Colors and Site Design

After an era of password-protection we are quietly reopening the site for testing with some friends.

New features include the ability to import your address book, to stay logged in between browser sessions, and to share an entire search page on Linkspank. Hopefully there are fewer bugs now as well.

One of the most drastic changes is the design. When we started playing around with site design during the summer, we wanted to create a site that looked unlike any of the blockbusters of today.

But through testing with consumers we were led back to a white background and a modest layout. The previous design was interesting but too tough to understand, and not browser- and resolution- friendly enough. Functionality is the key.

If we can make a site that does any ONE thing ok, we have done something... a worthy challenge.
