Time to Put on the Big Boy Pants

By Alex | Published: March 18, 2010
So I’ve been design­ing web sites for a while now, for profit, but I’ve been doing web design and related non­sense for nearly ten years. That is crazy to me; my first site was com­pletely hand coded, pow­ered by notepad. Oh how I hated the process! Now, it’s a funny foot­note in my life as I con­tinue to develop my skills and [...]

I've been think­ing quite a bit lately. I've been think­ing about my web design busi­ness.

5 Things: My Development Environment.

By Alex | Published: October 2, 2009
Web design is cool. I have a great love and respect for it. Any­body can do web design. Really. As with most things, though, one can tell who knows what they're doing as opposed to those that really don't. I think it comes down the tools that one chooses. To that point, I've already listed some tools I use when I build a site.
