness, or glossiness.
Designers have been playing with this style in a major way on Dirbbble and its finding a way into a larger number of published website designs.
Even More Gradients
Aside from a short period when every design was super flat, gradients are the design trend that just keeps coming around. In 2021, most of the gradients in design appeared in backgrounds.
For 2022, gradients are taking two new forms:
For text color fills (such as the example above) to provide maximum impact and emphasis
As a fill in an illustration or icon with other lines to create a textured depth effect
Home Pages Without Images
No photo? No problem! Design it without images and you’ll be right on trend in 2022.
Use a different type of user interface or design trick to make the most of a home page without images. In the example here Kirifuda uses a beautiful black and white color scheme with an overprint effect between text elements. Oversized typography and a handwriting style typeface help pull it all together. (Note the combining of other design trends into this one for a stellar effect.)
A design without images is also a great opportunity to try other techniques as well, such as animations, hover states, or other interactive elements.
Designing without images on the homepage can often lead to a quite minimal aesthetic. And that’s totally ok. Use another technique to spur interest, such as a large text element in an interesting typeface.
Layered Effects
Elements that stack and marge and overlap can establish connectivity between design elements and a depth effect. Layered effects can be obvious and direct or a little more understated. Both options can work together or alone for overall impact.
State Creative uses multiple layers – background, mid-, an foregrounds – to put together a variety of elements in a way that’s visually interesting and meaningful.
Split-Screen Aesthetics
Split-screen aesthetics are back in force. The trend from a few years ago worked then for usability and responsive reasons and now it’s more of a design.
These visuals can include screens that are split horizontally or vertically with each side having the same or different functional or click actions.
The best split screen designs do both things:
They provide a strong visual experience
They use multiple entry points to delve deeper into content
Interactive Typefaces
Text that moves with you on the screen is the backbone behind interactive fonts. In most cases, this works using a hover state, although there are some other more complex effects that you can experiment with. (Liquid animations with typefaces are also growing in popularity.)
When considering interactive text elements, think about readability and comprehension. A text effect only works as long as the words therein are still readable and understandable. (Otherwise the message and meaning of the design get lost.)
This design trend also works best when there aren’t a lot of other techniques layered in the design. This trick is best when it stands alone.
Who would have guessed that website footers – particularly those with a lot of information in them – would be a trending website design element?
Mega footers are one of the must-have design elements of 2022 for websites that contain a lot of information, large number of pages, or multiple points of engagement.
The World Wildlife Fund has a dual-level footer:
In the thick black bar, there are three columns of menu options for easy navigation, grouped by what a user might want to do on the site (discover, support, connect)
Also in the black bar is a comprehensive signup form to learn more about the organization
In the thinner white footer bar is organizational information, social media links, a nonprofit disclaimer, copyright notice and housekeeping links (privacy policy, disclosures, and terms)
Mega footers work well when there are obvious levels of elements that have distinct purposes. The column format with headers as well as a horizontal bottom anchor help this footer from Wild Souls look amazing.
Mega footers can even take on an almost brutalist style. The trick is using elements to create a distinct sense of organization so that users know how to find what they are looking for with ease.
Inclusive Design
Designers are working toward a more inclusive web and it is showing in almost everything that’s being published. From imagery to language to alt text, there’s no reason not to try to make your projects more inclusive of all people.
Inclusivity extends to race, gender neutrality, culture, accessibility, and ability. The common theme is that your website should be put together in such a way that anyone who wants to can get access to the content and people also see others who they can relate to on the screen.
The fine line here is that you don’t need to be over the top with images and language that screams “WE ARE INCLUSIVE.” This is one of those design situations where showing is more important than telling, and being true and authentic is more important than forcing it.
Where does the line between real end and imaginary begin? When you look at a lot of websites, you might not be 100{4224f0a76978c4d6828175c7edfc499fc862aa95a2f708cd5006c57745b2aaca} sure. And that’s ok.
Have fun with this trend and merge the real and imaginary to create pretty extraordinary imagery. Your imagination is the only limit here.
In the example from K Plus Film, the people are situated on top of fruit that’s flying around the screen. The color and scale create an engaging visual that’s anything but typical.
Conclusion
The new year is already looking to explode in extraordinary fashion when it comes to website design trends. Think about how you can merge these elements into existing projects or as a part of something new. And most of all, have fun!

What makes the best SEO companies stand out? Nowadays, we see more of them because more companies are looking for ways to build a presence on the internet. They could do it themselves, but it takes a lot of time, skill, and effort. That’s why they turn to search engine optimization companies for help.
Of course, people want high-quality results, so they look for the best SEO companies available. You will need to look for certain characteristics to determine which ones will truly deliver. Fortunately, I’ve listed them below to help you the next time you’re looking for SEO agencies. Maybe you could use this to help you start an SEO company yourself!
We’ll go straight into the list of qualities that the best SEO companies possess. Then, we will highlight just how important search engine optimization is nowadays. This will help you better understand the traits I will list later. What’s more, I will tell you why people still look for SEO agencies even though they could probably do it themselves.
The best SEO companies don’t get that title if they haven’t delivered top-tier performance. They have been tested by time and praised highly by their past customers.
By keeping customers satisfied over the years, people recognized the firm as one of the best. You’ll see a lot of positive reviews about the company.
They may even earn multiple awards for their outstanding works. You’ll often spot the good reviews and awards on their homepage. If not, it’s probably on the “About Us” page.
#2. Using the latest techniques
The biggest reason why people even use SEO is that they need to keep up with the times. They know that everything is changing quickly, especially the stuff on the internet.
These changes affect how social media and search engines work. In response, a company must adjust its online content to ensure it will still deliver great results.
The best SEO companies make sure that they keep up with these trends. After all, they can’t help other businesses do the same if they don’t know how to do it.
#3. A team of experts
The latest methods come from a team of professionals. They already know the skills needed to optimize content for search engines, but they are aware that they must keep on learning.
These experts know that technology and the internet change all the time. In turn, there is always another way to rank higher on search engines.
The teams are made up of various roles, such as web designers and copywriters. All of them are capable of handling every part of your marketing campaign.

#4. Ethical methods
There are good and bad ways to improve SEO. The latter involves various methods that provide a short-term boost in website traffic that is unsustainable in the long run.
For example, a company may post content that only focuses on ranking high on search engines but ignores its human audience. This hurts the brand’s long-term image.
The best SEO company sticks to ethical methods because it values long-term results. Businesses look for such firms because they can lead their brand to success.
#5. Honest yet realistic commitment
A good SEO company promises the best results, but the best ones truly provide them. The former will promise so much to clients, only to fall flat in the end.
It’s easy to see why companies do this. After all, they have to convince customers that they will get their money’s worth. Still, a company should always deliver what it promised.
This is always expected of the best SEO companies, and they never fail to satisfy customers. They set realistic goals, but they fulfill them in the best ways possible.
#6. Customized billing
All companies have different needs, so it’s not good to adopt a one-size-fits-all solution for them. This is why the best SEO companies don’t show a preset pricing plan.
Instead, they ask customers to reach out to them. This lets the firm know more about the client’s needs and goals and then plan the SEO project. The client agrees on their desired pricing plan based on the discussion. After that, the SEO speaks with another to form the best together.
#7. Regular communication
After reading the previous section, you might have gotten the impression that the best SEO companies simply end all client interaction once they’re done providing a solution.
That couldn’t be further from the truth as top-notch SEO firms check on their clients. They check if the SEO solution they’ve provided is working as intended.
This allows the SEO company to make adjustments to deliver the desired results. It will often open multiple channels so that the client can reach out to them easily.
#8. Flexibility
Nowadays, businesses must be prepared to make slight and major adjustments when needed. They understand that they must discard old methods if needed to continue pursuing excellence.
The best SEO companies know this better than anyone. I mentioned that they always use the latest techniques, but those can quickly grow old in today’s rapidly-shifting world.
This is why they always try to find new ways of ranking high on search engines. In turn, they will be able to help clients achieve this goal.
Why is SEO important?
It’s easy to overlook the significance of the best SEO companies if you don’t know the importance of SEO. That’s why we’ll quickly discuss what it’s all about.
People are spending more time on the internet nowadays. When they need a product or service, they usually head to search engines like Google to find it.
Once they receive a search query, they will look for content that matches the words typed by the user. Then, they will list them on a webpage with the most relevant result on top.
Businesses try to take advantage of how search engines work by forming their content in certain ways. This method is also known as search engine optimization (SEO).
If a business succeeds in optimizing its content for search engines, it could bring many benefits. The following list contains some of them:
SEO helps build online visibility
Almost all businesses have a website nowadays. If your brand doesn’t have one, it might as well not exist in the market. How can you make sure people see it?
Ranking high on search engines is a good place to start. If someone enters terms related to your brand, you’re more likely to show up on the first list of search results.
That’s a big deal because your website has a higher chance of getting clicks this way. When people search, make sure your brand is the first choice they see!
Search engine optimization boosts online sales.
Your brand’s search ranking factors into your bottom line too. As your site shows on top of organic search results, you’re more likely to close sales from visitors.
After all, people tend to go with the options on the first results page. If they see your brand at the top, they’re more likely to pay for your products and services.
This makes SEO worth the time, money, and effort nowadays. That is why more people need help from the best SEO companies.
It improves user experience on websites.
SEO benefits from linking your web pages properly. It helps search websites make sense of your content to rank it properly.
What’s more, it has the added benefit of making it easier for people to go around your web pages. SEO helps them get to related pages with the info they need.
You may also get more sales if you provide a great user experience. People won’t have any issues when choosing products, so they’re more likely to spend on them.
SEO helps companies compete
Nowadays, more businesses use SEO, even your competitors. They probably have adjusted their content to rank their brands higher than yours.
It’s not a good idea to be left in the dust regarding SEO. Drop too low on search results, and they are likely to get more customers than you.
You might not be left with a lot of clients too. This is one of the reasons why search engine optimization is important and why more people are looking for the best SEO companies.
SEO lets companies adapt to the changing times
Nowadays, more businesses are trying to go digital. Look at Nike as an example. Even though it’s a fitness brand, it now has a Metaverse project called Nikeland.
It allows Nike to reach younger customers in their favorite video game. Similarly, other companies are looking for ways to improve their tech, and SEO is one of them.
You will always have to use it to get people to find your website. If the search sites change, yours must adjust in some way.
Why do people need the best SEO companies?
The internet has so many free online resources that teach SEO. This means regular people could learn all the basics right from their laptops or smartphones.
For example, they could learn about keywords and why you should include them in title tags and meta descriptions. Pulling it off well is another thing.
Including the right search terms in your content is just one part of SEO. You will need the following factors to create the best SEO strategy:
Your content should still cater to people, not robots. You must know how to write in a way that informs and engages audiences. Meanwhile, that content should blend the SEO keywords so that they become a natural part of it.
You also need to know some web designs for SEO. Your websites should look good to readers while making them easy to explore. Otherwise, more people will quickly log out, causing your bounce rate to increase. A high bounce rate could pull your ranking on search engines.
Link building is also important for your off-site SEO. You must link your content with others to get more readers from those sources. If you’re not careful, the links may “confuse” search engines, so your search ranking might drop.
SEO isn’t just about blogs because it should be in your other marketing channels like social media and emails. Your content should be present in various forms. This means you will have to get people who know SEO for every piece of content. Doing it all by yourself takes too much time, and you wouldn’t get the results you need.
SEO requires a lot of tasks, doesn’t it? Companies often have so many already, so they don’t have staff to spare. No wonder more of them request outsourced SEO services!
That’s why the best SEO companies are more important than ever. They have the skills needed to improve search rankings on certain pages on your site.
Even better, they have the experts you need to handle all the tasks from earlier. It could even manage all the marketing so that you can focus on the other parts of your business.
Final thoughts
Now that you know what makes the best SEO company let me show a great example: LeadAdvisors. This marketing company knows how to deliver quality SEO!
It meets all the standards I talked about. For example, LeadAdvisors has experts that could handle every part of your marketing, such as link building.

Google will begin to deindex your pages from search results if your website experiences more than a couple of days of downtime.
This is stated by Google’s Search Advocate John Mueller during the Google Search Central SEO office-hours hangout recorded on December 10.
An SEO named Aakash Singh called in to the livestream to ask Mueller how he can minimize the impact on search rankings while his client’s website is down for over a week.
Unfortunately for Singh and his client, it’s not possible to take a website down for a week without any negative impact to its SEO and search rankings.

If a website’s pages become inaccessible then it will only take a matter of days before they start to get de-indexed, Mueller says.
Mueller goes on to suggest an alternative method for handling planned downtime, but it still doesn’t guarantee no harm will be done in the short term.
Read his full response in the section below.
Google’s John Mueller On The SEO Impact Of Website Downtime
If a website is down for longer than a few days, whether it’s planned or unplanned, it won’t be possible to prevent negative effects on search rankings.
Mueller states:

“I don’t think you’ll be able to do it for that time, regardless of whatever you set up. For an outage of maybe a day or so, using a 503 result code is a great way to tell us that we should check back. But after a couple of days we think this is a permanent result code, and we think your pages are just gone, and we will drop them from the index.
And when the pages come back we will crawl them again and we will try to index them again. But it’s essentially during that time we will probably drop a lot of the pages from the website from our index, and there’s a pretty good chance that it’ll come back in a similar way but it’s not always guaranteed.”
A key takeaway here is that the impact of extended downtime will last longer that the duration of the outage.
Your pages won’t come back immediately, and when they do there will be strong fluctuations in search rankings before things settle down.
“So any time you have a longer outage, where I’m thinking more than a couple of days, I would assume that at least temporarily you will have really strong fluctuations and it’s going to take a little bit of time to get back in.
It’s not impossible because these things happen sometimes. But if there’s anything you can do to avoid this kind of outage, I would try to do that.”

What should a website do during an extended outage?
One way to handle it, Mueller says, is to set up a static version of the site that users can be directed to while the main site is down.
If possible, however, the best thing to do is make sure the outage lasts for less than a day.
“… that could be something like setting up a static version of the website somewhere and just showing that to users for the time being. But especially if you’re doing this in a planned way I would try to find ways to reduce the outage to less than a day if at all possible.”

BOSTON (AP) — A critical vulnerability in a widely used software tool — one quickly exploited in the online game Minecraft — is rapidly emerging as a major threat to organizations around the world.
“The internet’s on fire right now,” said Adam Meyers, senior vice president of intelligence at the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. “People are scrambling to patch,” he said, “and all kinds of people scrambling to exploit it.” He said Friday morning that in the 12 hours since the bug’s existence was disclosed that it had been “fully weaponized,” meaning malefactors had developed and distributed tools to exploit it.
The flaw may be the worst computer vulnerability discovered in years. It was uncovered in a utility that’s ubiquitous in cloud servers and enterprise software used across industry and government. Unless it is fixed, it grants criminals, spies and programming novices alike easy access to internal networks where they can loot valuable data, plant malware, erase crucial information and much more.
“I’d be hard-pressed to think of a company that’s not at risk,” said Joe Sullivan, chief security officer for Cloudflare, whose online infrastructure protects websites from malicious actors. Untold millions of servers have it installed, and experts said the fallout would not be known for several days.
Political Cartoons
Amit Yoran, CEO of the cybersecurity firm Tenable, called it “the single biggest, most critical vulnerability of the last decade” — and possibly the biggest in the history of modern computing.
The vulnerability, dubbed ‘Log4Shell,’ was rated 10 on a scale of one to 10 the Apache Software Foundation, which oversees development of the software. Anyone with the exploit can obtain full access to an unpatched computer that uses the software,
Experts said the extreme ease with which the vulnerability lets an attacker access a web server — no password required — is what makes it so dangerous.
New Zealand’s computer emergency response team was among the first to report that the flaw was being “actively exploited in the wild” just hours after it was publicly reported Thursday and a patch released.
The vulnerability, located in open-source Apache software used to run websites and other web services, was reported to the foundation on Nov. 24 by the Chinese tech giant Alibaba, it said. It took two weeks to develop and release a fix.
But patching systems around the world could be a complicated task. While most organizations and cloud providers such as Amazon should be able to update their web servers easily, the same Apache software is also often embedded in third-party programs, which often can only be updated by their owners.
Yoran, of Tenable, said organizations need to presume they’ve been compromised and act quickly.
The first obvious signs of the flaw’s exploitation appeared in Minecraft, an online game hugely popular with kids and owned by Microsoft. Meyers and security expert Marcus Hutchins said Minecraft users were already using it to execute programs on the computers of other users by pasting a short message in a chat box.
Microsoft said it had issued a software update for Minecraft users. “Customers who apply the fix are protected,” it said.
Researchers reported finding evidence the vulnerability could be exploited in servers run by companies such as Apple, Amazon, Twitter and Cloudflare.
Cloudflare’s Sullivan said there we no indication his company’s servers had been compromised. Apple, Amazon and Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
