Two questions from me: - How are you planning to differentiate Designer's Couch from the established web design communities such as Stylegala? <blockquote>Visually, its up to the client</blockquote> - Do you expect the client to have all-power over the design? How do you deal with the design process where clients are involved? Thanks for your time, Damian.

Two questions from me:

- How are you planning to differentiate Designer’s Couch from the established web design communities such as Stylegala?

Visually, its up to the client

- Do you expect the client to have all-power over the design? How do you deal with the design process where clients are involved?

However, I'll tell you this much. The focus isn't on the same sort of content as Stylegala. We simply offer an inspirational gallery for visitors to see what our members are capable of. What our focus is on is our members growing as designers and better people. Most of the good stuff will be on the inside for those who are members of designerscouch. Sorry I can't say much else but even though I'm lead on this project, I'm not at liberty to say much :) Second question: First thing you must understand is that the client pays your bills so if he wants an animation moving acorss the site or a yellow mouse over on white background, it's his web design and that goes for any other media. However, as a designer it's your job as a designer to explain the downside and upside of every visual choice by the client. It's also your job to explain your own visual choices in a design and not just do it and say, 'here you go.' If you don't give reasons for your choices in the design then quite frankly, they won't care how nice it looks in some cases. I personally try my best to get the client to lean my way and in most cases am sucessful because of the points I make. I certainly hope I've answered your questions. Thanks for reading the article.

Believe me, we are not aiming to become like every other web dev blog. Most of the interviews on fadatstic are on the topic of web trends. I believe it's always interesting to hear other people's views on the latest web design trends. It keeps things fresh. We do have some exciting subjects to discuss in the coming months. Don't worry. Jeremy,
