		<description><![CDATA[The new barely average design website went live last week. So far, the reaction&#8217;s been really great. Clients and friends have gotten in touch, saying how much they like it, etc. But there&#8217;s a problem that the new site doesn&#8217;t solve &#8212; and it&#8217;s a big problem.
