Fluidesign, my home away from home, has just launched our new website and identity. We think it’s pretty groovy and we think you will feel the same way.

Of particular note is the fact that users can comment on our portfolio - as we far as we know, no other interactive agency allows this type of public discourse on their site. We like to encourage people to give us feedback wherever possible, and this puppy is no exception.

The team is still ironing out some kinks, so if you see something funky, get in touch.

I think I can safely speak for all of us at FD World Headquarters that we are amped beyond all belief to have this sucker live. The previous version of fluidesign.com served us for roughly 3.5 years. It did it’s job, got us clients and put our name out there, but after a while, it simply didn’t feel like us anymore. Now, we’ve been refined and reloaded.

Here’s to the next four years.

Update: QBN has featured our new site, woo hoo! Check it out.

If you’ve launched a large site recently, you may find yourself surprised at the amount of traffic IE6 drags in. In some cases, as much as 18% of our user base for large sites has been using the lil browser that could. It’s even more shocking considering these are cutting edge, community based sites. This breeds one (okay, maybe more than one) unfortunate drawback - lack of transparent PNG support in IE6. I don’t know about you, but I simply can’t live without transparent PNGs.

Fortunately, there are several work arounds. Even more fortunately, there is an updated version of a well known PNG fix - IEPNGFix 2 - and according to Angus Turnbull, it now supports background position and repeat!
