Website relaunch

It has been a while since I last updated my website with fresh content. Meanwhile I have been working on a new design to replace the old one which I had created around September 2008.

I still do like the old design as it is still around on my business cards and letters. However, as my business has evolved since I first set out almost two years ago, I figured it is time for a new design that better reflects my activities and business alignment. My plans to launch the new design early this year were delayed several times as I was quite busy doing lots of client work besides shaping surfboards and running my other company. So, finally it is here - yeah. Tomorrow I'll write a bit on design decisions and techniques I use to make this thing fly.
