Nice name. (We're Untyped.com, based in Birmingham)

Some unsolicited advice:

- Who is your market? At the moment your website only targets
people who already use Haskell. If you're looking at getting work
from Galois and maybe the odd bank that's fine. If you want work from
a more general market you need to talk about what problems of theirs
you can solve (e.g. web development, scientific computing, high
availability systems). Haskell is a tool for solving problems, not a
solution in its own right.

- Describe some projects you've worked on, even if they're non-
commercial

- Create a blog

- The following CSS will centre your web page, which to my eye is
more appealing:

#everything {
width: 50em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

Good luck!
Noel

We weren't aware that there was an "untyped" when we chose the name,
although a couple of people have since asked if yours was our
inspiration.

Great minds, and all that :-)

All advice gratefully received, thanks!

Thanks, and the same to you!

If I start a consultancy for the Silicon Valley area, I'll have to
choose a name more in tune with the locally prevailing fashions (Ruby on
Rails, Django, etc) and go for gradually-typed.com.

Will that make "...typed.com" the "...r.com" (as in flickr, dopplr, etc)
of the FP community?
