Site of the Week #25

You may have noticed an uptick in the number of sites appearing in the showcase in the past week. I discovered some parsing errors resulting from design updates to a couple of the galleries, which meant not all sites were being parsed correctly.

From that imposing list this week I’ve chosen the website of Makalu Interactive.
