As you look at the screen you might feel familiar somehow. Maybe with the fine colors and style. The relaunch is not only about giving the site a new appearance, but is rather adding the hole spreadshirt-thing a new complexity. It’s about “community driven companies” as Ami, one of the mrpropper-guys (stay tuned for the interview), mentioned in a magazine articel lately. Maybe you sold something on a ebay? Commented on a blog-post? Designed a t-shirt yet? The point is to get the people interacting with each other. Talking. Focused.
So why not use the spreadshirt-website as a platform? A way to start networking. To meet other people in love with shirts and design. Fiend friends. Just talk. Discuss. Let’s say: You think, we print.

After fridays’ talks comes mondays work. A lot of work. Sometimes we need the help of external partners. One of them is Thomas. He is a freelancer, caring especially for content management and databases.

The main thing is to keep the people connected. Internal messaging is constantly raising, the wiki grows faster and friday is the day everything comulates in the weekly meeting. Just to proof traffic gets even more the next week. A lot of things going on in the spreadshirt HQ. The best is still to come.

I’m kind of uptight. Here we go. A screenshot. Not only a screenshot. It’s like looking into the future. And future is looking two point zero. Form not following function. Look, they go hand in hand.

Been to the forum yet? Everything fine? Cool. But some guys weren’t satisfied, so we had do to something. For example improve the way how to manage the products in the shop administration. Now one can sort products by categories. You name it. We sort it. And that’s not all. You can set a distinction between private and public products. That means there are products only you can see/order and there are products all of your visitors are able to buy. Fine?

Checking the OLP-blog day by day? Tired of Excited waiting for the relaunch? Get in touch. Start getting involved. Ever been to the forum? Geeks may check the developers-platform. It’s you we’re doing this for. Wait: doing it togehter sounds even better. Ok, we would like to earn some money too. But having our Partners satisfied is the main priority. (And it helps making money indeed)

OLP-blog extended version. We decided not to spend much time doing graphics and stuff (we ain’t got time, because we work hard). But we wanted to kick usability to a level we can go on with. As you can see: a third column showed up. There you can stay in touch with the original OLP-content, find the foto-gallery and other related stuff. The Focus still is on the relaunch of our website, so in future there will be more reports on progress, the guys involved, some features presented…

Telling you that we are busy gets boring after a while. We are exceedingly busy. You see, I have to. For today let me drop a number: 35.000 working hours are estimated to get the new site up and running. Impressing, huh? One of the guys given up counting the hours is Manuel.

Since we fill “freshest of the fresh” content (we hope you appreciate!) in an old shape here, we decided to participate at the CSS Reboot Day on 1st of November. So be prepared to find a new surface on this blog at the next wednesday.

You already know: we work hard. Did I mention? Maybe you are also interested in what we do? How the work is structured. Who is responsible for which task that comes up? From time to time, there will be interviews with the guys involved in the redesign of the spreadshirt-webside called MrPropper. To keep clean of copyright violations: our MrPropper is spelled with double p and makes everything better, useable and fine. The guy with the solitary p simply helps you doing the housework.

For today - lets say…start with the IT:
