Thanks Nico. If you want to be a good web designer, check out the Alliance. That's what it's for!

I like your writing style.

“If all your text is big, then none of your text is big”
“‘white’ space doesn’t have to be white. But it does have to be space!” and
“As designers, we’re communicators (not decorators)…”
are nail-hitting statements for me.

I believe you understand the way many folks think and even if it’s just for that purpose, I’ll buy your book. There is not much chance that it will make me a good web designer — I know my limitations — but I am confident that it will give me a better perspective on the subject.

Thanks, Ben.

Hi Ben – recently discovered your work and appreciate your insight.

But I’m writing because your screen capture of the ForecastAdvisor page features the weather in Egegik, Alaska. I know for a fact that this is in the middle of nowhere with a year-round population of like 60. HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU COME UP WITH EGEGIK OF ALL PLACES????? (I spend my summers fishing for salmon there).

Sorry everyone else for the useless comment. But this coincidence is totally blowing my mind.

These examples are terrible. I hope you aren’t “teaching” people how to make websites like these because they are current…

Hi Brian.

Please don’t worry. I do still do web design, but for my own business and occasional hand-picked clients.

There is money in web design, if it’s done right. In fact, the world needs good web designers more than ever!

So my main focus right now is training other people how to do great websites, and earn a good living doing it.

See http://www.prowebdesignalliance.com/ to see how.

Hey Ben,

Loved your book, love your philosophy!

- just one problem with you I’m afraid!

WHY HAVE YOU STOPPED DOING WEB DESIGN?

- Disillusioned?, no money in it? – you worry me!!
