If you're a small business, there's no doubt you need a web presence. But why mess around with novice tools like FrontPage, only to create an amateurish-looking home page? Here's an interesting idea from Jung von Matt - A swedish advertising designer. [update - Jung von Matt is a full ad ...

zooomr_fresh_logo_on000_280.gif
