A Reinvigoration of the Web

May 1st Reboot is an international relaunch of web sites by authors and creatives working within the field of Web Design.

As a collective event it makes a manifest demonstration of the very idea of community. It is, quite simply, an indeterminate group of designers subscribing to one event in order to publicize their work at one specific time across any number of different locations. And it is in that sense that it is most interesting to us, and by extension to those involved in or entering the world of Web Design online.

"Reboot inspires us to celebrate collaboration around the world. Collaboration is the glue that holds the online design community together and keeps it moving forward with fresh ideas. May 1st Reboot is the grand celebration of those collaborative efforts."
