Middlebury design called “a completely unique layout with excellent typography” by Smashing Magazine

March 19, 2010
Our design for the Middlebury College site— and in particular its home page— received some nice praise from Smashing Magazine, a well-known design blog.

Aside from the Middlebury design, the article showcases a very large number of interesting approaches to higher ed homepage design; it’s a must-read for anyone interested in Web design.

The full story can be found here:

And here’s an astonishing and flattering piece of craftsmanship: a cake decorated to look like the Midd homepage, prepared for their launch party.
