Introducing | Por Homme v3

Hope everyone’s having a great Labor Day. I’m really excited to officially unveil to you the third iteration of porhomme.com. In the past, our primary focus has been to deliver outstanding content and we’d like to think that we did a pretty decent job in doing that. From a design-point however, I have always felt that there was something missing. Por Homme v3 looks to solve this and I hope you all dig it as much as we do.

I worked closely with Georgia-based Matt Yow on the logo design. I had a vision for it and he brought it to reality. His work is a testament to his creativity and dedication. Shout outs to him for all his help.

There are some key things to note in PH v3, so allow me to briefly run through those. The top navigation bar keeps things organized, and gives you access to all the key pages of the site in a pretty efficient manner. Navigation by category is still here but it’s been tucked under the “Category” drop-down. On the same bar, look to the right and you can hit the RSS logo or mail envelope to subscribe to our feed via reader or email. Other ways to connect with us are via Twitter, Facebook or Technorati, all of which are located atop the sidebar with their respective logos. If you haven’t already, definitely join the PH community, we’d really appreciate your support.

People love sharing our content and so we’ve kept the ability to share via Twitter and also added a Short URL option in case you’d like to shoot it out via another medium. The short URL is by bit.ly and tied in to our bit.ly account so you can share with some peace of mind. People will question me for removing the FB “Like” links and the Fanbox. To keep the site running smooth and look as seamless as possible, something had to go. Did anyone else think those links were a bit tacky?

We wanted to deliver our content in a more refined package and I hope PH v3 will make reading and sharing our news simpler and a bit easier on the eyes. If you’ve got any suggestions or just wanted to say hi, get in touch. Thank you again for your continued support!
