We are getting lots of love from the global web design community

12 Oct

With this being the Canadian thanksgiving holiday weekend it gives me time to stop and think about the past few months since I started Spicy Web Designers and the unexpected and much hoped for love that’s been receiving from the web designers that I review and interview.

I started Spicy Web Designers for this reason alone… It’s hard for the general public to understand what questions to ask a web designer before they hire them unless they’ve worked in web design or have a web design professional advisor which a lot people from small business owners to project managers simply do not have. The response has been great and I’ve actually got more interviews coming, and interest from web designers I haven’t gotten to that is driving the success. I wanted to take a moment and post some of the comments that people have mentioned over the past couple months.

Hello Lucas,

I’m very flattered that you are interested in interviewing me for your website. I have read some of the content on Spicy Web Designers, and you have some well written pieces in there! If you would like me to answer some questions, I would be more than happy to do so. Just let me know how you would like to go about conducting this interview, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.

Regards,

Dickson Fong

ME: Thanks again Pete for agreeing to the interview

Pete from Bapple.com.au: No probs, pleasure. I think your site is providing a great insight into the industry & I actually wanted to ask you a question or two.

1. Are the majority of web designers you interview solely designers or do they code as well, and do you find the web is moving in the direction of specialists that focus on their areas i.e. Designers, coders, IA etc

2. Can I make you a spicy web designer’s website header? I’m baffled by the “Flash News Theme” title; I’m assuming it’s the standard WordPress template header.

Thank you though for the interest and I look forward to seeing this interview on your site. I have been visiting your site regularly now as I find the interviews really interesting. Keep up the good work.

Good luck with it all

All the best

Katie Taylor

Keep up the great work and good luck with SWD!
