Our site traffic increased 500% as our site has appeared on design inspiration websites across the globe.

About a week ago, I posted our URL to one of the many CSS design resource sites as a bit of an experiment. Over the last few days, we’ve seen our site traffic increase 500% as our site has appeared on design inspiration sites from here to China.

In the past, I’ve been reluctant to submit our work to many award sites (probably because I’m such a perfectionist that I’m never fully satisfied with a project), but with the new lift site, it was time to start getting our name out there in a broader sense. Although our site isn’t 100% complete, it looks pretty darn good and it deserves to be seen. It’s been really cool to see our site show up in some of the RSS feeds that I read everyday. Along with the the mini ego-boost and great reviews, we’ve also started getting emails from around the world with encouraging comments and referrals.

Here’s a list of some of the sites that have given us a nod in the past weeks.
