ForewordIn short, everything is new! The entire ArtByJB.com website has been completely redesigned from scratch; however, there are certain features that should be highlighted.SpeedFirst, you'll notice that ArtByJB.com now loads much faster than the old site. This is due to a lot of research on website optimization, minimizing the size of the code created for the site, and optimizing the graphics contained within for the best quality verses size trade-off. ArtByJB.com now uses web 2.0 technology for even faster processing and data transmission. Search Engine Optimization has been built-in from the start to allow maximum exposure for the grand-reopening.Just Plain BetterI've spent hundreds of hours working out all of the bugs and perfecting every detail of the site, right down to the individual pixels and alignment of the elements. Vigorous testing has been done on multiple platforms and many different environments to ensure that you get the best possible experience from day one. The layout has been designed to be more intuitive, better organized, easier to understand, and just all around better looking. The content that you're looking for is exactly where you expect it to be and when you're ready for more, the page elements allow you to get to your next destination easily. This is by far the most technologically advanced website I've ever created - it is truly the Magna Cum Laude of my cumulative artistic abilities.Only the BeginningThe redesign of ArtByJB.com is only the start of the great things to come! ArtByJB.com will be released in phases.Phase oneThis is the initial release of this design, which was officially published on May 19th, 2010.Phase twoThis update will include a user account management section and a mobile interface for touch-screen devices such as the Apple iPhone.
