Haystack is now Sortfolio

Today we announce that Haystack is now called Sortfolio. The reason: trademark issues (full details). We kept the haystack.com domain name so the old haystack.com URLs redirect instantly to the new sortfolio.com URLs. No broken URLs, no interruption in service.

Now that Sortfolio is live, we can begin our promotional campaign again. We’ve got some big stuff planned including a special, innovative promotion we’ll be running on The Deck starting in a few days.

We will also be giving all current paying Sortfolio customers a free month to say we’re sorry for having to pull back on promo for about 45 days. Details on this will be emailed to our paying customers shortly.

So, if you’re looking for a web designer, or you’re a web designer looking for work, check out Sortfolio today. Continued success to everyone.

Haystack: Improved city, state, country navigation

We just made it easier to move between cities, states, and countries when browsing Haystack. This is a subtle, but important improvement.

When you're in a state (California, in this case), you see a list of the top cities in that state below California. See the pink highlighted band in this screenshot:

When you're in a city (San Francisco, in this case), you see a list of the top cities and a link to the state under San Francisco. See the pink highlighted band in this screenshot:

And when you're in a country (the United Kingdom, in this case), you see a list of the top cities in that country below United Kingdom. See the pink highlighted band in this screenshot:

This really makes moving between cities, states, and countries a lot easier. You no longer have to go back to the main city, state, country listing page to navigate nearby locations.

Thanks again for using Haystack!

Launch: Haystack — the perfect place for designers and clients to meet

Do you ever ask: “Can you recommend a web designer to help us with a project?” Or “Do you know any good web design firms in Chicago? Or New York? Or Denver?” Now you can find the answer at Haystack. It's a site created by 37signals where web designers (firms and freelancers) can answer the three basic questions a client typically asks at the beginning of a search:

• What does your work look like?


• Where are you located?


• What’s your typical budget range?
