Omniture launches website redesign

Friday, 14 December 2007 @ 17:03

After several months of design, coding, and implementation, I am excited to announce that the website redesign I built for Omniture is finally complete. In addition to giving the site a fresh and lighter face, specific work was put into redesigning for increased brand awareness, better positioned products and product categories, and to highlight customers. I also focused on improving the grid, hierarchy, and making it more visually stimulating.

Andy Rutledge posted an article today about killing bad layout conventions. I try hard to only post about work by local artists/authors here, but this was too good to not share.

The Email Standards Project

Wednesday, 28 November 2007 @ 20:41

Despite my personal views on HTML email, HTML email is here to stay. However HTML email faces a large technical hurdle. Email as a communication medium was never designed to support HTML, rich text or even inline images. Today I discovered The Email Standards Project This organization wants to establish standards, thus ensuring that HTML emails can and will render consistently across major email clients. Hopefully this will catch on and make HTML email a much more pleasant experience for everyone. Just make sure to send “plain-text” to us email purists!

job announcement form no longer requires account

Sunday, 19 October 2008 @ 18:50

I am pleased to announce that the job announcement form on the website no longer requires the user to be logged in. This is significant as most people posting job announcements are managers, human resources staff, or recruiters and therefor have no reason to have an account. If you are someone that only created an account to post a job, please send me a note so that we can remove your profile.
