The first version of Svpply. Launched in the Fall of 2009.
A couple sorta interesting things about this design:
- Lots of whitespace gave us an immediate sense of luxury.
- Like a greasy wrench in the middle of a fashion runway, the browser-default checkboxes on the top right were deliberately left there to make men feel more welcome. We tried removing them once, and the site took an immediate turn towards the feminine.

About this project:
Svpply is a collection of the best products from across the web, found and posted by its community of members.
Launched as a side-project in 2009-2010 with Eric Jacobsen and Zach Klein, Svpply was later funded by a handful of great investors and ultimately sold to eBay in the Fall of 2012.
