We spoke to developer Dan Carlyon (https:\/\/dancarlyon.co.uk\/<\/a>) to get his thoughts on the state of the industry, strategies for working with non-technical clients, going minimalist, and helpful hobbies\u2026<\/p>\n

Hi Dan, tell us a bit about yourself (e.g. how you got into the industry, why you decided to develop websites).<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is always an interesting question for me to answer; when I was growing up I had always wanted to be a chef. So that\u2019s what I did, left school after my GCSEs, went to college to do an apprenticeship and got my qualification. Not long after getting my qualification the place I was working shut down. I faced the same issue most young people face which was not enough experience. So I was out of work for quite some time applying for jobs, however I needed something to keep myself entertained which I took a leaf out of my brother\u2019s book (he\u2019s a developer) and started teaching myself basic HTML.<\/p>\n

I eventually got a job as a meter reader, but at the same time my interest in websites and coding had grown. I started collecting books following tutorials and guides online and over the course of about 4 years taught myself PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery, and MySQL. Again, still lacking commercial experience I was given the opportunity to work in SEO and was later transferred into the web department. Ever since then I have continued to learn and develop my skills.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things developers typically find challenging is creating a portfolio website that looks attractive and showcases their work well. What tips would you give to developers who aren\u2019t so hot at design?<\/strong><\/p>\n

KISS – \u201cKeep it simple, stupid\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keeping it simple\u00a0is best in my opinion. If you have too much clutter or too many colours, you are distracting people who are looking at your portfolio. All you really need is a nice screenshot of it (as the website may change), a link so people can view the live site, and a bit of a synopsis explaining what you did, why and maybe a bit about who you did the site for. Other than that everything else is just clutter. The links to live sites are hugely beneficial as nothing beats being able to look at and interact with the live version of that site.<\/p>\n

\n

DanCarlyon. co.uk is a very minimalist website. Why did you decide to go down this route and what advantages does it have?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This follows on from my previous answer. Minimalism is simple, it\u2019s easy to read and look at. So many times you come across websites with things scrolling, flashing moving around or the content is clumped together you just don\u2019t know where to look. Some just give you headaches and click away. Minimalism doesn\u2019t mean you lack skills either; if anything it shows more skills being able to get your information across in a minimalistic way. Minimalism makes it easy to read, split content off into blocks so users can focus on one bit then move to the next, and allows you to get straight to the point with your content.<\/p>\n

\n

What do you enjoy most about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything. I currently work for a digital agency in Manchester called UPSearch Digital<\/a>\u00a0and being a digital agency it\u2019s different every day. It\u2019s always a new challenge, but at the same time I also get to work on projects that take weeks or more to develop. Each site and each client has their own specifics for the project and their own ideas about what they want\/need from their website, so every project is different and presents a new challenge. Even if I had three WordPress- based websites lined up each one would have its own functionality that makes it unique to the rest. This rings even more true with custom bespoke builds. I recently got the chance to work on a large project for a B2B perfume wholesaler that challenged all of the developers involved with the functionality they were requesting, and it\u2019s that challenge that makes developing fun and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone looking to get into the web industry as a designer or a developer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put everything you\u2019ve got into it. There is no point in putting half of your effort into it. If you want to make it as either a designer or a developer you have to live and breathe it. You also can\u2019t rely solely on a university degree. The digital industry is forever changing, trends are always changing with the times,\u00a0 you have to stay ahead of the game, read blogs, books, develop\/design outside of work. This doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a social life, in fact it\u2019s better to have that social life too, especially to interact and network with other developers and designers.<\/p>\n

You have to have a huge will and dedication to learn. Having qualifications means nothing if you don\u2019t keep up with trends and what\u2019s going on in the industry.<\/p>\n

\n

If you could change one thing about the web industry, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unifying browser rendering and compatibilities. It is my biggest bugbear when developing websites to need to have different code to make websites work in different browsers. Even to the point of responsive development, you have to have a bank of devices available to test and develop properly. Otherwise one day you have a client pop up saying it doesn\u2019t work on the Latest XYZ phone, the one device you hadn\u2019t tested on. Browser testing websites can only test so much – nothing beats actually testing it on the real browser\/device. It would be a dream come true to have one lot of code that works on every device and browser in the world flawlessly and could cut development times and costs.<\/p>\n

\n

Working with non-technical clients can be a huge challenge. What strategies would you recommend for dealing with clients who aren\u2019t familiar with websites and domain names?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is indeed a difficult challenge but it can be solved with the KISS principles again. Keep it simple. Try and avoid throwing a load of acronyms and technical words at them, it may baffle them and make you feel smart because you know what they are but the client is not going to be any wiser for you saying them. Explain the processes without going too technical.<\/p>\n

For example, with domains you do not need to talk about the DNS or the TTLs. The client isn\u2019t going to know what any of them are and most won\u2019t even care or want to know what they are. Instead I would say, \u201cWe\u2019re going to take your domain and point it to its new home, or to the new server, it\u2019ll take up to X hours to complete and then it will be done\u201d. With that you\u2019ve told them that something\u2019s going to happen, it\u2019s going to take a bit of time, and then it will be complete. That\u2019s all they really need and want to know. If they can understand that then their impression of you increases as they know you’re not trying to pull the wool over their eyes.<\/p>\n

All they really want to know is, 1) Are you dealing with it, 2) how long is it going to take, 3) what are the benefits of whatever it is you are doing and finally 4) how much is it going to cost.<\/p>\n

\n

What hobbies and interests do you have that complement your role as a web developer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do a fair bit of development outside of work trying new things, particularly JavaScript based code. I like to toy around with making tools that could potentially help colleagues in the office (like website QA tools). I\u2019m always on Twitter and because of the people I follow read a lot of blog posts around development and design. I enjoy reading magazines like .net magazine and checking out their websites and the \u201cHow we made X\u201d website section. I also really enjoy learning new bits of code and trying out new bits of software to streamline development.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to host your website with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main reasons are price, reliability and ease of use. Those mixed together maker a killer combination. There have been times as well where I have had to open a support ticket and issues were answered and resolved very quickly (even non-urgent issues). The reliability of the domain name hosting has been second to none and because of that have no interest in moving elsewhere. Those first three points are what makes or breaks it in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\n

What projects and challenges are you looking forward to in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year I\u2019m going to be attempting to get my Magento Developer Qualification which is really exciting. I\u2019ve heard it can be quite a challenge but as you\u2019ve probably guessed, I\u2019m always up for a challenge. Equally exciting, there\u2019s also expansion happening within UPSearch which will see me taking lead of the web department. There are also a couple of websites that I\u2019m looking forward to putting live but unfortunately I can\u2019t say too much about them. One is for a large magazine and the other is for a company that is rebranding which has allowed me some creative freedom. Hopefully this year I will also be able to attend more conferences like jQuery Conf and would be nice to get to a Smashing Magazine conference too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
