Brand New Site People!

May 23rd, 2008 | By Rachit Dayal | Category: Copywriting, This Site, Website Branding, White Papers & Reports

Breaking News!

After spending three whole weeks building other people’s websites, it was finally time to upgrade my own site. I wasn’t able to upgrade it in most of May because of my ongoing website sale (there were hosted videos that I didn’t want to touch). But now that the sale is over, I can finally deploy the brand new site!

There are a lot more changes - and this allows me to add more stuff to the site - I’ve been dying to add all my free white papers, some free tools and some other goodies on the site. And this wide structure finally allows me to do that!

This weekend, I’ll be judging Startup@Singapore Business Plan competition - So expect to hear about that. Moreover, I’m just finishing designing 3 sites (and starting on 3 more) … so plenty of web design and wordpress tips coming up. Finally, all my old white papers on Web Design, Google AdWords and Usability are coming back online next week.

Was surfing the web and just found this great looking website. It looks pretty gorgeous. It gives out the details for a great party. Very enterprising - helping young fashion designers and mixing it up with a dating event.
The only problem? In all the graphics and prettiness they planned … they forgot to think about [...]
