Dare to compare
In a sentence
“4x6: Your home page reimagined—for when less is more.”
The concept
4x6 offers your home page like never before imagined—an integrated, continually updated source of news and information. We call it “wire” style; as our content providers update their websites, we push the updates to your home page. There aren’t any widgets to clutter your view or any obtuse design decisions to interfere with your browsing.
If you’re looking for a clean but powerful home page, look no further than 4x6. Get started today by creating a free account. It only takes a minute.
