I love having a blog, but I am the first to admit that I’ve not been fantastic at writing posts.
So in an open commitment to my follower (or maybe followers) I’ve written a list of blog posts I am planning on writing over the next few weeks and months.
I’m sure everyone is as fed up with talk about cookies as I am right now, but “implied consent” does not mean “do nothing”. Yes the ICO have changed their stance on implied consent, but the law hasn’t been abolished and they haven’t done a U-turn.
I’m sure many of you are aware of Forrst and Dribbble. For those who aren’t, they are in essence community sites based around design and development. Dribbble is focused mainly on designers for web, user interface and user experience whilst Forrst has a wider remit with both designers and developers posting their work.
This is certainly a hot topic at the moment and gaining so much momentum that some people are referring to Responsive Web Design as a “trend”. If you haven’t done it before, it’s pretty easy and instead of explaining every single nuance, I’m going to explain how I did it, on this very blog.
It’s been a whole year (well 13 months to be precise) since I left my full time job to follow my dream to become a full time freelance Web Designer. There have been ups and downs in my first year in business and I thought it would be helpful to share my experiences to help other budding freelance newbies.
I recently decided to get some consistency in the footer links I was adding to the website I designed and coded. I wasn’t sure whether to use “designed by”, “built by”, “developed by” etc. so I created a post on forrst.com asking fellow designers and developers their thoughts. I was expecting a general consensus and I got quite the opposite. Most comments advised against using the links and there was some real snobbery about the use of footer links.
