Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.
JEFFREY ZELDMAN

All of these factors cascade into the final product.
KEVIN POTTS

ROBIN PERKINS

MANDY BROWN

If it’s a good idea and it gets you excited, try it, and if it bursts into flames, that’s going to be exciting too. People always ask, ‘What is your greatest failure?’ I always have the same answer—We’re working on it right now, it’s gonna be awesome!
JIM COUDAL

Design is intelligence made visible.
ALINA WHEELER
