Here's a rundown of what's been going on with the site lately, and what you can expect in the near future.
We've changed our javascript framework to jQuery recently, which should enable us to offer more functionality and interaction in the future. We also started incorporating jQuery UI into the site - expect us to leverage it much more in the following months. The other big thing we've done lately is that we've greatly increased the load speed of blaq design (or, in some cases, the percieved load speed). We did this by a combination of doing some things smarter and by reducing, by a significant amount, the size of many site images.
Next up, we're tackling site navigation, and repurposing the left navigation menu. We've long known that having the top and left nav menus was somewhat overkill, but we have never had much time to think about how to make them more useful. Fairly soon, we'll be rolling out changes in those areas - nothing revolutionary, though.
Our overall mantra is to make small, incremental site changes that improve the site at fairly regular intervals. If you've got any suggestions for the site, please write a comment or send us feedback, we'd love to hear from you!
