A decade of good website design

Web Design June 27th, 2008

The web looks very different today than it did 10 years ago.

We have a new menu on our site!

Web Design June 25th, 2008

OMdeSIGN.co.uk has a new drop-down menu! We had a fantastic feedback from people who decided to visit our site - they all love our new layout but some of them reported they found it hard to find certain information on our site -  especially those considering our bespoke web designs.

We hope with those changes in place our visitors will find it more intuitive to navigate through our site ;-)
