As one who has been in the business of building websites for nearly ten years I am constantly amazed at just how this technology has evolved. Back in the day you’d sit down with a white screen in front of you and a thick HTML how-to book by your side. Then after a couple of hours you’d finally conquer placing an image into a table with some text just below. Then you’d test it on another browser and it’d all go to hell. Frustration would ensue and then you’d call your buddy who’d check out your code and point out the errors and make you feel stupid because it was so obvious (or not).

Quite frankly the process was painful and even at best this super-awesome site would basically serve as an online brochure that was a static brick of information. Content was stagnant as the process to update was left to the code jockey’s and not geared for the common desktop publishing man.

So, when we were discussing the development of this site I proposed building it on Wordpress. Sure, lots of agency’s have these fancy Flash sites (which are cool) but we don’t really do a whole lotta Flash and I didn’t think it’d be the best solution. Besides, maintaining a Flash site is a royal pain unless you have a really really expensive CMS that can handle it all.

So to ask again, why Wordpress? Simply put: Wordpress is awesome and it was the best Solution for our needs. We wanted a site where we could interact and show that we’re alive and kicking and inspired about our work. We also wanted a site where we could employ some wonderful technologies that we’ve steered our clients to use. We wanted to Tweet and Flickr and blog and link to our little hearts content just to show you, our loyal readers that our hearts beat just like yours.

Yes, we are alive and kicking and excited to come to work every day. Yes, we embrace these wonderful technologies that connect people in new and exciting ways. Yes, we’re excited to sit down and strategize with you about how to best implement these new mediums of communication.

So c’mon back as this site will be continually be populated with new and engaging stuff.
