Notes on a Website
In an attempt to understand what makes a good (or bad) project I started writing notes. These evolved into a guide for clients, designers, developers or anyone interested in creating websites.
“The fact that our new website matches the ambitions we set ourselves is in no small part due to Richard’s work. I cannot imagine having navigated the complexity of the task without him.”
