New Design and Some Weekly Links

Published August 25th, 2007 in Links

We’ve just launched a new design for our website and blog. The new design is fairly simple and intended to allow readers to focus on the content without being distracted. The home page (of the website, not the blog) includes some pictures from our portfolio. Also, we’ve added the FeedBurner count to the sidebar. If you’re reading this in a feed reader, please stop by and leave some feedback on the new look. Here are some links for this week…

The best part about your design is the user is the user friendlyness. One thing i would like to suggest you is make your footer links center aligned, i am sure the design will look more professional.
