Programming Note

If you've noticed a lack of posts for the last few days, fear not. We've been working hard to roll out a new design and should be launching real shortly. The new design will cleaner and simpler and we hope you will have some good stuff to say about it.

Devolution or Evolution?

It seems almost every day, I come across a new XHTML coding service, a company that will take your design and turn around XHTML/CSS in some short amount of time. There must be a burgeoning need for these, considering how many there are. Smashing Magazine recently did...

Crackerjack

The web design world, if you pay attention to many of the css and webdesign gallery sites, can seem a bit insular. Seemingly every few months, a new design accouterment pops up out of nowhere and is seemingly on every site. A past example of this is what I'll call the...

An Unmatched Sale

I Screwed Up

Last year I ran a design contest and then didn't award the $1,500 prize. Needless to say, that wasn't received well. Then I made the problem worse by refusing to discuss it openly here. I did discuss it with each of the four designers that submitted entries, and all...

design fckr™

A big thanks to Nate for pointing me to the new design blog, design fckr™. I subscribe to very few blogs, but this one just went into my list. It's a great mix of humor, creativity and design expertise. Check out the list of free color scheme resources, for...

Tis’ the Season

Well I guess it is the Christmas season again, I only know this because people are driving like idiots, stores are crowded, everyone is cranky and it is freezing where I live. Yes it truly is the most treacherous time of the year.Anyhow, I always like to celebrate so...

Introducing….

Due to some instances I will not be able to fully take care of Unmatched Style for an undefined amount of time, in fact you might have already noticed the slacking the last 2 weeks. However, thanks to my friends in the 9rules Network I have managed to find some...
