Can I come watch you?
clientsfromhell:
As told by an old school film editor, from the days when they actually handled film:
Client: ”What is your rate?”
Me: ”$50 per hour.”

Client: ”What if I help you?”
Me: ”That would be $400 per hour.”

CSS 3D Meninas →
I’ve took the classic paint The Maids of Honour (Las Meninas) and made this CSS pseudo-3D/parallax effect. It is pure CSS, so no javascript or flash involved: only CSS and HTML code.

Content doesn't just "happen" →
Don’t talk about content as though it’s just copy. “Copy” means words. “Content” means audits, analyses, Web readability, plain language, metadata, structure, life cycle, and more. It’s far more complicated and time-consuming than just writing. Make sure the client understands that content doesn’t…
