« South Carolina License Plates Feature Web Site

After 10 years of the “Smiling Faces, Beautiful Places” slogan, South Carolina is changing up their license plate design.

I know, I know. License plates are not exactly “technology news”. But I am mentioning North Carolina’s neighbor to the, er, south because their new license plate is going to feature South Carolina’s tourism website: TRAVEL2SC.COM. So, this post IS somewhat related to web design .

Both the new plate and the web site look very nice. I think they did a very nice job. But I am a little disappointed that South Carolina chose a web design firm from Arkansas. I find it hard to believe that they could not find a South Carolina web design company to create the new web site to represent South Carolina tourism.

I am sure that they sent out RFPs and did everything by the book, but I would have thought that a SC company would have almost done that site at cost just to have the feather in their cap.
