The New and Improved James on Software

Apr 08 2009

I finally got around to having this site redesigned — something I've wanted to do for a while. James on Software plays a large role in my personal brand. So, having great design is of paramount importance.

There's not much more to say about the new design, except that I did want to mention the designers.

When I arrived at a good company's site for the first time, I knew I had found my designers. Their work really speaks for itself. Definitely check out their portfolio.

In addition to being awesome designers, they do great XHTML/CSS and even know some rails. They're spearheading The League of Movable Type, an open source font movement. So, if you read this blog, there's a good chance you have a lot in common with them.

If you're looking for a design firm for your next project, you should really check this duo out.
