The good people at A List Apart are conducting their first annual Web Design Survey. If you work on the Web in any capacity, we urge you to take a few minutes to complete the survey. It’s hard to solve problems like “Why isn’t their more diversity in our profession?” if we don’t actually know what the problems are. This survey is a good step towards measuring the current state of affairs.

This May, our CEO Adam Berkowitz will be giving a talk titled “New Business Opportunities with Web Presence: How a strong Web presence leads to increased business for you and your clients” at World Wide Web Washington, brought to you by the Art Directors Club of Metropolitan Washington.

We recently had another opportunity to work with Nautica Jeans Co., and this time it was on the design and build of promotional and sweepstakes Web site Live N Jeans. The site features video “Webisodes” and exclusive streaming music tracks, and users are encouraged to comment on and share the videos with their friends. The challenge in this project was mixing engaging Flash design for the video content with the open-source, WordPress-powered commenting system.

Check out the site and register for the Live N Jeans sweepstakes for your chance to win a night out on the town with your friends in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, or New York City.
