Part of growing up

After postponing it for months, we finally decided we needed a redesign to replace our existing page. We got plenty of good feedback about our look, however, somehow it just seemed like a suit that didn't fit anymore.

So we got rid of bells-and-whistles and started over.

During our first year in business we have learned a lot. We have also come to realize that it takes hard work to design something great. Something that people would like and love to use. Reading more books  and practices about user experience design made us wondering how we could further emphazise people's positive emotions when using web applications. Furthermore, we wanted our own page to be aligned with that philosophy first.

We dedicated whole "Expertise" section to describe what it takes to build better experiences. It's important, because rather than just showing you our work, we find it’s also the way we do things that is important to communicate. End result is important but so is the time between starting and finishing. We treat our clients, partners and friends like we would like to be treated. It doesn't hurt us much to walk the extra mile to keep everybody happy. Never underestimate the power of word-to-mouth advertising, they say.

Our new site runs on Sandals. SANDALS is a lightweight, web based solution used to manage, organize and publish content on your website. It is open-source and soon will be available for anyone. We actively develop and improve it by building all our sites with it. We like to be flexible, one could use Sandals  both for a simple website or expand the features to support a more complex website with one or more web applications. If you are interested, you can read more about Sandals on our page.

Only thing missing at the moment is our portfolio section which we will add as soon as our materials have been properly organized. Keep your heads up and looking forward to 2010!

PS: Talking about good emotions, this post was written using Ommwriter. If you, also,  are a mac guy, check it out.
