    Webdesigner Depot Turns One Year Old! (surprises included)

    Contests, Freebies

    1248


    It’s been one year already and today we celebrate WDD’s first birthday!

    It’s been an incredible journey so far… and I’ve enjoyed it immensely, and still am.

    I started WDD out of my curiosity for blogging and my passion for design. I wanted to put my mark out there by pouring my design vision into the world.

    Since WDD began, the blog has been visited by over 10 million people and that number is growing in leaps and bounds month after month.

    Today, I’d like to share a few interesting details about myself and WDD, and I also have some very special birthday surprises in store…

    Interesting (and not so interesting) facts

    I normally don’t get too personal or share much of the behind the scenes going on here, but today’s a special day so let’s do something different… just for fun!

    Here are some fun facts about myself and WDD that you may find amusing or completely irrelevant…

    • WDD is run by myself, Walter Apai, out of beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia
    • There are almost 250 articles published on the blog to date and over 16,000 comments
    • WDD has been visited by over 10 million people in the past year
    • The most popular post to date is: How To Choose The Right CMS
    • The most linked to post to date is: Operating System Interface Design
    • The most controversial post to date is: How Not to Design a Logo
    • WDD has over 80k Twitter followers and almost 40k RSS subscribers
    • The most difficult decision for WDD’s design was choosing the right background color
    • In the past year I’ve received and sent over 20,000 emails
    • Steve Jobs himself once sent me an email, too
    • WDD has a mobile version available
    • Most used software: Mail, Firefox, Tweetie, Skype, HootSuite, Photoshop, Transmit, Preview, iTunes and Stickies
    • WDD has been redesigned multiple times, but the design changes have always been very subtle and gradual
    • About 30% of articles written, approved and paid for, never get to be published
    • The most traffic on a single day: 170k visitors
    • Each week’s content is scheduled 1 or 2 weeks in advance
    • I’m mostly criticized for not sticking to only ‘web’ design, yet web design is an extension of ‘design’.
    • 55% of visitors use Firefox, 17% are on Safari
    • 35% of visitors come from the USA, followed by the UK, Canada, Brazil and Germany
    • WDD is published from a 24′ iMac and a 24′ Cinema Display
    • Fortune 500 companies read WDD
    • WDD articles are often used for teaching web design courses
    • WDD is a Scorpio (and I’m a Pisces)


    I’d like to thank the Academy…

    Ehem, well, sort of…  Firstly, I’d like to thank all of you, the awesome readers who have supported the site throughout. Thanks for leaving those comments!  I mean, the nice comments, of course  :)

    You’re website has been a tremendous help to us as we put together a non-profit website. We’re responsible for doing everything ourselves at the lowest price possible. We’ve been able to accomplish most of our website goals (to this point) thanks in no small part to WDD. We have an upcoming deadline, and again, thanks to WDD, we should be able to finish the project within the next 14 days. We’re always up for new ideas and new features, so keep the ideas coming. Much appreciated. And thanks & congrats again.

    WDD has been invaluable for inspiration and resources in this past few months. I follow you on twitter and there is nearly always an interesting article to look at. Whenever I am stuck for an idea or a way of doing something I go to you (and smashing magazine) for ideas and to just absorb knowledge.
    Keep up the amazing work Walter, you are an inspiration and help me on a daily basis! I hope one day I will be able to do that same… Hah yeah right!!

    I have a lot of your pages saved in my browser pages, kinda like my own personal repository of design inspiration!

    Good Work!

    In one sense I can’t believe it has already been a year and then again, I can’t believe it has only been a year. With so many achievements one would think the website has been around a lot longer.

    Well done and best wishes for the future!

    Congrats on being one year old! I really thought WDD was a little older because of the ‘wiseness’. WDD is definitly my fave blog to read on a daily basis, and i find you normally have the stuff before other blogs. As a web designer and developer, this site has really helped me. THANK YOU!

    WWD is not the blog that I would normally read, however, even since I stumbled upon the site via some random source I have never stopped coming back. I am a marketer, not a designer – more and more WWD is inspiring me to teach myself design and begin my journey down the long, windy, and awesome path.

I only found this site recently (via the “Creative Visual CV article”) but the calibre of the writing and advice found here is spectacular and I’ve been skimming through past articles when I have time to see if there’s anything I can use for my own site re-design. Keep up the great work.

    Been following your site almost since the beginning and found many of your articles very helpful and insightful.

    One that helped me in particular with clients (as a newcomer to the webdesign business) was “5 Rotten Things No One Else Has Told You About the Clients You’ll Work For”. Took some of my naive assumptions and turned them into real-world expectations and is really has helped me to deal with clients.

    Keep the good work up.

    Happy Birthday and thanks for all the content.

    For myself the biggest thing I’ve got out of this blog is learning about typography, something I had never thought about, and as I had never strayed from Arial, verdana etc, following some of the links on here was a real eye opener.
    Trying out different fonts especially for body text has been making site just that litle bit different.

    Keep up the good work

    When WDD appeared, I just noted the nice design and didn’t pay much attention to it afterwards. One year later, it’s in my daily “to read” RSS list, and I’ve bookmarked a lot of articles from around here. Why? Because the articles and resources are great and on various occasions I found information here, to the point where I decided this is something to keep tracking. Keep up the good work and congrats!

When I first arrived on WDD’s start page, I knew it was part of the serious/reliable/stylish site talking about webdesign. I bookmarked it nearby Smashing Magazine and other nice websites ;)
    Happy Birthday !

    What have I learned from WDD? That you’re a fellow Canuck! I assumed you were somewhere in the U.S., so it’s nice to see a Canadian doing so well in the design community.

    The actual things I’ve learned are too numerous to recount, though!

    I have to say CONGRATS, I would have never in any mind thought that this site was built by one person alone, that is a very impressive feat in it’s own let alone lasting, but there’s no question how when you dive in to the vast articles, I’ve learned such a vast amount of knowledge everyday from just visiting this site.

    So THANK YOU!

    ~Chris

    Dear WDD!
    I wanna thank you very much for your great enthusiasm to WDD, that helps not only me, but also the big webdesigner-and-co-society around the world!
    For me it makes a lot of fun to come here day by day to see, if there are any new articles that I could read.
    In my early years I always tried to getting better in designing by reading just books.
    But with finding WDD, I didn’t found just a dry and boring designblog, I found my new Firefox Startuppage/Homepage, that motivates me day after day for going on with what I like to do: designing
    And its more than this: it helps me to get better and better -> which then leads to having a much nicer looking and more valid WEB :D
    Thanks a lot!
    Best regards, Alex!

    I’m trying to learn web design on my own, without any money for classes or that many peers I can talk to. Webdesigner Depot was one of the first “real” web design sites I found, and its articles were inspirational. They were some of the first things that got me “thinking like a web designer,” and learning the most basic techniques and trends.

    I first came across WWD while looking for some free icons. Ever since then i’ve been a daily reader and look forward to being shown some cool design related stuff.

    I’m not a big tutorial fan, but WWD supplies great info on the theory of design. Perfect for those trying to educate themselves at their work desks.

    What has WWD taught me? It’s taught me that a lot of people don’t understand the “nofollow” tag in the comments section :)

    I’m reading WDD nearly since the launch and I “scan” (sometimes fully read) every article in my rss reader.

    WDD is …

    - my brainfood/f*ck to think about (web)design.
    - keeping me up-2-date about the latest trends / techniques.
    - teaching me about oldskool trends / techniques.
    - awesome designed ( ;-) )

    It is hard to believe Designer Depot is only 1 year old! You have the nack of publishing the right articles at the right time, many times have I been half way through a piece of work and a tweet has popped up linking to your latest article. I have a ‘quick look’ at the article and end up spending half a day on it and as a result completely change the direction of my project!

    I can’t say that the whole website influenced me but the “How to choose the right CMS” and “how to not design a logo” posts have had a pretty good impact on me, especially the first…I was always with Wordpress in mind, for me and my clients…until I read your article I didn’t realize that the others were that good too.

    Great work, and to many more years, even more successful then this one :)

    Congrats!
    Among the Smashing Magazine is this my favorite webdesign blog. Surprised that it’s only one year old – this should mean that I’ve been following this website almost since the beginning.
    I just checked your traffic/page views – impressive!
    Keep going!

    WDD is an amazing resource for all designers, whether they are web based or not, so congratulations on your 1st Bithday! :) WDD has personally helped me because it was one of the only good design sites I came across when I first started looking more at them in the past year to six months. WDD has had so many interesting, thought provoking and also inspiring posts. It has helped me to focus, to think in a creative way and to also educate me in many different aspects of web design. I think without actually discovering WDD, I wouldn’t have had the confidence to go ahead and launch my portfolio website as successfully as I did (www.rachilli.co.uk)

    Thanks so much for a brilliant website, and keep up the great work (as I’m sure you will!)

    So: Very well done & my gratulations!

    I really appreciate what you’ve done over the last year and i can only wish that it will keep on going for many more!

    So in other words… Don’t stop doing what you’re best at, influencing designers and expanding the knowledge of the world :-)

    I hate WDD it looks ugly confusable with lot of images and contents” – hey wait wait dont be angry on me. This is what I thought on my first look on

    WDD. But now I am visiting this site 3 times a day :) (after breakfast, lunch and dinner). I cant believe that its age is just “One” when it works likae an amateau website. It was an unexpected visit to WDD (when searching for logo

    impression via google though), but when “I get my answerw without asking questions in one site” I just started to love WDD. I just started to collect

    color theme, icons, logo impressions, Creative web designs showcases, useful articles about usability and here the right side advertisements also

    teaching me a Good designing skills. Its really unbelievable, excellent website for all kind of webdesigners – begginer to expert. My favourite article

    is Microsoft vs Apple – As a windows user Iam still supports MS who loves Apple’s website design and its icon, yes you can include the iphone also :) , to speak frankly im little fuzzy with english, WDD not only teaching the designing skills also the english and communication skills.
    My big applause for WDD
    Thanks a lot

    See the header banner image above? When I first saw it on my wide screen monitor, I realized that I do need to have my designs “degrade” to wider screens gracefully. I have since been using it (specifically its image dimensions) as a template for my designs.

    Happy Birthday WDD :)
    I’ve red almost every article and from each one I learned something new :)
    I started doing web designs before year and a half and I’ve learned everything that I know from WDD and the tutsplus network. :) But the best thing that I’ve learned from WDD is what people like and what they don’t. And also the difference between design and art, but i think WDD kinda combines them both. :)
    Again Happy Birthday and i hope I’ll write a comment again on the 50′th anniversary ;)

    As I’ve started freelance full-time and started my own business around the work I do creatively, I’m so excited every morning to turn to my feeds and read up on tutorials and tips from around the ‘Net to help me in becoming a better freelancer, and designer.

    WDD has definitely moulded me to changed certain aspects of how I design and how I deal with the different day-to-day with clients. Whenever searching through me 35+ subscriptions, I am always very pleased with the quality of articles that come from WDD as they are never half-assed, and always contain information that I can use.

    Awesome job doing what you do over there – keep it up!!

    Happy blogversary! One of your regular German readers here. :-)
    WDD is one of my daily must-reads since my best friend (designer and webdesign geek) gave me the url to http://www.tagdocs.de who mentioned you an in article, so I arrived here and stayed. My mum is a painter and daddy is graphics designer and I grew up with art and so I immediately fell “at home” , “cozy” and comfortable here and enjoy reading tremendeously especially because you do not restrict yourself to just webdesign but art in general. I am a self-taught webdesigner, work mostly freelance and your articles inspire me enormously or make me laugh, and always I learn a lot. And it is the best source to convince people of a dark layout, like mine. Needless to say I designed my blog myself (and am just redesigning it quitely because the new Movable Type 5 will be ready in two weeks approximately and the architecture behind has changed completely).

    Keep up that good work! Lover your blog and the style it is written.

    Congrats WDD!

    It’s always nice to see progress. Your interesting and non interesting facts where a very nice read, gave me some good tips.
    In the last few months I have learned a lot from WDD, going to a multimedia and design University myself. Another thing I am proud to be doing is making a presentation of this website for one of my classes at University called “Visual culture”. It’s not going to be in English but I will be happy to send you a copy when I’m done ;)

    Thanks for all the posts and keep up the good work!

    Have to say, this site itself is a really inspiring and educational – but through this site and its links I have also found a huge number of other great web/graphic design sites I’ve never known before! So thank you for that also!

    … and my opinion is that keep posting those “not only” web design related articles. I have enjoyed them quite much!

    I’m a freelance web designer since only 2 months. Before I was programming for a little company here in germany. I’m following your site since a few months and it helps me very much to make my way. The inspiration I got here is so great!

    A little example:
    Since the article “The Art of Branding Yourself and Your Freelancing Business” I defined more specific goals and changed my business plan. I was inspired to creating a great logo and to plan a website design for a little webdesigner group in my town.
    Also I’m planing a re-design for my site. The last “Favorite Tweets of the Week” from sunday inspired me so much, that I made the first conceptual design yesterday.
    Thank you so much!

    Please excuse my bad english … I’m just a reader ;-)

    I might not be the sxact target audience since I am a software engineer (who admires the work of the talented graphic designers). However I feel that a little at a time, reading the posts in, the information does stick in and lets me worry no only about functionality, but the aesthetics as part of my own process.

    Keep up the good work!

    Happy anniversary, WDD!

    I’m Creative Lead at a small agency in Missouri. As such, I and my staff wear and frequently swap ‘duty hats.’ Like most of your readers, WDD is one of our very top sources of inspiration, from concepts to layouts to storyboards to scripts to video; we get a lot of good ideas here. And probably some bad ones.

    But we don’t talk about those.

    Much.

    Thanks for the consistently great content!

    The content on your site is always 100% and has given me lots of inspiration since my first visit about 6 months ago – sorry for missing the first 6 months.

    I always make sure to point like-minded people to WDD because there really is no better resource out there.

    At first I was overwhelmed by the design blog out there, therefore I only pick some of the design blog to follow. Although I’ve unsubscribed from the RSS feed, I still get to know the article thanks to the people I follow who spread the word. I like the article on webdesignerdepot that focus on web-design/management around CSS, strategy, and how to work. And I hope it’ll be the same in the future, always grow… :)

    I like your articles on logos, WP, etc. All of them are unique. The dos and donts provided have helped me become a designer at the age of 14 and hope that you will provide more articles on typo and logos.

    Hopefully this comment isn’t seen as a perfunctory gesture to receive goodies, but I sincerely appreciate the articles… ESPECIALLY the non-”web”-related ones. Some of the best inspiration comes from images and ideas that are non-web related. Plus I often come here with Firefox and Firebug in hand to pull apart your design and strip back to the CSS and help me with coding my own pages.

    Thanks a mil good chap!

    Congratulations WDD! If that isn’t success in such a short period of time, I don’t know what is.

    WDD has inspired me to get away from the oh so horrible tables in web design and move to CSS. Now, I’m learning CSS inside and out. I found out what Wordpress is and am using it to my advantage. I’m even building my new portfolio website as a Wordpress theme. I’m blogging as well, just not as much. You inspire so many people and make people like me realize that success can be achieved. Go WDD!

    I was hitting a brick wall in my design studies and design career, wondering if this is even something I’m cut out to do for a living. Having been a web designer for more than 10 years, I was running low on inspiration and fresh ideas. Following blogs like Web Designer Depot has helped me refresh my views on design (especially web design) and gain new inspiration.

    After I finished college i needed to continue to keep learning and growing my knowledge as well as practice some of it. This blog has been extremely helpful in keeping me updated on design trends and best practices. I wish that colleges would incorporate more knowledge like this blog has into their design classes instead of just using teaching us the classical methods without the current, real-world applications and new techniques.

    I started following WDD depot early this year. It was one of a large pack of web design blogs that I subscribed to. Of those, this is the only one I still subscribe to – the others either lacked meaningful content, lost coherency, or just folded outright. This is the only one that stayed on message and stayed relevant to my work.

    Thanks for keeping up the good work!

    Congrats WDD!

    I was first introduced to WDD by GReader as a suggested site for me back in March of 09. Since then, I have been graced with hundreds of tips and tricks, interesting and inpirational articles to read, and above all else an extra boost of confidence in my skills as a web designer by applying the knowledge that I have picked up from the site.

    My main way of following your tips is by twitter. And I love the favorite tweets of the week posts. I look forward to them every Sunday.

    Thanks for all the hard work on this site, and let’s hope it only gets better with the upcoming years!

    Cheers!

    In that one year though, I’ve made sure to check the site practically everyday, and it actually helped me quite a while ago last year while going through the equivalent of writers block for Web Designer’s! Thank you Web Designer Depot!

    I’m really surprised WDD is only a year old. I came across it 6 or 7 months ago and it has always seemed to me like a very established blog. It’s really helped me learn more about design and actually sparked my interest in web design (first came here because of PS tutorials).

    Happy Birthday WDD!

    I don’t think I would be as sure what I am going to do after my A-levels as I am now without WDD, because it really helped me push my focus on my creative side.

    One year? The time really flees. But on the other side… I clearly remember how i got here. I was looking for some solution for wordpress error saying “Cannot modify header information – headers already sent” and found you in google. It was on the year break 08/09 when i was setting up my first wordpress page. But I do not found a solution here :) . What turns me into your regular reader was the article “13 Characteristics of Outstanding Blog Design” and the comments underneath, founded next time probably a January 09. (and I like and always read comments because they usually have better solutions or are valuable and interesting to me). I have/had read almost every article that has something to do with web/design and had only one response/comment sent (that was either not so relevant) but that`s me :D . Only a reader…

    From Slovakia -> Cheers!

    I’ve never seen so many comments. This should add to your comments count. Thank you so much for all the help that you’ve provided. Thank you, as well, for ignoring the insane people who think you should stick to web design alone. Also, if I could throw you roses, I would.

    This site is so great and was so useful the last months.

    Hi Walter!

    Congratulations on one year. Out of the work I’ve done in the past year, the work that I’ve done with WDD is some of the work that I’m the most proud of, and that is in no small part because of your incisive input and expert feedback. Many happy returns and I hope to be writing for the site for most of them!! (Put my name back in the hat if you happen to get it for the draw and give something to one of the lovely readers!!)

    I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. Webdesigner Depot always seems to come out with the perfect article right when I’m about to need that exact tutorial, resource, tip, or whatever. It’s the only web design blog I subscribe to via email, and it’s been the best education of the web design world I’ve had… other than my blood, sweat, and tears… of which WDD has saved me quite a few.

    Love, love, love WWD. I’m surprised to hear that you are criticized for not concentrating on purely web design. Perhaps that’s why I love it so much (coming from a professional web designer). Your at the top of my list as a inspiration and advice for design and I continually share your posts with all of my colleagues. Keep doing what you do and I’ll keep following.

    Later.

    PS. love the background color too.

From the first day, I worked as a Web Designer (was a Graphic Designer), I found WDD, and you help me a lot! I wasn’t able to understand about CSS, CMS, and anything about website. But WDD has given me much inspiration and now I can be a proud web designer! ^^ Keep up the good work.

    Hi there,

    First of all, happy “birth”-day. This blog is great. I have to say I’ve also read the article about choosing a CMS twice so I’m not amazed that it’s so popular. I also found the showcases of business cards and website designs to be very inspiring.

    I really hope you’ll keep up the very good work as I’m constantly out looking for inspiration.

    To anyone new to this site, know that you may find solutions to problems you thought had been solved, I had this experience more than once when reading articles on webdesignerdepot. I also follow them on twitter for really nice updates.

    One of the greatest thing about webdesignerdepot is the weekly post entitled “Our Favorite Tweets of the Week”. I always find something interesting there, please keep writing these posts every week for those of us who might miss them on twitter.

    Hi WDD and the staff behind this blog.

    Since I started my own company for creating websites with suitable webdesign I have been coming back here constantly to gather information to even improve my skills. By day I started the company in March 2009 it has been expanding or maybe I should say exploding! It has growing much more than I ever expected, and customers are standing in queue!

    I just want to give my warmest thanks to the people behind WDD. Continue like this and my company will continue expanding to skyhigh limits! :)

    Best regards,
    DH

I have learned not only website info but tips on running a small business too. Your site is great & I always look forward to your emails. I love the pics & tips that you put in them-keep up the great work!

    It’s hard to believe that over a year of high quality tutorials, roundups, and resources have been provided at Webdesigner Depot! When this site first launched, I remember reading the article about mixing fonts in logos. Once I finished soaking in all of the useful information, it occurred to me that Webdesigner Depot would be the next big design blog. 30,000 RSS subscribers later, this site continues to inspire me, and many other designers throughout the community. Keep up the inspiration!

    First of all, WD is one of the most interesting, attractive and informative websites I have encountered with so much to offer to enhance the learning curve. Having grown up in Smithers, B.C. CANADA and going to UVic and living/working in Vancouver and having family still in Aldergrove, B.C., I was attracted to Webdesigner Depot. I use a laptop (Ubuntu os w/ Gimp) and hope to learn the program so I can take advantage of the hundreds of ideas WD has offered and continues to offer. Please continue doing your wonderful work so I can enjoy at least reading about interesting ideas until I get the knowledge to practice any one of your ideas!

    How does Wed Designer Depot influence my business?

    I use the back catalogue of great articles to reinforce my sales pitch to clients.

    E.G. I suggest a client needs to realign their front page making it simpler and I can send them a link to the “3-step-approach” article.

    Clients trust me but I believe a good reference has sealed the deal on more than one occasion!

    Thanks WDD!

    As a developer primarily, it takes a lot for me to get my “creative” hat on, but recently through the excellent articles on this site I’ve been able to do it more and more. In fact, I recently created what I would consider my greatest web design. Actually quite proud of it. Looking forward to doing what I normally do to other peoples designs and turning it into nice code!

    I’ve been in the design business for over 20 years and I’m having quite a renaissance at the moment and this is largely down to the fine people out there behind such sites as yours Walter. This site is a credit to you and your contributors, it’s amazing that you have gained such stature in the design world in just one year. It’s inspirational for all of us!

    I find myself here several times a week, I’m catching up, reading, bookmarking, becoming inspired and learning all the time – at 40 years old I’m enjoying my career again! Fair play to you, congratulations on your first year and long may you continue :)

    After reading this post, I must say, I am inspired and further motivated, cause its been around a month since I launched my blog…www.designopoint.com… with a very similar sort of interest. and after a month of hardwork, I just have around 4-5 page views /day. But, I am sure, I am gonna shoot that daily page views to a far better level in a years time.

    Trust me… you guys are very inspiring and I wish WDD and its team all the best.

    I don’t remember how I discovered Webdesigner Depto, but I am certainly glad I did! As an added bonus to the many informative articles, I often forward the RSS feed to my daughter, who is an accomplished artist. She finds the pictures inspirational, and I am cooler because of it!

    Thanks Webdesigner Depot!

    I’ve been around this web lark for a while now, which has it’s advantages and drawbacks. From table-based designs, marquee and blink over-usage, a time when FONT was a necessity without alternative, the web has grown beyond anyone’s imagination. And it keeps growing!
    WDD helps us all out by offering (for free) insights, tutorials and articles on the rapidly evolving methods and best-practices in contemporary web design, and offers me some hope of keeping up to speed with it all.

    I started reading Web Designer Depot from day 1, and since, it hasn’t left my bookmarks just because of the awesome content you (and the other writers) deliver.

    Really, keep up the good work! Congratulations!
