Studio Zeldman and A List Apart
Jeffrey Zeldman is one of the foundational figures in modern web design. Through A List Apart, Happy Cog, Studio Zeldman, An Event Apart and his writing on web standards, he helped professionalize the field and push it toward better structure, accessibility and standards based practice. His strength is not only visual design, but industry leadership. He helped shape the language and values of web design at a time when the web was still becoming a serious professional discipline.
