How did you get into web design?

I have always been interested in graphics and web design, I started out creating in-house brochures and animated invitations for projects . . . so web design was just another step forward.

Do you remember the very first site you designed?

Yes, it was a very basic and not very visually designed.

What will be the next big development in webpage design?

I am not to sure, but we seem to be moving towards entirely flash driven websites. Sites that are very graphically involved.

Have you ever worked with website templates?

I work with them all the time. So yes.

What website template providers have you tried?

I have tried Template Monster, however it just is easier to create and design our own.

What was your experience with them?

They were very very helpful, and very well designed.

What do you think about Flash technology?

I think that it is the next step forward. It is a very dynamic and interactive way to create websites.

What are your sources of inspiration?

The internet in general, just browsing the web for good ideas and graphical designs.

What are your interests and dislikes in webpage design?

I love to see a well designed and laid out website, that is not too cluttered with adds and odd sections. Something that changes from time to time and does not require long waiting periods while loading.

Thanks to you Bradley from DI for your viewpoint and experiences.
