I guess a better name would have been the simple website.
I’ve been building websites for the last 8 years and I have to say that the silicone wristband industry has pushed my web designing skills to a whole new level.
Thanks to people like Donny (the owner of wristbands with a message); I’ve been blessed to have the chance to work for someone that has pushed me beyond what should have been my own skill level.
I’ve had the privilege of working with someone that is as dedicated to his business as I am to mine.
The arguments and debates between us have caused me to test and retest my own theories from the length of the copy to the color of the buttons.
And my conclusion is that a clean design with very little copy converts better than long copy or a busy website design. And it’s the reason that I have redesigned my own silicone wristband website.
We are still testing but at this time it appears we are on the right track and a clean website design with very little content is the way to go.

A cool website design does not stop at the content; as a matter of fact it is at the content where things should get interesting.
Typography is an art, just like designing a website and by using typography in our web designs it allows us to take the web design to a whole new level.

Out of everything I do, the thing I enjoy the most is photo manipulation. No, I am not very good at it but I have some designers who are very good at it and I get to see other people do photo manipulation all over the internet every day.
Below are some of the photos I like and enjoyed that have either been down in-house or were found online.

As a web designer I’ve thought many times about doing a custom RSS feed icon for my blog. Below are some examples of some really cool RSS feeds

I’ve got some of the best graphic designers in the world that work here for me and it is something I am proud to have. However, while they are great designers I normally end up fighting with them on the typographical side of the website.
They seem to not understand that typography is part of the graphical design and can be used to enhance the look and feel of the site.
The below illustrates there are no limitation to using typography when it comes to website design.
