Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Zeldman has a great argument for why you should never design on-spec. Basically, he sums it up in one sentence: Design is only partly decoration. Mainly it is problem solving. Unless the RFP spells out site goals and user needs in phenomenal detail, you can�t create an appropriate design because you don�t yet know what problems need to be solved.

Looks way cool! Unfortunatly, I work from 8 – 5 and their hours are:
Tuesday – Friday: 9:00 am – 6:30 pm
Saturday: 9:00 am – 5:30 pm
(I think they should stay open longer Fri & Sat nights…)
