#May1Reboot

If you’re a designer, maker, developer, artist or anything that is somehow related to design. Whatever you wanna refresh your portfolio or you haven’t update it in a while (some ages like me), we should all mark our calendar for May 1st. Why? Because it’s the May1Reboot, a day in the year where we celebrate for every makers of the industry by committing ourselves to that date. Presented by Semplice, on May 1 there’s no excuses. We should all take part and it’s going to be fun.

A global celebration for every designer and maker. May1Reboot is for the love of design, for the passion of play and commitment to our community.

May 1st Reboot is an international relaunch of websites and portfolios by designers, developers & makers around the world. Every year, on May 1st something magical happens. Thousands of designers relaunch or update their website at the same time. One global deadline for all of us.

Do I need to completely relaunch my website?

Everything counts, but of course, the more the better. You don’t have to fully relaunch your website, even a major update would count to particpate in May1Reboot. All that counts is that we all do something fresh & new for May 1st.
