200 Market Building

An attractive, understated site for a Portland, OR office building, 200marketplace.com features a really keen animated menu, and some cool JavaScript-based layer trickery. If you need any office space in downtown, this is the place to go.

...Ohh…who am I kidding? You know why this page is here? It’s to provide another link to the aforementioned website. I swear, if you type “200 market building” or “200 market place” into Google, you get every damn site on the block (including this one), except the actual website. We can’t figure out why that is. I imagine it’s because Google looks at the site, sees mostly images, and raises its middle finger in disgust. We even tried to create a custom landing page, with nicely formatted text links, and submit that to Google, but no dice.

I guess, if all else fails, I’ll just redirect 200marketplace.com to Slashdot , and that should fix it.
