From our families to yours- Happy Thanksgiving! We hope that this holiday brings each of you closer to the ones you care most about.

Meanwhile, we’ve been fortunate enough to begin working with many new clients, and we’re thankful for the new work and continued relationships with a bunch of our existing clientele from years past.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done for everyone over the past twelve months- thank you for letting us be a part of your business family.

PACKT Publishing sent us a new MODx book, by author Antano Solar John, for review. The book’s called MODx Web Development. We’re excited to see more MODx books out there, since it’s our favorite CMS and probably the one we use the most next to WordPress for our web design clients.
We’re going through Antano’s book, and we’ll be posting our review of it here once we’ve had a chance to do so (it’s been really busy here over the past few weeks!).
And, um, yes this book is available in our Amazon Swag Store.
