IT team hard at work.

Twelve months ago we walked up to our IT guy’s cubicle. He was twiddling his thumbs, looking uninspired and not even trying to hide the porn site he had open. The cutouts from ‘soldier of fortune’ magazine that he kept on his cubicle walls kinda gave us the creeps. We thought why not give him a bunch of cash to go build us a new website, that will keep him quiet for some time, and stop nagging us about using up all the gigapixels on the intarweb or whatever.

Then back in May we launched the new site, and what would you know, it actually looks good! The way it does it’s sideways swooshy thing and how everyone can read the news and see what we’re doing. The dancing blinged-bear makes our logistics girl giggle each time she sees it. We’re not sure how much our IT guy had to do with it – from what we saw this company called Gladeye were certainly helping a lot.

Funny thing is that it’s not just us that think it looks good. Site Inspire think so, it’s been listed on their site for three weeks. This crazy Japanese site about web design also listed it too. Gladeye are about to get a big write-up in .NET magazine because of the work they did, which apparently is really the bees knees for those web design people out there. And now today we hear the WordPress showcase has listed.

Gotta say, this worked out nicely for us. Better than the accounting software seminar that our Finance guy did.
