Site of the week:

Lots of people are talking about Simple, the new system that lets you do all your banking online and via your iphone. 

Sadly, the service isn't here in Australia yet. But we're drooling over their website. Like many new sites, Simple is a one page website. This one is great. Great copywriting, clear and intuitive navigation, and a beautiful registration form. Definitely worth checking it out.

See you again next week ...
