Seems like both Webtrade and Arekibo have updated their sites. Any thoughts?

Can webtrade say "web 2.0" ? - It looks like they missed the first wave of 2.0 sites, and are over compensating with their current load of crap.

Arekibo looks nice and clean

Sorry, I though webtrade was a hotel booking company with those links on the footer and a booking engine built into the site.

Also, why show a W3C logo when the site doesn't validate? Is that a developer thing???

Arekibo looks grand though, the design is very clean.

Well spotted, Ken.

Not impressed by either. Very standard stuff.

But check out the Irish Indo article on Webtrade, quoted on their site:

"They need to invest in a content management system..."

I'd love to send each of their clients a few links to Expression Engine, Drupal, Joomla... ;-)

I wonder how much "Siternity" would set you back.

Absolutely. Most clients will only require an off-the-shelf solution such as Expression Engine (being my CMS of choice). Investing in a bespoke CMS is a silly notion for 90% of commercial sites when an open-source CMS will do a better job for a fraction of the price and which doesn't tie the client down to a single vendor.
