smashing magazine recently posted a list of 49 web sites that have what they consider to be “ simple, clean, sometimes even minimalistic designs, which all stick closely to one single principle - Keep It Simple, Stupid!.”  It was a neat surprise to see the visitmix site at #16, with credit going to our own Tim Aidlin for the design and Mekanism for the original creative.

REMIX the MIX home page and your original design could be your ticket to MIX07. As many of you might remember from the REMIX MIX06 contest, the MIX site is written in Cascading Style Sheets. This makes it easy for designers to change the entire look and feel of the site with a stroke of the mouse. We’d like you to do just that: change the look and feel of the MIX07 home page. Create one of the top three designs and you will receive paid registration to the conference, three nights at the Venetian hotel and $1000 towards your travel expenses!
