Web design skill set

Proficient in Adobe Photoshop since version 5.5, Adobe Dreamweaver since version 3 and Adobe Flash since version 4 or there abouts, Evan knows his stuff. He also learned HTML the old fashioned hand coding way. Several years ago he took the step of shedding tables and moved to CSS positioning. These days he's forgotten what a < td > tag is.

Evan's skill set also includes an understanding of usability, SEO best practices and accessibility. He also has a true understanding of what web design is really all about - information communication. And just as importantly, an understanding of what it's not - graphic design, onscreen print material and flashy wizzbang whatsits for-the-sake-of-it.
