It’s been a while that 07Designs.com has been refreshed and updated. So today I am going to start working on the next iteration of my main site. This redesign will also be part of a ‘remodel’ that 07Designs will undergo. Meaning that the way it’s presented will change a little and incorporate all of the projects I’m working on. Currently I have neglected to update the home page and that has been a big mistake. Hopefully with the next update, I can fix this problem and get 07 back on its feet.

On the subject of change, I would like to highlight an article I recently read in the latest Wired issue. The article talks about why $0.00 is the future of business. (The article is available online, but support the magazine and buy it!) The article really inspired me to look at 07 and make a big decision. I’ve decided to make a promise that all software, both desktop and online applications, that gets produced or published by 07 will be free to everyone.

Might there be a premium membership? Currently, I have no plans to incorporate any sort of premium in my current and future projects. How do I survive, where do I get money? Well, I’ll get money from other places. Work, minimal ads on my projects, donations. Why make this announcement? Some of my projects might not be worth a cent, but I still want people to know that even if I create an application that’s simply amazing, it won’t come at a price to you.

On the subject of free things, I created a small widget for NewsPond.com that displays the latest news from their RSS feeds. More information here.
