@Aerendyl: thanks a lot for the kind words!

Well, actually I didn’t study art, design, programming or anything, I don’t have a degree in design, I’m self-taught and I learned pretty much everything reading blogs, books and by trial and error. Of course running my own design blog and experimenting with CSS, HTML, jQuery and others helps me a lot, I guess you have to try, learn from your mistakes and always keep learning

Really nice interview! Jon i really like your work, and i follow your blog every day. I am a fresh web designer (around 2 weeks) and i am trying to get into this business (slowly because i am still 17 ). I am planning to attend University of Zagreb – Faculty of Organization and Informatics (or shorter said IT). What university did you attend? As i go trough the internet, i saw a lot of ppl who are good at web desing and development but they have a degree in web desing or graphical design. Is that really important to be good web designer and developer? Thanks in advance!

Hey Jon,

Thanks for the reply much appreciated! Think i’m going to stick with the two jobs untill i saved me some backup-money

I think on the next job offer i’m going to put on my higher rates and then give a certain percentage of discount when the budget isn’t that big. So they will now what i normally would charge when they’re returning for a next job.

Thnx for the help!

Cindy
