I find little time to address the small things that would make my life easier, but when I do, I like to get the most out of it I can. So, when I blocked off time to re-architect our website, I made sure I addressed as many of the tedious, time draining tasks tied to running a website, as possible. Seeing as we’re a design studio, perhaps the biggest of these is maintaining our portfolio.

Maintaining an online portfolio is not terribly time consuming thing, but it has none-the-less been one of the many tasks that often get put on the back burner, in our shop. Additionally, Lauren and I both attempt to maintain a small portfolios on our blogs. So, in approaching this redesign, streamlining the portfolio upkeep, was one of my top priorities.

To this end, Expression Engine proved to be very valuable in doing the heavy lifting.

It’s the end of a long day, but a gratifying one none-the-less. If there ever was an excuse for neglecting one’s blog, this is most definitely it. For the past weeks (maybe even months) I’ve been working on redesigning the Object Adjective website. After many hours, many delays and many other responsibilities, I am very happy to say we have finally launched the new site.

I’ll keep this brief, as I am obligated to go celebrate, but I did feel this monumental (or so it feels) moment could not go without mention.

I am understandably exhausted, as today was the big day. Forgive me if I’ve overlooked anything. We are sure to tighten up any loose ends in the days to come.

If you are interested, I went into some detail about the how and why decisions that went into this redesign, so feel free to continue reading.
