A Coalescent Christmas Gift
Posted January 8, 2010 by Mike
With the holidays not too far past, it seems timely that a desirable gift for a web designer would be a shiny new site for themselves. And while that's mostly true, the new site's genesis stretches back a full year with many delays in between as day-to-day business takes precedence, many challenges faced and lessons learned.It's been an interesting process.
At one level, it is my hope the new site will hold value for existing clients, potential new clients and for other designers and colleagues in the industry.
We've added an expanded portfolio section which now also keys in on some other areas of work (print, email marketing, branding) that we've grown into over the last 6 years or so. There's also a client section where we hope to publish more feedback from our clients about the work we do.
But even further, this site has been an opportunity to explore and play over the last year in a way we can't often do. As such, it's given me the chance to introduce this blog where I hope to talk about some of those experiences from the past year.
And hopefully, that will be the start of a conversation that will cover much diverse ground related to design and the web.
I hope you enjoy both.

Very nice site!
What do you think? Voice your thoughts:
A place for my thoughts...and yours too.
- After almost 15 years of working in the web design industry, there are a lot of thoughts that begin to collect and rattle around. Eventually, some of them need to get out – or I risk losing room for more important things like where I put my car keys or what year I was born. (If anyone knows the latter answer, please email me.)
- With that experience comes some perspective on working online that I’d like to share with my clients, fellow designers and developers – or any curious onlookers.
- You’ll find posts here about industry trends, the inner workings of web design and thoughts about what it means to work as a web designer and developer. I hope you’ll join me here – and if you have any suggestions about what you’d like to see, drop me a quick note below.
