I think it was a good decision, because we were able to launch some slick new pages in December and get some feedback on the design once it was live. We used this feedback, and our experience from rolling out the first design, to make tweaks when we rebranded. Here's a comparison of the V40z pages in the two different designs."   continued ...   (Via Sun)
