It means your message (positive or negative) needs to ATTRACT customers.

‘Magnetize your message’
making your message sticky but not with glue as such is used by any tacky studio. the core of the message is created using rare earth magnets. it is quite strong and they are used also by Apple.

I own a small Satanic publication and I am interested in some brand work and custom info graphics. Would you be interested?

This is awesome. Loved your old site too, had it bookmarked for a long time. Nice work!

Fantastic site. I don't know how I've missed this completely in the past year. Really like the nav collapse aspect at the top when you scroll.
- See, I thought in this instance it was a little pointless - there's but a 20px gain om the drop? No biggie though! :)detritus
- It puts a little bit more focus on the content. I know it could scroll up and totally go away, but it's nice that it stays minimal.mg33
- minimal and accessible.mg33
- But, the content is prattleMr_Mxyzptlk

Solid work gramme. The nav is a bit glitchy on iPad2. When i scroll down and the nav bar jumps to the bottom of the screen it covers up the left and right directional buttons. Than it vanishes. I touch the right button and it appears again, covering the work slightly and buttons totally.

lol @ jesus and hfj.
Site is looking good gramme, not sure I get the complete change of direction though.

Lovely work, nice site. The kerning on your logo bugs me a bit though, particularly the a and g. Nice stuff though mate.
- You think ag is a bit tight? Could be the black/gray shift. No?gramme
- I agree, too tight even with the black graymonospaced
- At larger sizes, it looks OK to me. But I can see what you mean. Guess I should make a small/screen version. Might loosen the tracking overall.gramme

so nice. i like how after I look through one project it goes to the next :D
- love this as well.alicetheblue
- yeah... and I like the precise vertical scrolling that locks into the next project if I wish to move-onPonyBoy
- Thanks! That was a functionality addition, so people could just keep on using their arrow keys without clicking. :)gramme

Yes, there are two websites in this thread. Technically, I'm at version 4.0. The very first Metagramme website was built by QBNer fate in early 2006, if I remember correctly. That was strictly a portfolio site. All done in Flash, like the full-screen image/ black & gray version that came next (built by skt).
After living with it for a while, I didn't find the previous version (the scrolling one based on an Emil Olsson template) to be very engaging at all. Certainly not from a client's perspective. I'd even call it bland. It certainly had no use as a marketing tool. It was a fine model for a freelancer's portfolio, but not as a tool for creating conversations with potential clients.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but we're quite happy with the new look. The design is done, beyond a couple very minor details like hanging punctuation for pull quotes. Not sure how to automate that with our current UX. Besides that t's only still in progress in the sense that we'll add new content monthly. In terms of function, look, and feel, we'll park it here for at least the next 3–4 years.
