It's Here!

Well, it's finally launched. We've been working on a new look and navigation structure for our own web site for quite awhile now. Thanks to Matt, we've had the look for awhile. But you know how it is: "The cobbler's children have no shoes." Our own stuff almost always takes a back seat. But we had some new publicity hitting the streets today, so we had to set a deadline for ourselves. Let me tell you, we can really sympathize with what our clients go through to develop their own Web sites. It's a lot of work! And it can be an intense process!

Since Heather and I both do Web work, and we both like having control, we had an additional dilemma to resolve: who's going to handle what and using what programming language. This can require quite a feat of coordination, which gets confusing at times, but we manage to work it out. What's our secret? Plan as much as possible up front, deciding what needs to be dynamic and what will be static, remember to back up, watch version control and communicate changes. Did we ever screw up and overwrite each other's work? Sure, but it happened fairly infrequently and we could always recover easily and quickly.

So here you have it. The new site for Whole Brain Technologies. Enjoy!
