I just finished uploading the first version of Shahab Laboratory’s new website, shahablab.com. I did all of the graphics in Macromedia Fireworks and the whole site is running on the Ruby on Rails framework. The site sparingly uses AJAX where appropriate; for instance the rates page uses AJAX to dynamically get the procedure description; and the comments page also uses to provide a more friendly interface. Let me know what you think.

After this experience with Rails I am thinking of moving my website to a Rails based site. Drupal is awesome but I would like to have more control plus I want to actually base my website on something that I made myself. Considering the amount of things that I have on plate and the fact that I will be taking a month long vacation in February (i.e. all of February :)) this change will probably be coming around June or July of this year.
