> [@dozr](#): > > If you want to be taken seriously as a web designer there are some things you need to seriously rethink. Kill the splash page, kill all the flash (flash is ok used sparingly in certain situations, or in marketing driven microsites), and learn some modern front end code standards and best practices. (See the other HTML thread) What modern front end coding did i NOT say in my original thread? As far as the flash goes, it really depends on idea clients you are targeting… Ever hear of 2adv? > [@dozr](#): > > I think you generally try and go overboard with your designs, try keep it simple, give it whitespace, and remember fancier is not always better. Great design is achieved not when nothing more can be added, but when nothing more can be taken away. Note taken, but you have not seen much of my recent work. I agree clean is always better, but boring . Again it really depends on the client. > [@dozr](#): > > Look at [http://www.Happycog.com](http://www.Happycog.com) for example, these guys are one of the top web companies in Manhattan and Philly, they publish one of the best (if not THE best) web design magazine out there ([www.alistapart.com)](http://www.alistapart.com%29), they speak at the top web design and media conferences all over the world. Its simple, its functional, its beautiful. I think there site is boring and ugly. But that is my personal opinion. And i am sure they do great work but again, i must keep on stressing it really depends on the clients need. Just because you have seen my flash site does not mean i only do flash. > [@dozr](#): > > Good Luck in your job search. thank you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-new-job/24248)._
