We’re kicking off our weekly effort to round up the most interesting stories in design and development from around the internet starting today and every Friday to follow. Our weekly roundups include interesting articles, viral videos, inspiring websites and much more found by our team while surfing the internet during the week. So lets dive into week 1 beginning Saturday the 20th.
JBi has a new website
This morning, the JBi team gathered in our board room to commemorate our brand new website go live. There was cake, Prosecco and a speech of course – launching a website for a web design agency is a big deal, ironically.
The new site has some neat new features like Jake, our interactive bot who’s taken over our contact form. Have a chat with him and see what you think. Hint: ask him to tell you a joke.
We will be posting about our new website in more detail next week, so stay tuned.
