Launching Web Design Tuts

August 25th, 2009 | by admin |

Well I knew it couldn’t stay a secret for­ever. Today, after writ­ing a 6 hour, 2,000 word Pho­to­shop tuto­r­ial, I went ahead and did an early-​​open for Web Design Tuts. I rolled out a cou­ple of Twit­ter updates to get a few people’s reac­tions to the site. Some loved it. Some hated it.

@BuildInternet was the first to actu­ally look up Web Design Tuts on Who Is and noticed that the name­servers were pointed to Elite By Design. And the secret was out!

So yes, I am launch­ing Web Design Tuts as a com­pan­ion site to Elite By Design. I’ve writ­ten some posts in the past here on EBD about web design, but there was some­thing within me that wanted to take it fur­ther and really push myself to teach other peo­ple what I know, and grow as a designer in the process. I plan on writ­ing one post per week at first on both Web Design Tuts and Elite By Design. As the sites gain more momen­tum, I’ll be more com­fort­able increas­ing the post­ing rate and even hir­ing some guest posters down the road.

Until then, feel free to check out Web Design Tuts and read How To Design The PSD Tuts Web­site In Pho­to­shop. Please be sure to sub­scribe to the feed so you can get updated when our next post rolls out.

On a side note, I’ve received a few emails, direct mes­sages, and com­ments call­ing me out on copy­ing PSD Tuts in nam­ing the site Web Design Tuts. In fact, just a few min­utes after launch I already had some­one hat­ing the blog.

Let me assure you a cou­ple of things:

  1. I didn’t name the web­site to try and emu­late or imper­son­ate Col­lis and his won­der­ful websites.
  2. I am not affil­i­ated with the Envato network.
  3. I sup­port Col­lis and the Envato net­work and I am in no way try­ing to push my site by ‘play­ing their name.’

If you have any­thing you’d like to talk to me about in regards to Elite By Design, Web Design Tuts, or if you’d just like to leave your opin­ion, don’t hes­i­tate to com­ment on this post or get in touch with me.

I look for­ward to hear­ing your thoughts and opin­ions on the new site.
