Well my website got hacked a few weeks back and I was unable to recover any of the information. Long story short I had to dig up all of my old content and start compiling all the files again. There are still a ton of designs (logos and fonts) that still need to be uploaded but it's a start for now.
Somebody is saying because my WordPress was not up to date that somebody was able to get into it somehow. I was probably overdue for a new site anyway so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
@Colin, haha I was heated originally :)
@Stelian, thanks man. Cargo ftw!
@Inka, thank you!
@Juani, appreciate the comment!
@Rudy, thanks my man…gonna take a while but that's okay.
@Julius, haha cheers! :)
@Brian, thanks for the info. I see what your'e saying and I'll definitely look into just using text on the contact page instead of it opening in your email app. Thanks man!
I'm so thrilled to see this, Joe! I mean, of course I'm not happy to hear about what happened to your old site, but it's good to see the positive side.
I really love how your typefaces are displayed. I was wondering how you'd approach that and I think it's perfect. For instance, I love flicking through the weights within Klinic Slab and seeing how it changes. The variety in presentation shots is just perfect too and it's really good how you've included the typeface info (language support, etc.) Can't wait to see all your typefaces in there.
The text on your services page is really nicely written and easy to read. My only criticism is the use of "we" (unless you have a bunch of hidden employees you've kept secret!) as I think it's awesome how varied your skills are as an individual, seems a shame to present it otherwise. On another note, I love the images in the font design section.
This comment is getting dangerously long, but I couldn't not mention that I really like how you have a 'crafting' page - it's a really good idea and so perfectly named.
@Nick, thanks man!
@Bob, thanks for the support! I got your email and feel free to let me know :)
@Sean, thanks for the nice words my man :)
@Ali, really appreciate it bud! :)
@Claire, haha don't your fingers get tired from typing so much? :) Thank you for noticing how the typefaces are displayed. As you know this is something I went back and forth on with many iterations before I got it to where I thought it was just right. They're very difficult to display. You know who does a great job of laying out type specimens that are clean and easy to read? HF&J. Always enjoy seeing those.
I definitely see what you mean about "we" and I considered removing it. It's just weird saying "I" in the about page for some reason. It just doesn't sound professional. Maybe I can use something like "Joe Prince strives to…", or anything like that instead. Will definitely look into it some more, but thanks as always for taking the time to comment! :)
@Milosz, haha I literally laughed out loud! :D This is not Nam, there are rules…
@Alex, haha wannabe is right! :P Thanks my man.
Cheers everyone - thanks for taking the time to check out the website! :)
Good idea, yeah I think third person would work well. Totally agree with you on HF&J type specimens & presentation (of course). I'll not hijack this space more than I already have done so I'll leave it at this, very nice work again!

Check it out!
It will take a long time to get everything back up on the website but I'm happy with how it's coming along so far.

Looks good, I think the amount of work on there is good enough. Quality over quantity.
On a side note...I hate when a top nav link "contact" is clicked and it opens up my mail app. ;)
