According to a friend of mine, this is a big deal in the web design world.
I voted for Christopher, but looks like the BBC website will beat him out, at least it's a good one though, gotta love those Essential Mixes!!!
Anyway, congrats to Christopher for this, it's good to see a dance music website getting nominated. |

Everything that Eric Jordan at 2Advanced designs creates a big stir. He does all the big corporate stuff like Ford etc. I have followed his career for years - he's a god in the web world.
Wonder how Lawrence hooked up with him?
It is a damn fine website, probably the first and last time a Dj will get nominated for one of these awards. |
