Pittsburgh Web Design Day 09: Redux
Sunday, April 5th, 2009I’ve got only one word to explain the experience. WOW!
What is Pittsburgh Web Design Day?
Pittsburgh Web Design was a one day conference organized by Jason and Val Head of Refresh Pittsburgh and On The Fridge.
My Impressions
This was a top notch one day conference. Jason and Val really out did themselves. The speakers were fantastic, the space was wonderful, and Franktuary + perogies = awesome!
The Speakers featured local and regional web guru’s with some sort of tie to Pittsburgh. I was really amazed at how each session referenced, echoed, and built on prior sessions reinforcing concepts, philosophies, and techniques. It was like a symphony of awesome information.
I am truly honored to have been apart of it. The speakers were Geoff Barnes, Chris Cashdollar, Val Head, Whitney Hess, Jason Robb, myself, and Samantha Warren.
The entire day was chalked full of great conversations, new friendships, stimulating debates, and all around good times. Did I mention Happy Cog was there (Chris and Kevin Hoffman)
The Story of a Web Project
I was floored by the positive reaction to my session. When I was putting it together I had my doubts. Thank you all for your positive feedback, suggestions, and conversations.
As promised I’m posting my slides accompanied with a few other documents to help you establish your own processes.

Once again I want to thank all everyone for the great time and especially Jason and Val for the opportunity.
