If designing websites were like cooking, then Chong and Flemming might have just prepared something of a meaty meal for a swarm of pretty hungry sharks. Within a few hours of going live, the guest-list of jenniferaniston.com, their most recent web design project, was filled with passionate and lengthy comments by fans from all over the world. Ok, we are not talking about design critics leaving their mark, but obviously quite obsessed fans who found one of the functions of the site so tempting and easy to use that it might soon result in the largest portion of it. (and a funny one on top of that, a hilarious read.) Just the fact that it is possible to build something that so perfectly hits a nerve feels pretty encouraging. Some of the "guests" actually comment on the design of the site in a way as if Jennifer and Brad were the designers, and not Ophelia and Tom. (Yes, it is the same Tom, on who¹s design we based portions of this very site...) Another encouraging factor is the size of Chong & Flemming. They are a small, international team, with offices in London and Los Angeles. They are somehow what we believed the web could be when it all started. They prove (and the above project is really the tip of the iceberg here), that it is still possible, to create very extraordinary things, using talent passion and good energy no matter what the size of the team.
(I think Blogger is a one man show.)
Way to go. And congratulations...
