Stuff and Nonsense

North Wales, UK based web standards aware, accessible web site and e-commerce design specialists

Based in North Wales, Stuff and Nonsense is a small, but popular, web design studio, founded and led by designer and author Andy Clarke. We started back in 1998 and have built an enviable reputation for designing highly effective web sites, ecommerce stores and web applications for our clients.

We create web sites that are visually engaging, use technologies appropriately, have high levels of accessibility and that satisfy the needs of the people that use them. We focus on making simple, useable and attractive web sites using web standards technologies including XHTML and CSS; heck, we even wrote a book about it, Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design.

So why do our clients love us, and why do they keep coming back? We think it's because we are so passionate about our work. We love designing for the web. With every job we do, we try to learn something new about how to do things better.

Andy Clarke is hip and mature. You almost never get both. He is a seasoned brand steward, a fancy pixel wrangler, and no mean hand at code. A triple talent. The bastard.

Jeffrey Zeldman, Happy Cog | Testimonials

It is because of this passion and our attention to the finest details, that we have attracted some big names to our small studio in North Wales. We also regularly promote creative, accessible, standards-based design in our writing, at conference, training and workshop events as well as in our everyday work.

More on developing naming conventions, Microformats and HTML5

It seems like a lifetime ago that I first sat down with a cup of tea and a bourbon biscuit and thought about the conventions that we use for naming HTML/XHTML id and class attribute values. Comments are open at For A Beautiful Web.
