My classic was my own boss actually, who praised the design to high heaven at the meetings, and two weeks into season holidays, after coding and uploading everything, he asks me to come back to work early because he’s got a whole new idea about how the site should look.

Looks great! A little late, but you better double check it with FireFox on the Mac.

Very nice design. I am noticing that the headers (h2) in the standard columns are not working in firefox 3.0.3. with win XP.

Looks like a million bucks, but there are a couple nits to pick.
1) The “More Stories” & “Donate to Housing Works” links on the large photos get lost against some of the pictures. I’m cognizant of the difficulties of having consistent visibility of a color against a photo, but there you have it.
2) I find the bottom portion confusing. As in not knowing what’s important in the bottom section aggregation but not really being able to read LTR either.

That said, the photos and quotes are very compelling, especially for those of us who have shopped at the Housing Works stores have not had their mission explained to us in that process.

JSM has a trademark style that is unmistakeable.

Actually, the site design is by Daniel Mall. Jason worked on a design direction that was ultimately not pursued.

I’m not fond of the logo but ILOVE the website’s design. The great use of the background image to focus attention coupled with the quote is masterful and taken straight from magazine design, I believe. I love it and hope to achieve something similar with the next iteration of my personal site.
