Lately we have really embraced a ‘less is more’ approach to how we do business, design and also development.

Our approach when coming up with ideas is no longer what we can add but what can we remove. It’s taken a long while for us to embrace this mentality, but now that we understand it, we are trying to execute on it as much as possible.

When creating our new site we looked into the easiest way to get you your theme during checkout. We managed to get rid of a step and we were quite happy.

However after analyzing our stats we have realized that we can do more. What if we took to the risk and removed the requirement to register? We have been planning and debating it for almost two weeks and recently decided it’s time to take the dive and test it out.

We are big time users of Facebook Fan pages. We consider it just as valuable as our Twitter account and actually dedicate quite a bit of time to it each day to share links and comments.

Overall we think the service rocks however there are a few niggling issues which we hope they sort out sooner rather than later.

Now that we have finalized the design of our new site we set out on creating some new affiliate banners and upgraded the affiliate profile section.

For those of you who requested it, we have also created a new banner size, 234 x 60.

I have searched far and wide for 10 appealing minimalistic websites to flourish your creative thinking.
