Where to start? I’m not sure, but if I don’t start i’ll never get there. A problem for me sometimes is wanting to jump to expert without going through the novice stage. I recently put off designing a site because I know I am not at the level I want to be. I think my mindset is wrong because if I don’t start I won’t ever be able to design anything close to what some of the design masters have created.
I orded a few books from Amazon that came in yesterday, one of which is Designing With Web Standards written by mastermind Jeffrey Zeldman. As of writing this post I have made my way into Chapter 5, I’m no book review expert, but so far I am pleased with what he has to say and would recommend it to anyone interested in standards based web design. Since Zeldman has been around since the begining of the web and knows the old ways and the new and what it will take to progress, his view of web design is one I can easily respect. Reading his book is definately helping me on my road to designing great websites. If you have a book suggestion that will help me, feel free to leave a comment.
