Today I launched a new rework of buoyantdata.com thanks to the work of a designer I found in the fediverse! The original “design” of the site was something I had cobbled together with a Jekyll theme I originally ported to Cobalt, but it was always lacking.
The release of Delta Lake The Definitive Guide offered motivation to update the site to help prospective customers understand what Buoyant Data can do for them. I asked around on Mastodon for recommendations for a web designer in the US would would be open to a short-term contract to perform some renovations.
Ben Sulzinsky was one of the talented folks who reached out to offer to help and we quickly turned a lot of ideas around.
I am quite pleased with Ben’s work. He did a fantastic job taking a laundry list of both highly-specific and rather vague requirements, and turning them into re-usable components, structure, and styles. I would certainly recommend you work with him too!
Periodically I’ll see solicitations to be #fedihired in Mastodon, I’m happy to have been able to fedi-hire somebody! (even if only for a short-term contract)
