When we launched The Deck, I hoped other networks would take inspiration from it and figure out how to increase engagement while minimizing clutter. I even tried to sell my studio's media clients on the notion of fewer, better-priced, better-targeted ads.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

Advertisers don't want to be ignored, and they are drunk on our data, which is what Google and other large networks are really selling. The ads are almost a by-product; what companies really want to know is what antiperspirant a woman of 25-34 is most likely to purchase after watching 'House of Cards.'

From Jeffrey Zeldman

We at The Web Standards Project turned everything on its head. We said browsers should support the same standards instead of competing to invent new tags and scripting languages. We said designers, developers, and content folks should create one site that was accessible to everyone.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

The code core of the 2001 browser upgrade campaign was the first instance of capability detection in place of browser detection.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

The web's strength lies precisely in its unique position as the world's first universal platform.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

I know and have worked alongside some of the designers, developers, and editors at Vox Media; you'd be proud to work with any of them.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

Dropbox sweats the user experience details as commendably as it masters the considerable engineering challenges required to reliably sync files everywhere a user may need them.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

To my way of thinking, passive management of file assets is okay for screwing around with iPads, where we're mainly watching TV on Netflix or obsessive-compulsively checking the popularity of our Instagram uploads.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

Dropbox, with its emphasis on good old-fashioned hierarchies, is superb at automatically saving one original of each photo I take, whether shot with a phone or a fancy camera. No loops, no duplicates, no confusion.

From Jeffrey Zeldman

Business owners should think of designers as architects, not decorators.
