13thirtyone New Website Launch
I kept my word and worked hard these past few months to not only update, but redesign, the 13thirtyone website. A few screen shots of the new site are below:
My goal was to create a website that was more corporate in feeling. I still wanted to incorporate my style, but wanted the look to be a bit more buttoned-up as well. Also, I’ve found that the sites I think are most effective are fairly short and sweet. They don’t bog the reader down with loads of text, long lists of services nor paragraphs on end about mission statements and philosophies. A short bio page, client page, press area and portfolio are all I’ve really include on the site as far as content is concerned.
Furthermore, some web developers may cringe, but I wanted the focus to really be on the design and the fonts in this version of my website. I chose to incorporate a lot of large background images, and even some images that incorporate text (though there’s alt tags and meta tags to replace the keywords). All in all, I’m very happy with the result.

Hi Angela,
The site looks really nice and really professional! One suggestion for the “As Seen In” page would be to link to each of the publications/blogs, etc. If you are using a large image to display all of the publications instead of html/css, you could always use an image map!
