It's high time the site was updated, and so I decided to completely redesign the site. In the time since the last real work I'd undertaken the technology changed significantly, and I decided that it would be useful (and fun) to step away from the older software and go with the new crop of web creativity suites. I also want the mobile experience of visitors to be better than it was, and this way everything gets updated simultaneously.
The site was never intended to be a final, complete entity; I think it's useful to regard it as an ongoing, organic process which will always remain fluid and changing.
