Puzzles 4U – 20th September 1997

The creation of the website that soon became BrainBashers. The first design was very simple but set the trend for blue for the next 13 years.

These dates are when the main look of the site changed, and each image represents the site during that phase.

BrainBashers – May 2010

This was a minor change on one hand, as the main content remained the same, but a large one on the other as the main blue on the left and top was removed. This brought the site up-to-date in terms of freshness, speed, and simplicity.
