Design is ...

A strong understanding between the designer and client. Where they want to take their message, and how they want to get it there. Good design has the ability to build on strengths, improve morale, change perception, generate growth and profit.

Design is a process, an experience, not a task or job. It's learning about a company. It's teaching and educating the client. It's learning about people and communicating this to the world. Good design is about what works. It's the best way to convey a message.

This site is ...

The personal portfolio of me, Ryan Nicolas. I am a Web and Print Designer working out of Guelph Ontario. I've been providing design services to corporations, small companies, and educational institutions since 1999.

Web Standards?

Web Standards are de facto specifications. Standardized coding and design techniques that seperate content, presentation and behaviour. This means quicker load times, better site indexing, easier managing, highest accessability and forward compatibility. Sites can be built quicker and better than ever. In short, standards spell the beginning of real ROI for everyone.
