  • World Wide Web for dummies, not us
    “The world outside of you (yes, you) doesn’t like a lot of steps..(t)hey come online to get things done and more than likely you are preventing them from doing so. Stop it. Help them out and you will find they will help you out in return. The web doesn’t need to be dumbed down, it just needs to make more sense with a lot less steps.”
  • On Designers writing HTML
    “Modern web design covers so many areas of specialism — from HCI and IA through to Illustra­tion and dabbling with Javascript. To deem it necessary to write HTML to be a good web designer is really quite disrespectful to experts in those subsets of web design who never go near any HTML, yet have equal value to bring to a design project.”
