About this site's lack of design: Yes, it's supposed to look this way — I'm helping create a new sandbox theme for WordPress (see it on GitHub).

Introducing Sidebar Creative

Today, a new team is born. No, it’s not a new com­pany (per se), but a col­lec­tive of devel­op­ers and design­ers who all share the same goals, run their own con­sul­tan­cies, are active in the web stan­dards com­mu­nity, and want big­ger and bet­ter things for the web community.

We are authors, design­ers, pro­gram­mers, and thinkers. We love XHTML/CSS, we cham­pion usabil­ity while striv­ing for good looks (in our designs ;) and we love branding.

The list really goes on and on (we get along really well, we’re all musi­cians, etc.) but the most impor­tant thing is that together, we will be able to tackle larger projects than we could on our own (and per­haps more impor­tantly, larger clients may approach us as a group where they might not indi­vid­u­ally) and have a ton of fun in the process.

So, who are we? As indi­vid­u­als, you may know the gang as Steve Smith, Jon Snook and Bryan Veloso. You can even lis­ten to us ram­ble on about it on a brand new episode of Live from the 101. But it’s the sum of the parts that really makes this exciting.

We are Side­bar Cre­ative, and we’re just get­ting started.

    @Scrivs: aww shucks, you’re only say­ing that because the other 3 are in 9rules ;)

    Nice! Best of luck to you all. Now some­one bet­ter hurry up and reply to my email — I had the bud­get slider set to $500,000+ for cry­ing out loud. If I’m going to drop half a mil­lion, I expect a prompt reply… :p

    Awe­some. Super-nova of tal­ent. Sad to see that not much orange made into the Side­bar site design. Best of luck in the endeavor!

    @all: thanks for the well-wishes. We’re already field­ing requests, and we’re look­ing for­ward to doing great things together.

    @Ryan: we have a patent-pending BS fil­ter built into that slider ;)

    @Nathan: Orange might slip in there at some point, once we build out a full site. I’d also like to see some green (ala Snook) — of course, the cur­rent color scheme is actu­ally my doing, not Steve’s or Bryan’s (though it “feels” like their blogs).

    Hmm… guess that explains it. Time to go out­smart your BS filter. ;)

    Nice! I’ll wait for the first fruits of your labor in sus­pense. Good luck!

    Just in case you hadn’t heard the offi­cial con­grat­u­la­tions that I gave to Bryan…Congratulations, man! Like every­one has said, I’m seri­ously excited to see what you guys are able to accom­plish. Good luck!
