“Resilient Web Design” by Jeremy Keith
There’s nothing like reading a short book about web design on a plane! I just finished reading Jeremy Keith’s fantastic web book Resilient Web Design.

The primary point of the book … Continue reading ““Resilient Web Design” by Jeremy Keith”

After listing common heading errors in a recent post, it’s time to talk about how to find problems on your own site!
Chronicle V

The MRW Web Design chronicle will get you caught up on what I’ve been up to in tech, business, and, on occasion, “real life!” Coming … Continue reading “Chronicle V”
