When we made this web site, we designed it so you would find it simple to navigate around and easy to find information you are looking for, we hope we got it about right. If you are finding any of this in any way difficult, if you are confused or lost, don’t blame yourself. No honestly. It’s our job to make things easy for you, not yours to hunt around in the dark for the things that interest you.
Some people make a big song and dance about this approach and call it user-centered design. We just think it's just plain ol' common sense and we do it on every site we make.
Although we're sensible enough to know that we can't please everybody all of the time, we hope that we can please most people most of the time. If you have ideas that you think will improve things around here, please let us know. We do listen, honest we do.
We have been designing and developing fantastic web sites for our clients from our tiny studio in North Wales since 1998. We may be small but we have made a big name for ourselves and we are now well-known around the world.
Our aims are simple — to make nice work for nice people — work that we can be proud of. We aim to stay small and stay passionate about what we do best: creative design for the web.
Designer and author Andy Clarke writes:
When my wife and I moved to rural North Wales to get away from the stress of living and working in and around London, word soon got around. Before we were fully unpacked, people started asking us to work for them. I am pleased that over ten years later, people are still asking.
Our clients have and do include: Disney Store UK, Liverpool University, New Internationalist, Ogilvy One, Save The Children UK, WWF UK and xStrata.
Andy Clarke has been called a lot of things since he started working on the web at Stuff and Nonsense ten years ago. His ego likes words like ambassador for CSS, industry prophet and inspiring, but actually he is most proud that Jeffrey Zeldman once called him a bastard
Andy is a member of the Web Standards Project and a former invited expert to the W3C’s CSS Working Group. He took ten months out of his life to write the best-selling book Transcending CSS: The Fine Art Of Web Design, but Andy's passion is amazing web design. He loves making designs for the web, writing about design and teaching it at workshops and conferences all over the world.
