Yesterday saw a bit of a kufuffle on Twitter over Jakob Nielsen’s latest post about mobile and responsive design. Many saw it as an attack on responsive design and there is no doubt Nielsen did use s...
I wanted to share with you a quick review of a new web application called Workfu. Workfu provides a ‘smart profile’ for your professional life. Think of it as a simplified (and in my opinion better) ...
As the enforcement date of 26 May 2012 approaches, we provide an update on the situation. Much has been written, and is being written, about the new so-called Cookie Law that the UK Information Commi...
I recently wrote a post entitled “contributing to the web” where I encouraged others to share what they have learnt and contribute to the development of our industry. It is a subject I fe...
You have to admire Adobe at the moment. They seem to be pushing out new apps at a rate of knots and not just upgrades to the traditional creative suite. In the last couple of months we have seen the ...
I am a visual person, so when I’m working on a site I find it incredibly useful to picture the person I’m designing for. That is where personas come in. They make the user real and that t...
For sometime now I have been running a full day workshop called “Running a successful web design business”. It is a workshop that ties in closely with my book “Client Centric Web De...
For me the web has always been about contributing rather than consuming. Don’t get me wrong I learn a huge amount from the web everyday. However, the web was always meant to be a medium you con...
