Hey everyone. Due to a lack of submissions (I’ve gotten two submissions in the past week), I’m going to wait another week before I select a site to review. If you’re interested in a free web design review, and a free ad banner, be sure to check this out:

Feature: DesignersMind Weekly Website Review

Hey everyone! There’s a new feature coming to DesignersMind. Starting next Saturday evening, the DesignersMind Weekly Design Review will begin! Every week, anyone can send in a link to their website, or a website they designed. Friday night, submissions will be closed and one design will be picked at random. The next evening, I will post a detailed critique of the site’s design, including mini-reviews from a few selected designers from different fields of design, to get a more in-depth look at things! In addition, the submitter of the design that is chosen for review will receive a free ad-banner design from yours truly!

So if you have a website you’d like to have critiqued, send a link my way. Please send an e-mail including your name, a link to the site you’d like reviewed, a link to your own site (if different from the site reviewed), and an extra contact method, in case your design is chosen, to submit(at)designersmind.com with the subject WDR Submission!

If you’d like to be one of the reviewers for the Weekly Design Review, please send an e-mail to submit(at)designersmind.com including your name and contact information with the subject WDR Writer Application. I need people who are skilled writers and have strong knowledge in typography, XHTML/CSS, and any other aspect of web design. Think you have something great to bring to the reviews? E-mail me!

Hope to see some submissions soon. Happy designing everyone!

Regards,
Tyler Lemieux

Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates last month, after the digg on my simplicity article, my site went down for a few days and I’ve been working towards both getting setup on a new host and adding a few new features to DesignersMind!

Within the next week or two, you can expect to see:

  • An online store, including WP skins, VB skins and icon sets!
  • A web design forum!
  • More articles, more tutorials, and of course..
  • A guest article!

I also have many more ideas planned for DesignersMind, so sit tight, they’re on their way.

Cheers!
Tyler

That’s right, I stayed up a few extra hours and made a nice new design for DesignersMind. Hope everyone likes it! Chris from 26bits did a great job coding it! I recommend him for any WP coding work you need done, he’s coded a few of my designs now and has done a great job with all of them.

So, leave comments regarding the redesign or any bugs you might find (hopefully not!), they’re greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, welcome to DesignersMind.com.

This site was started to provide both seasoned and new web designers a resource to look to when they need aid. Looking around, I couldn’t seem to find a single site that focused on web design (although, there’s dozens of ‘development’ sites that just dabble in design). So, instead of taking the lazy-man’s “I’ll just wait until someone builds one� approach, I decided to take my knowledge in web design and apply it.

Here’s what I need from you. Yes, you. I already have tons of things planned, but I’d like to hear what you think should appear on this site. Leave a comment on this post, and tell me what you’d like to see on this site. Anything from tutorial ideas and article subjects to recommendations for designers to interview. Help me make this the best designer’s resource out there!
