Hey girl,

I tried to
have a great
website
once too. It
ain’t easy,
even for me.

We’re working on a redesign.


We’re getting ready to launch our new redesign.



We just launched our new redesign!!!

We wish we could do a redesign






We’re trapped in committee hell







We’re overtime and budget on a redesign






We’re overtime and budget on a redesign


We just launched a redesign, I wish we could go back

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software websites.
