Happy Anniversary! And thank you for your continued support!
We've definitely had some fun with the wide variety of client projects through the years - everything from rockbands to musuems from small starts ups to Fortune 5's. And now travel guides to gardening and cooking for kids to antiques! Learning new things is just part of what we feel makes our work great!
And then there is the technology... in the beginning there were only grey backgrounds and html, then animations and sound, flash and ecommerce and now CMS solutions and more interactivity! Keeping ahead of the curve is something both challenging and good for us to stay creative.
DavidB and I would like to thank everyone who has worked with us as a team since we started back in 1997. We couldn't have done this without you ;) Special thanks to Catherine and Atalee for rounding out the YPBCo crew for the past 8 years! You guys rock!
A big bash is in the planning stages to celebrate this year - watch your inbox for our party invitation!
There is so much information out there that we would like to share with you to help your web project succeed, that we decided it would be best if we blogged it. This blog is our 2008-2012 archive. You can keep up to date on web news, resources, SEO and marketing trends, new technology, print and color trends and sometimes something just for fun at our NEW blog at yourplanb.com/thebuzz !
