Our new website is alive and kicking.
January 20, 2009
As Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States today, we are proud to inaugurate the next version of the Impulse Development website.
Our original site was launched in December 2006, so it was definitely time to build a new site. The design process began in late December, and it took us about four weeks to complete the site from start to finish. A lot of designing, programming, and copywriting took place during that time, but we are very happy with the results.
The new site features updated staff biographies, a bunch of new work, and a new blog where Andy and I will post company news and thoughts on the web development industry. We even hid our Rock Band 2 scores somewhere on the site, so click around and try to find them.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you like our new site.
