No, web design isn’t dead. Generic solutions are dead. 11 Soulless theming and quick skinning are dead. Our solutions have to be better and smarter. Fewer templates, frameworks and trends, and more storytelling, personality and character.

The web will get better and it’s our job to make it better. It won’t be easy, … We might not end up with a perfect solution every time, but we’ll have a great solution still; and more often than not it’ll be much, much better than the solution our client came to us for in the first place.
