After two years of being in service, StyleWorks of Union Square wanted a fresh look to their website design. The old site, while still functioning, used older photos and a richer color scheme than the fresher look the client wanted to portray.

The first thing we did was to install the latest version of Joomla content management system and port much of the content from the existing site.

Today, Studio 23 launched a new site called Disfluency.com which contains bits and pieces of design postings from around the web loosely tied together on the theme of disfluency—the art of making things difficult. Disfluency is a break or interruption in a visual flow of elements. It implies a disjointed nature of elements which can lead to effective or disastrous communications as a result. On the one hand, creating messages that challenge the reader can make those messages more effective and memorable. However, too little structure leads to chaos and anarchy. The right balance is the goal of any good designer. Stay tuned.
