Jeffrey Zeldman : Founder, Executive Creative Director, Happy Cog Studios
One of the first web designers, Zeldman has had a pronounced impact on the medium and the profession.
In 1995, the former art director and copywriter launched one of the first personal sites and began publishing widely read tutorials on methods and principles of web design. In 1998 he co-founded The Web Standards Project, a grassroots coalition that persuaded Microsoft and Netscape to support the same technologies in their browsers. That same year he began publishing A List Apart “for people who make websites.” It has become one of the most respected and influential magazines in the field.
