Building a website: just do it.

- Adam Beilman, President

It's finally here.

2 and a half years of ruminating and plotting and designing. Trying out domain names and rejecting stack after stack of "new logo ideas" 18 months after the logo had been decided upon.

Yeah, this happened.

If there's anything I've learned about the process of making a website, it's from Nike. All the time spent researching and sketching could have been spent with trial and error. Find someone that knows design and make it happen. In the time we spent pondering design ideas, any one of us could have been experts on HTML, CSS, Javascript, and probably French, too.

There was seriously about a month-long discussion on going to this.

Having a web presence is made out to be way more than it needs to. Small businesses, for example, are still afraid to jump in for fear that the water is too cold. It's 2011; having a website for any organization is as important as having a phone number. Hell, TNH doesn't have a phone number (that's a lie, we do have a university landline in our "office"...I may have used it to kill a spider in there before).

Our site will be evolving in style and content from here on out. I was told making an account on Blogger was as outdated as an AIM profile the other day, so apparently we're already behind. But we made one giant leap for agency kind in finally getting online, and we're damn proud of it.
