Nothing beats a good shootout

04:58 on Saturday, February 04, 2006 • 3 responses

pMachine is giving away a total of $15,000 in cash and prizes in their aptly-named $15,000 Web Design Shootout, and as if that wasn’t enough to prove they’re insane, they’ve invited me to be one of the judges. The panel of judges is a veritable who’s who of web design, and I’m both humbled and flattered to be considered a peer of such luminaries.

As many of you know, this site runs on pMachine’s ExpressionEngine. It’s as industrial-strength a content management system as you want it to be, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision I made over a year and a half ago. Whether you’ve recently published a site using a pMachine product, are looking to retool your current website, or put one up for the first time, you should fire up the downloads window of your browser and get crackin’!

Thank goodness I kept an archive of my previous weblog design. Does pMachines pay via PayPal?

I know three of the judges very well. How much would it cost to sway five more I wonder…

Crikey, whos-who indeed! And they managed to get a photo of you to!! I think you make a worthy inclusion on the panel - congrats.

$1K might even sway me to make a photoblog design…
