Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe responding to a guy like this might put your company in legal jeopardy in relation to the former employee. We have been explicitly told in the past that we cannot discuss former employees' perf

The multiple accounts issue is the main reason I don't use G+. It's no longer practical to tie an online identity to a correspondence account.

I'll add that during your first conversation the designer should dive right into understanding your business, and understanding your objectives, before any discussion of solutions. If the conversation flows in the opposite direction, you ha

I think these companies are looking at this from a long term perspective. This and the smartphones are the only growth markets post-PC. Almost everyone will own a smartphone and/or tablet sooner than you think, and just a small portion of t

It's interesting how people divide themselves into two separate camps when it comes to landing page/direct marketing (which are brothers of the same mother). The fact is, both longform and shortform work. But why they work and which context

No doubt. Before taking that complicated step, throw the idea out there that you are willing to license it. Get a few developers to do that as single transactions, where you walk them through code integration. If it proves too popular for y

I would throw in a 37Signals quote in here and advise "sell your byproducts." There is money to be had from residual assets used in the process of building your main product. Did you create some nifty icons, or write a custom graphing engin

I get kind of annoyed with these smug, pseudo-contrarian articles about, what boils down to personal preference. The right answer is: Use the right tool for the right job. * If it's a simple brochureware template, you might be able to knock

Be careful about chasing a dollar amount. $100K is pretty baseline for someone who has technical/design etc. skills. Moving into the $200K+ salary range often means working a lot of overtime, which leaves little time for enjoyable pursuits,

I think this does more to tarnish the reputation of the web designer as an immature, spiteful person, instead of being a true business person. The best way to handle situations like these in my experiences is to take the site offline and sa

We rent at $2,200.00/mo for a 4/2 in south sj. That would be 3-3.5k in mountain view or cupertino, when we looked in August. If you time it right, you can find cheaper places. The absolute worse time to move (highest rents) is right before

I do this as well, and have had the same experience. IE 6 support is suddenly no longer as important. I explain that I'll put a message up that directs the user to either upgrade their browser, install Chrome Frame or browse at their own pe

I'll add to the deadline section "the ability to actually ship." Beware of the brilliant computer scientist who is working on their baby, and sees the performance of their software as reflection of their character. The software will never b

I don't see him knocking schooling. Rather, he is criticizing seeking schooling for the sake of schooling . And he has a valid point. There is very little economic benefit, outside of research and some professional fields, to pursue additi

Designers also are typically not around to feel the repercussions of their designs, so they may think they are designing for other people when they are really going off of their own intuition. And let's face it, even those with the best d

Here's a few more phrases: "Here's 50% up front." "I'll pay upon delivery." "Let's set up a retainer." These phrases get ya top priority. Fast.

This looks like design trends of the non-designer. I've found that web design has improved greatly over the past few years, as best practices and technology have "aligned" with designers' vision.

People confuse PPI (pixels) and DPI (dots) all the time. Yes, a press might run at a higher DPI than 300, but a 300-400PPI image is generally considered sufficient for even coffee table book-quality printing. http://www.tildefrugal.net/pho
