Just as designers benefit from learning a little bit about programming, programmers, marketers, product managers, and salesfolk, can benefit from learning a little bit about design. https://microconfonair.com Tracy Osborn is the Program Manager of TinySeed, Founder of WeddingLovely, and an all around genius when it comes to operational efficiency and web design. Her book, Hello Web Design, will be published nationally, and is available for pre-order at https://nostarch.com/hello-web-design. What elements should you consider when making a choice about fonts for your website? "Too many cooks spoil the broth": does too many designers spoil the design too? What factors should founders consider when getting a logo designed? Should they always go bespoke? What's the cost for a custom logo design generally? I find that most dev-tools screenshots of their features can be a bit busy or boring (sometimes it’s code, numbers, analytics etc.).
