“Good web design is about the character of the content, not the character of the designer.” - Jeffrey Zeldman

This quote was mentioned in Jeffrey’s 2008 An Event Apart presentation as well as his presentation at the 2008 AIGA Business and Design Conference.

Thanks to Derek Nelson (@dN_redNests) for pointing out this quote!
