Arctic summer is in mid-season but ArcticStartup goes forward. I’m excited to present our new design which I have been working with for a while.
Our goal with the design was to make the content more appealing and declutter the site. In addition to design, I revisited our whole Wordpress installation, plugins and files to make the site faster and cleaner.
Another big change is that, due of requests from our readers, the content is now tabbed into categories: Digital (the ‘classic’ ArcticStartup) and Cleantech.
Discussion is something we very much like to encourage here in ArcticStartup. For that reason, comments are now threaded and separated from trackbacks. We’re also planning to bring some other improvements to make the discussion more meaningful.
If you need to browse older posts, the Archive is back. Team page is now merged with About page.
So what do you think? Did we nail it, or do you still prefer the old design? Give us your feedback, either to info at arcticstartup dot com or in comments.

Simple, nice and clean – elegant evolution of the Arctic look & feel. Congrats!
Looks clean, efficient. Good job :)
yeps, udo++
Nice clean design!
Looking very good!
I like it, good work!
Looks good! One wish: you can’t now access old articles through category/tag based listing? That would be nice to have somewhere, for example on the Archives section.
Nice improvements, however you should check out your site with IE7 too ;) All text is centered (dunno if it is or not on other browsers). At least comments look quite silly when those are centered. Also your search button jumps off from it’s row.
Asmo, thanks. Yeah surely there should be listings for categories and tags. I will add those as soon as I can.
Arto, thanks for the report. I didn’t have IE7 available yesterday. Need to check it out.
Looking good!
I am always a little confused by the “Discussion” headlines in the right column. The link is on the sender’s name, which would indicate that it points to a profile of the sender rather than to the post.
Great job!
Good job!
