For the record, this was going to be the title but it didn't fit:

"The small company I work with, Metalab, has just launched a new estimating and invoicing web app for under 10k with no VC. It's called Ballpark, check it out."

Thanks for the comments on the design, all of the credit for that goes to the main Metalab guy, Andrew Wilkinson, see more here http://www.metalabdesign.com

amazing portfolio site. Any suggestions on best way to learn your style of design/javascript?

i really like their style too. it looks like they use mootools and jquery for most of the javascript effects, and as far as the look goes... you could play around with PNGs, bevels, gradients, and strokes to get a similar style.

You should really have some more sites in your portfolio that don't use H&FJ's Gotham Black for all the headings/buttons.

Admittedly, we do have a bit of an obsession with Gotham. It's our Helvetica.
