After 18 years in front of a keyboard I'd hoped my typing would be better than it is. But I'm stuck between a "Pointers with Thumbs" and a "Von Style" Does anybody have recommendations for a good online touch type training program? Specific

"Fondlement & Fetishism Potential [F.F.P.]" is term that should be added to the lexicon of any product designer worth their salt. It should be included as a standard rating along with things like usability when developing anything.

I can see a lot of use for this for product reviews on sales sites. It would have to default to a static image first though. Great work.

Nice design, but from a usability point of view don't open new tabs in the browser for each user. I clicked trough a few profiles and had close tabs left right and centre.

Well i'd suggest you improve the Read Me. Auto-including jQuery and 960.gs is a handy wee process, but you should explain why you created the script, what you think the script accomplishes, where it should be used and how your going to impr

I tend to do general freelance web-design as well as working with a couple of startups on a part-time basis. About a year ago I started to encourage my clients to provide a mobile option. Since then I've worked with a number of responsive

The first startup I worked for was cash poor and I agreed to lower wages in return for a 4 day week. Bear in mind that this was in Ireland in the late 1990's and there was never any mention of shares etc. There was however a very competitiv

It'll be interesting to see if they'll create their own app store for this.

Back in 2000/2001 I worked for an Irish broadcaster on their online presence. The company was heavily unionised. Because they weren't sure which union us techies should be in, the local chapter of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) dec

Bravo! Lovely bit of work for just 10K. The only criticism I would make is about the zoom. Not sure that the controls should enlarge as well. Is there a betting pool where I can put a few quid on you winning the contest?

The left side menu would slide within the frame to the left to hide the links to the individual desingers. This seemed to happen a couple of times when I clicked and held the link. Hope that helps

Needs a lot of work. The pages behave badly in Chrome and a lot of the images displayed dead. A specific link for Web Designers on the home page would be a good idea

Many years ago in my first tech job, before the ipod, I had a sony walkman where I would change the batteries more often than the tape. This one tape would be on continuous loop for days and weeks at a time. I had never been more productive

Tennant's point about the use of these words, "branding”, “beautiful”, “passion”, “making a difference”, “modern”, “clean”, is totally valid. These are qualities that web designers either want to achieve on a professional level or have seen

It's interesting that the pricing model is purely rental. I can see a lot of small businesses/hobbyists using this. $20 to get your website done will grab a lot of attention. For professionals it could be a good mock-up tool. Being able to
