Designrlink and Topofthenet

Part of being a desinger/developer is filling open gaps in the market. The sites I’m building wont. Well not exactly. There are dozens of CSS Gallleries, and honestly I’m quite sick of them. The problem is, what else are you supposed to do with a domain called Topofthe.net? A toplist? I think not.

The other one is also user-generated, but its about collecting links to decent design/development articles. The thing I like about these sites is that they have the same design. I’m a sucker for uniformity. Am I hinting may be the start of a long list of sites , maybe turning into a network? I dont know.

I’ve been working on these sites sporadically over the summer. But things are taking a turn for the better, I’m working faster than usual, and I hope to have at least one online before the weekend is over.

Why? First and foremost, I’m doing this to fill out my portfolio (which is coming soon, honest!!). Secondly its gonna make me think, something I havent had to do since mid-May. And thirdly I’ve domains to use and I’ve been putting it off for much too long.

Stay tuned.
