Does running your own company mean that you have to solely focus on projects with clients? Of course it doesn’t. Today we launch The Car Blog (TCB) to the world and saying we are excited is a major, major understatement.
Mike loves cars. Matthew loves motorcycles. I just love to work on new projects. So as you can see The Car Blog was a perfect extension of all our interests. We have gathered some of the greatest minds in the design world who also share a passion for automobiles. Some of these names you might have heard of: Jason Fried, Carlos Segura, and Didier Hilhorst. Along with them we have gathered other car afficinados to bring you a car site the world (or at least us) has been waiting for.
Why?
There are thousands of car site out there. Even the blog kings themselves, Nick Denton and Jason Calacanis, have them, so what would make us think we would be any different. Well despite the name this isn’t your typical blog. TCB is more of a car magazine online with blog features integrated. Our focus is bringing quality and fun back to the car scene along with a design that shows respect towards the cars we write about.
Too many car sites are ugly. Too many of them are boring. Too many of them…well too many of them are not what we wanted them to be. In the Open Source world if you have an itch, you scratch it by writing a program. This is the same type of thinking we apply to websites and is a reason you will see more from us in the future.
The Design
If you are wondering about the design of the site our Creative Director, Mike Rundle, has put together an excellent writeup describing his thought process while working on the design.
Our Talents and Services
TCB shows you what our team is capable of. Because our specialization rests in working with blogs that does not mean we can not create full scale websites for your company. We are using TCB as an introduction to our design services that we are also offering. More of these services will be discussed later, but for now head on over to The Car Blog and enjoy yourself. We know we will.
