Yes, there are two websites in this thread. Technically, I'm at version 4.0. The very first Metagramme website was built by QBNer fate in early 2006, if I remember correctly. That was strictly a portfolio site. All done in Flash, like the full-screen image/ black & gray version that came next (built by skt).
After living with it for a while, I didn't find the previous version (the scrolling one based on an Emil Olsson template) to be very engaging at all. Certainly not from a client's perspective. I'd even call it bland. It certainly had no use as a marketing tool. It was a fine model for a freelancer's portfolio, but not as a tool for creating conversations with potential clients.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but we're quite happy with the new look. The design is done, beyond a couple very minor details like hanging punctuation for pull quotes. Not sure how to automate that with our current UX. Besides that t's only still in progress in the sense that we'll add new content monthly. In terms of function, look, and feel, we'll park it here for at least the next 3–4 years.
