Build Conference – Belfast 2009

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Build Conference

What a day.  This is all I can say. Inspired, invigorated & thoroughly enjoyed are some of the words that come to mind.

I will fill you in…

The Conference Started with a bight and I must say breezy talk from Tim Van Damme, (No not Claude, Tim) on Passion. It was nice too see someone as equally as passionate about design as me, although if im honest he has every right, some quality work from the man. I unfortunately didn’t get to take many notes as I was trying to be uber designer cool and use the wireless, which as per usual at these things it fell over and decided not too work #waterfrontwirelessfail

Although it improved throughout the day, so it wasn’t all bad.

Made it onto CSS Mania & CSS Wow

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

cssmania

After many years in the Web Design Business I finally made it onto a CSS Gallery, CSS Mania & CSS Wow. This was pretty special for me as I had never been featured on something like this before no matter how many times I submitted.  Getting onto a CSS Gallery is a great way to boost traffic but it also gives you a sense of feeling good, because you know that your work is appreciated by other designers.

Tips to get on a CSS Gallery

If you really want to be on a CSS Gallery here is a few tips:

  1. Obviously your Design has to be built using CSS, or there would just be no point. :)
  2. Make sure all pages validate both the CSS and XHTML, either transitional or strict.
  3. Make a unique exciting and visual design, use the galleries themselves for inspiration but be sure not to copy another deign as that’s silly and you would never be featured.
  4. Make sure to check after a few days as they sometimes don’t tell you, and you could miss your time in the limelight.

If you don’t get featured straight away don’t worry, go back tweak your design and re-submit.  Eventually you will come up with a winner! Like me here and Like me here
