I can’t believe it, but Ajaxxx.com hits a HUGE milestone today. Yup, the site is officially one year old as of today. I still remember when I posted that the site is finally up. Shoot, I still remember the months (and years) leading up the LAUNCH of the site, where I slaved to build everything. Between researching on Google, bothering my friends for help, and sacrificing all kinds of sleep, I put a great deal of work into the site.

It’s a huge accomplishment that’s resulted in some pretty big opportunities. I’m lucky and I’m blessed to have reached such a major moment.

And for those that’re curious about just how much work I put into the site, check out this link: How I Designed the new Ajaxxx.com

Thanks again to EVERYONE for their continued support and for checking the site. I appreciate it for real.

There was A LOT of work involved in this, and it probably took me the last two years (with the last six months being the most intense). I’ll talk about the planning behind it, the designing, the coding, the problems I encountered, and tying it all together. If anything, I hope that I can help other graphic/web designers with their projects too. I’m all about building…so let’s build.

Okay, so let’s take a trip back into time. I’d say about 2-3 years ago, I decided that I wanted to redo the site. I mean, from top to bottom, I wanted to overhaul the entire site and start fresh. I kept getting comments from friends about things they didn’t like about the site, and there were lots of issues that I had with the site too. I also wanted the new site to incorporate more of my Indian side, but in a creative way…nothing corny, nothing too gimmicky. I wanted to represent right. So, it would have to be about more about fonts and paisley designs – I’d have to dig DEEPER. That probably challenged me the most, but that’s a good thing , right?
