DevBridge.com - Retrospective

The DevBridge name was brought to life by our architect Tomas seven years ago, yet there was very little of what one would call a company back then. Ideas were a plenty, however, and several years later a tiny basement office was established to house the sapling organization. After surviving biblical computer destroying floods we moved to a much larger second floor. Now life outside the lava lamp illuminated office renders in shades of unreality and neither of us can remember what it feels like to not wear jeans to the office or play matches of chess during our breaks.

The move to the new office looming just a week away I felt all nostalgic and decided to post some of the iterations of the DevBridge website. I find it amusing as the style and message of the website really reflects how we have grown as a business and how our own perception of what we offer has changed.

The first design I made for DevBridge. The main picture is a bridge in Kaunas - a town where most of us are from.

This was a stage where I was high on themed pages for websites. DevBridge takes you for a mystical trip with a pirate ship... or something. Not sure how this is related to web development, but we liked it at the time.

Another iteration - this time inspired by Dragon Interactive. I started really enjoying simple, neutral designs at this point.

This is the current design which focuses mostly on content and typography as the founding blocks of the site itself. I have also adapted a methodology where we don't redesign the whole site at a time but upgrade it by section and let it morph on it's own.
