One year ago, your favorite blog looked like this:
That iconic green!
The site really hadn’t changed much since its founding in 2008. In the first year it was very plain and started to get its classic green color scheme in 2009ish. After a couple revs it stayed pretty much unchanged for 10+ years.
Last year, Jon Biloh (read our interview) decided to upgrade the property with a little visual TLC and brought in a super designer to give us our present look.
Of course, there were some nostalgia tears – and even my heartstrings were tugged a little to see the old style fade into the sunset. But we’ve kept some of the green design cues and vastly improved the site’s readability, searchability, indexability, and overal esthetic.
Hope you’re enjoying LowEndBox!
