If you've built websites as long as we have (since 1995), you can often tell when a site was built just by how it looks and the trends of the time.

A trend we love is having just one big, beautiful image on the homepage, with no graphical boundries. It is elegant in its simplicity, and you'll see us building more sites like this in the coming months. One site that uses this trend is Pinkberry. We love everything about both the website and the product. Yum!
