A free job board for Vancouver web and tech heads

For a few months now, I’ve been working on a little side project named vancouverwebjobs.com. The basic premise was to create a free job board service for Vancouver web designers and techies. I played around with the idea of making it a pay board, but after some consideration I decided to go the ad supported route, and keep the actual board free.

Welcome to the new Cardeo Blog

Well it’s been a little over year since I started this blog, so I was thinking it was time for an updated look. My main goal was to improve the typography and to make the layout more minimal.

Currently, I’m still in Beta mode and will be doing some testing over the next few days, so please bear with me. If you notice any bugs, it would be much appreciated if you could post them as a comment on this post. I’m also open to feedback on the new design. Thanks for reading!
