Responsive Sabotage

Designing for yourself is generally just downright painful. As designers, we're our harshest critics. Ask any designer and chances are they've been perpetually redesigning their site for as long as they've been using Photoshop.

Count me as part of that group.

Today I'm proud to launch the most recent iteration of my little design brand, Sabotage.

For the better part of the past year I've been using a web service to host my portfolio, primarily due to having very little free time (who knew a kid took up so much time?!?!). But it was also an issue of priorities and I just had to bite the bullet and knock this thing out.

What I'm most excited about with this redesign is its support for just about any resolution you can think of. Ever since reading Ethan Marcotte's game-changing Responsive Web Design article last year, I've been anxious to implement responsive design into my own work and it's finally here.

With the proliferation of mobile devices (namely iPhone's and iPad's), the screen sizes of people accessing the web is now absolutely unpredictable. Stats on what size "most" of your users are accessing your site no longer really matter. Your site/application needs to support a whole slew of different sizes.

So that's exactly what the new Sabotage site does. Resize your browser window, access the site on your iPhone or iPad, change the orientation...the site adjusts for it all. Inevitably there are a number of tweaks I've already noticed I need to make, but dangit I just needed to get this out there.

Along with the redesign, I've finally included a new blog section that I intend on posting to frequently, whether it be full articles or just interesting finds around the web related to the design world.

If you've read this far, I love you. If you didn't read this far, I still love you but you'll just never know. How sad.

Hope you enjoy the digs!
