Six Apart Redesigns, by Jeffrey Veen

Six Apart Redesigns

Blog tool developers Six Apart launched a new site last night designed by Mule Design. It's a great example of a simple, consistent corporate site -- especially considering the complexity and wealth of content to be found there. In particular, have a look at:

Simple architecture.
Clean, consistent visual design.
XHTML Transitional code that validates.
Flash text-replacement using sifr.
Technological eating of one's own dogfood.

Nice work, everyone.

Interesting use of sIFR. I guess the links on the front page must by dynamically generated (or someone lost a copy of Photoshop/Fireworks). Shame about the lack of a right click contextual menu too.

And I believe RC 1 is neither as stable or bug free as the latest RC 3, I wonder why they chose that?

I love the new look though. Great job from Mule!

Ditto about sIFR, the latest updates brought about a lot of functionality and all you really gotta' do is change a couple files out.

I think the website rocks has solid code, very easy on the eyes, and very scannable. I'd say it has web -sticky.
