Who Can Do This Stuff?
Web Site Building is still a young art form. Most designers begin with a love of computers and a fascination with the craft of site creation. A healthy excitement for creative expression is a must, as well as a toolbox full of diverse knowledge.
A careful designer must love to test the limits when applicable, and to hold back as needed. A good web site is determined by its content, not its "bling." A great web site is measured by its aesthetics, functionality and ease-of-use.
