Presenting branding and website designs to clients comes with its own set of challenges. It would be pointless to develop a fully working website only to discover the client doesn’t like it.
That’s why designers use mockups. It’s a lot easier to edit a mockup than start coding a website from scratch. However, presenting a static website as is would be boring. You can spice up the way you present website designs (and complete brand designs) by using a computer mockup. This will make it easier for your clients to see how their website will look not only to them but also to their potential customers.
Luckily, there is no need to create a computer mockup from scratch. Thanks to numerous Macbook mockups, presenting your website or brand design has never been easier. Take a look at some of the best free Macbook computer mockups we’ve gathered in this roundup and add them to your resource library.

Diabetes mellitus is among the fastest-growing conditions in the world, and in Australia, a new case is diagnosed every 5 minutes. Many people with this illness are now taking diet supplements in an attempt to prevent this condition. A new study published in the journal Pharmaceutical Medicine from the University of South Australia shows that many of these so-called nutraceuticals can help treat diabetes and reduce the impact of other factors that increase the risk of developing this condition.
Nutraceuticals
The study defines nutraceuticals as “defined as food products, extracts or food derivatives such as vitamins, herbs, amino acids, minerals and enzymes that can potentially exhibit pharmaceutical benefit in addition to their nutritional value.” Nutraceuticals are important as a possible health intervention, since they are already widely used by the general population in developed countries. In fact, says researcher Evangeline Mantzioris, nutraceuticals are taken by over 40% of the adult population in Australia. Some studies show that they may help in some chronic conditions, either to improve the efficacy of the primary medication or to prevent or counteract the adverse effects.
The perceived advantages of nutraceuticals are their availability over the counter, their supposed low cost in many cases, and their accessibility. However, these very characteristics can be their downside, as well, since all of them are not equally effective. One study shows that actually more money is spent on alternative and complementary medicine than on prescription medicines! The poor regulatory framework with respect to these supplements makes it more difficult for patients to know which one they should actually use. And the huge volume of misinformation floating around the Internet doesn’t help.
Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong condition, in most cases, brought on by the body’s inability to utilize glucose adequately, resulting in high blood sugar levels that serve both as a characteristic marker and the primary reason for poor health outcomes. The reason for the abnormal glucose processing is a functional or physical lack of insulin activity, insulin being the pancreatic hormone that is chiefly responsible for stimulating the uptake of glucose from the blood into the body cells.
There are two types, type I which is present from early childhood and is due to a lack of insulin production because of the destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. Type II is a largely preventable condition, in 60% of people, caused by abnormal weight gain, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor eating patterns, which lead to a constant and eventually unmanageable load on the insulin-producing cells. in addition, other metabolic and hormonal abnormalities are often found in these patients, such as insulin resistance in the fat cells, which prevents their proper response to available insulin. Paradoxically, therefore, insulin levels are often higher than normal even as blood sugar levels soar.
There are about 420 million diabetics in the world, and they require about $1 trillion for their health-related expenditure. Diabetics are prone to vascular complications such as blindness, heart disease and amputations.
Obesity
Obesity is linked to higher rates of type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and a higher overall mortality. Hypertension itself poses the risk of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and death. High LDL cholesterol also pushes up cardiovascular mortality.
The study and its findings
The current study was meant to review the available evidence, to show which nutraceuticals among a selected few were most effective in managing diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and chronic inflammatory conditions.
The study showed that cinnamon is not very effective in lowering fasting blood glucose consistently in type II diabetes, while resveratrol has a two-pronged action: it lowers blood glucose and improves insulin resistance, making the peripheral tissues more sensitive to the actions of insulin. Meanwhile, curcumin reduces insulin resistance in both the pre-diabetic and type II diabetic patient and seems to be more effective in preventing diabetes.
However, green tea, green coffee extract, and gamboge (Garcinia cambogia) had no weight-lowering effect that could be detected by the experiment.
Garlic and beetroot juice could be useful in reducing hypertension when taken in conjunction with standard antihypertensives, especially in people with chronic disease who took the supplements over a longer period and at a higher dose.
For cardiovascular disease, they found that phytosterols could cause a small reduction in LDL levels when taken along with statins, while curcumin might reduce statin-associated muscle symptoms.
Fish oil and glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplements for inflammatory conditions have not been tested in high-quality randomized controlled trials, which limits the evidence available. Most studies report no difference from placebo. Curcumin did have an anti-inflammatory effect, however.
Conclusion
The researchers say that nutraceuticals can certainly be used for their natural health-promoting benefits, such as reducing the occurrence of high blood sugar levels. However, a healthy diet and lifestyle are the most important things that can reduce the risk of diabetes. Studies on nutraceuticals are hampered by a number of factors which limit their generalizability and make recommendations difficult. High quality studies would be beneficial, in uncovering the diverse mechanisms through which they act, the optimal dosage, and best combinations, for different patient populations.
Mantzioris says, “People should invest in a diet filled with whole foods – vegetables and fruits, cereals, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds, as well as dairy foods. However, if you are considering nutraceuticals to manage or prevent diabetes, we always recommend speaking with your doctor. There is still a lot we need to learn about them.”

The act of displaying time is quite popular on the web. But it’s not at all limited to what we typically wear on our wrist or hang on the wall.
Sure, a traditional clock can add to the aesthetic of a website or app. However, that’s only genuinely useful in certain situations, considering our device screens already display the basics.
An area where time really shines is in counting up or down. Whether you’re displaying the elapsed time of an event such as an online quiz or the amount of days until a big product launch, these items can add a bit of excitement. Plus, they can play an important role in the overall user experience.
Let’s have a look at some code snippets that you can use to bring time-related functionality to your projects.
The Web Designer Toolbox

A High-Tech Vue
While our first example may fit in with more traditional timepieces, it also features an ultra-modern look. Built with Vue.js, it shows how design can add a welcome dash of personality to even the most basic of technologies.
See the Pen Digital Clock with Vue.js by Toshiyuki TAKAHASHI
Very Meta
A clock made up of…clocks? It may sound far-out, but that’s exactly what this CSS-only snippet is. Watch the “hands” on selected mini-clocks shift in unison to count up elapsed time. Like the finest Swiss watches, the movements are incredibly intricate.
See the Pen Clock of clocks by Razvan Spatariu
Countdown to Launch
Countdowns are widely used to build anticipation for a big event. Maybe it’s a new product, a conference or even a movie premiere. They’re equally fun and useful. This attractive example offers a 24-hour countdown in a classic “flip” style.
See the Pen Draft Countdown by Dorian Camilleri
The Next Holiday Is Always Right Around the Corner
A countdown can also benefit eCommerce sites that want to focus on a specific holiday. In this case, it’s Independence Day in the U.S.A. But a dressed-up element such as this could be a great touch for virtually any special day that you’d like to call attention to.
See the Pen DailyUI #014 Countdown Timer by Julie Park
Quick Time
Splash screens seem to be making a comeback. But instead of leaving users to click through to the next step, a timed redirection can be a nice way to make your point without too much inconvenience. This old-school film countdown animation might be a perfect fit for such a use.

A Touch of Class
High-end timepieces never go out of style. With beautiful looks and precision movements, they capture the imagination. Here, we have a faithful recreation of a Rolex watch. Maybe not so useful for your everyday website, but something to admire nonetheless.
See the Pen Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner – pure HTML/CSS illustration by Chris Ota
Stopwatch
Synonymous with sports, stopwatches are used to time everything from Olympic races to Formula 1 lap times. In that spirit, this pure CSS recreation is both simple and beautiful. The movement is noticeable without being overwhelming.
See the Pen Stopwatch by Hilo
Around the World
Perhaps the most relevant use for an online clock is to display readings from various time zones. This gorgeous snippet uses Vue.js and leverages the browser to show times from all over the globe. Notice how the display changes from day to night, depending on the time in the selected locale.
See the Pen Vue Time Comparison by Sarah Drasner
Time’s Up
Implementing time, regardless of form, into your project adds an extra layer of detail. While it doesn’t necessarily have to be the main feature, it can serve as a means to inform and entertain.
Beyond its usefulness in web design, these clocks and timers also make for a wonderful introduction to how languages such as JavaScript work. By dissecting one of the snippets above, you’ll gain an understanding of how these various bits of code come together.
So, whether you’re looking to add some interactivity to your website or just experimenting, there’s something for you in this collection. And if you’d like to see more examples, check out our CodePen collection.
