The company's Director of Technology was very impressed with my CSS expertise and is including me in bigger and more wide-reaching projects. I owe quite a bit to you, partly for your helpful resources and partly for making HTML and CSS cool!
Thanks!!"

I work with a graphic designer who taught webpage design... now he comes to me with his questions. I so enjoyed your DVDs and appreciate all the little extra tips that make designing so much better."
