If you're tired of being told why your designs cannot make it to the web, we need to talk.
Sure, there are special considerations when designing for the web just like with print, video or any other medium, but the restrictions are much fewer than your average code monkey would lead you to believe.
We all have our secrets. Hopefully, you will still want to work together after you find out mine.

It's ok, you are not alone. Besides, a little fear is understandable since websites can be mysterious, uncontrollable, demanding little beasts always needing more attention then you can give. Kind of like children except websites never grow up and move out on their own.
Managing a website can be a lesson in chaos theory. Feature lists grow, expectations of your site increase and just keeping up with the basic web technologies can be a full-time job.

Translation: You do not have to call a web designer every time you need to add a page, change a date or add a photo. Even non-technical users can make changes. You can find out more about how I do this in the "my approach" and "the toolbox" sections of this site.
This is my little corner to chronicle my adventures in all things web including CSS, HTML, TYPO3, PHP and whole host of other acronyms.
