Quotes by Jeffrey Zeldman

Dubbed King of Web Standards by Business Week, Jeffrey Zeldman was one of the first designers, bloggers, and independent publishers on the web, and one of the first web design teachers. In 1998, he co-founded and designed—and from 1999 to 2002 he directed—The Web Standards Project, a grassroots coalition that helped bring standards to our browsers.

He publishes the industry-leading magazine A List Apart “for people who make websites;” has written two books, notably the foundational web standards text, Designing With Web Standards (whose third edition comes out this year); co-founded the web design conference An Event Apart with Eric Meyer; and founded and is executive creative director of Happy Cog™, a high-end web design agency with studios in New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Jeffrey serves on the Advisory Boards of SXSW Interactive and Rosenfeld Media and is a co-founder of The Deck advertising network. Before becoming a web designer, he worked as a composer and performing musician, as a journalist for The Washington Post and City Paper, and as an advertising copywriter and art director. He lives in New York City, and is the smitten father of Ava. Additional biographical information is available at Wikipedia, Happy Cog, Google, Amazon, A List Apart, and Ask.com.
