I know most hardcore Web designers/developers don’t like the term “Web 2.0“. They get frustrated and state that Web 2.0 isn’t anything more than design and technology put together to provide end users with a rich application experience over the Internet, not a new version of the Web. Well, that’s what Web 2.0 has been defined as, so maybe “Web 2.0″ is “Web 2.0″… Confusing, huh?!
It’s kind of like saying that a non-denominational church isn’t a denomination when in fact, non-denomination is now determined to be a denomination like Baptist, Catholic, or Methodist, to name a few. So, the moral of this story is, if you say something isn’t something for so long, basically it becomes the very thing you don’t intend for it to be. And, only for the simple fact that the topic of interest will fall into a category of some sort because everything has to be categorized, whether you like it or not… Enough! On with the rest of my post…
I have mentioned rateTexarkana on this site a couple of times and am very pleased with what Randy has done with that site. It looks very “Web 2.0″. Randy’s adoption of new fangled design practices has spurred me into the new era of design, layout, and functionality. So, what better place to start than with my own personal business’ Web site?!
The Fruitful Solutions Web site, fruitfulsolutions.com, has been “under construction” for a few months now. I was working with one design but never was completely happy with it. Now, that I am venturing into these new ideas and concepts, I have a new fire for the direction of my Web site. I started the new design by revamping my logo. Below is the comparison:
Yesterday:
Today:
Once I had the logo redesigned with a little modern flair, and gloss, I decided to incorporate some color into the new design. You can check out my ideas, although not the finished design, by visiting www.fruitfulsolutions.com.
I’d love to hear what people think of this new design concept I am working to incorporate into my business’s Web site. Any and all opinions from “It is the greatest!” to “It sucks!” are welcome. Of course, I do retain the right to delete all negative comments… I mean, come on! This is my blog and it is my new design… Which I like very much!
Until next time…

Yeah, it kind of has a little flair to it. Now, how many pieces of flair (that was for you Office Space fans out there), I’m not sure…

I really don’t think that Microsoft has a leg to stand on with their DRM crap…..err, wait a sec, are we talking about logos?
Just kiddin ya, Jeffro. The new stuff looks great, but the old stuff isn’t bad either. Keep both, but use the new one.

Will do, Josh! Thanks for the input… and the clarification on Microsoft’s DRM!
