Web Design from Scratch - WDFS Design Tutorials

The design tutorial on WDFS is a concise reference, and excellent reading for code-headed design runts like myself. I'm good on nuts and bolts, all the way, and creative enough to generate decent design. But design deserves more attention on this site. And the Basics at WDFS really make some excellent points:

Basics explores the factors that influence communication between web-based content and the people who use it. Basics also describes methods for approaching the discipline of web design, to help you maximise the success you get for your effort.

Here's another example from the web design process section: "A goal should be described in the present tense, such as: 'This site is complete. It communicates a compelling message of capability and expertise."

I like the sound of that, "capability and expertise". Very nice combination.
