Comment on How does a beginner start becoming a web design expert?

Comments

There's a lot more to being a web design expert than learning to code in HTML and CSS.

So sayeth Jeffrey Zeldman:

Information architecture. Usability. Accessibility. Web standards. If you don't know about these things, stop designing websites until you have learned. Competence in graphic design is merely a baseline; it does not qualify you to create user experiences for the web.

Every time I think I can stop talking about these obvious, simple truths, some crazy bad 90s style train wreck hits me headlong and makes me weep anew.
