Springtime in Paris

1635 days ago

It's Norwegian Independence Day (again) and in honor of my ancestors' holiday, Capgemini (headquartered in France) has released their new look website, powered by a CMS I had a hand in building.
They have some nifty navigation that lets you drill down with a spectrum of breadcrumbs down the right side of the page. It is no small task to get a new website launched at a giant company, but François got it done.
And it validates!
The best part is that I no longer have to say that I built a Linux/PHP/MySQL-powered CMS for a global consulting firm last year, but it hasn't launched yet so I can't really say who it is...

CapGemini.com redesign is great job. But, why does the site resemble Eds.com (or maybe the other way round!) in many ways?

EDS.com relaunched in late 2004. The Capgemini design was done in early 2004, but no one saw it until May of 2005.
Must be one of those "independently coming up with the same design" things. I don't know what EDS.com looked like before their redesign, but they have some details about their love for web standards here:
