Keeping with our responsive tone for the week, have a look here. You won’t be disappointed. There are some amazing things to see here. If you are a client stuck in the humdrum of websites done before, this is the site you should spin through. http://www.awwwards.com/
A question that comes up here time, and time again is “should we go responsive?” followed by “what are the pros and cons?”. Of late, this comes on the order of nearly every project. As such we thought it warranted a quick blurb on why this technology is a bit more than a passing trend and rather a way it “should” be done moving forward. First, let’s cover what it is for anyone who does not already know. In short, it is a single base of code that will determine the device you are on and make visual, and
Ever look at Google and wonder how in the world it actually works the way it does? If we didn’t do this all the time professionally I could easily see how this would be, almost literally, rocket science. To most this is a very baffling, extremely frustrating, process.

In what can only be described as one of the single best articles ever written on an age-old theory of “payback is a b!*$#” we offer you this… http://now.msn.com/dmitry-agarkov-outwits-russian-bank-by-writing-own-credit-card-terms Let this be the ultimate lesson to you on both how to beat the banks at their own game as well, read your contracts; always.

In this case I actually love it, but had this been your statement of work, perhaps you would be less thrilled.
