this is a great idea. Now that I have a company website (http://interactiveblend.com), I think my personal site should be simpler like yours.

Were you inspired to create a site like this because of mobile browsing? looks like it serves that purpose perfectly….

Funny, this site (Komodo Media) actually gave me inspiration for the redesign of my own site… Anyways, Tim’s site looks great, as well as yours… I love the simplicity, and the excellent use of javascript to get between pages. The effect is great!

Certain ideas are so basic that I don’t think one person can claim them. It’s entirely possible that multiple people could’ve (or did) come up with this simple, elegant idea concurrently. Of course, that’s not what happened here. Both are similar (in IA, essentially) but completely different (in design and personality). Both are equally well-done. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Started making a website like these two immediately after seeing Tim’s great website but didn’t had the time to finish it yet.

Also felt a bit guilty for taking Tim’s cool concept but it’s the nature of good ideas to become adopted and a source of inspiration. It’s like Tim invented the concept of a car here and made a Lamborghini out of it while you took the same concept and made a Ferrari out of it.

And finally congrats to you both for having such short names so your URLs aren’t that long ;-)

@Tim Van Damme – People get a bit jumpy about this. After I was inspired by your site, I intentionally told people that I was inspired by it when showing them my mockups. There were a few times when a friend would input:

Rogie, that looks too much like Tim’s site.

That would then give me creative direction to take my design in a different direction.

Once again, thanks for the great work Tim. Cheers!

“That’s what inspiration is: Taking an idea, and making it your own.”

true, true words.
Both design are excellent. Wish I was inspiration to someone sometime in future.
