Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 3:06 PM Website design by John
I'm not a big fan of ZDNet, not that it's a bad website, I just can do without volumes of stuff to read about that I never intend to act upon.
But, every now and then you read a quote that captures a sentiment better than you could ever frame, and ZDNet had one for me today on the subject of why Macromedia/Adobe Flash sucks.
Quote:
Flash-based web sites are quite possibly one of the most useful pieces of network technology around. Like heroin or microlights, they ensure that those who think it's a good idea aren't around to annoy us for too long. Advertisements
What else is there to say?
I only wish I could explain the anti-bling idea to clients.

Welcome!
Wonder where to start with your web design business?
This blog follows along with my efforts to build and grow a website design business, Pro Content and Design.
The goal of this blog is to fill in blanks that may be empty as you get your business rolling.
This blog, particularly the source code section, is not intended for beginners. If you are not comfortable with databases, Ajax, DOM objects and other advanced methods, I strongly suggest you go take a look over at W3 Schools before even reading -- let alone tinkering with -- any of the code here.
I hope this blog has some value to web designers as they attempt to get their businesses going.
Good luck, and happy reading.
Thank you,
John Crawford

Books
I highly recommend Art of the Start if you have no idea where to start with marketing.
