About Us

Founded in September 2006, Smashing Magazine delivers useful and innovative information for designers and web-developers. Our aim is to inform our readers about the latest trends and techniques in web-development - clearly, precisely and regularly. We don’t try to convince you with the quantity, but with the quality of the information we present. That’s what makes us different. In fact, we smash you with the information which will make your life easier. Really.

Why Smashing Magazine? Well, why not? We smash our readers with information which might be useful for them, even although they haven’t realized it yet.

Who are we?

Smashing Magazine is maintained by Sven Lennartz, the owner of the Dr. Web Magazine and Vitaly Friedman, the creator of The Web Developer’s Handbook and the book author of Praxisbuch Web 2.0.

We can offer you some attractive ad spots. Please send a brief email to advertising@smashingmagazine.com (Michael Dobler), we’ll be in touch shortly.

Please notice that we would never publish paid content as we would never write reviews about your company or your products unless we find them useful for web-developers. The articles published on Smashing Magazine are objective; the quality of each article is defined by its degree of utility. We respect our visitors and protect their interests. This is the main principle of our work.

Behind the scenes

Shaun Ellis, from the Juxtaviews team, has recently interviewed and featured Smashing Magazine on Juxtaviews web-site. The article gives you some insights in the way we work, come up with topics to write about and communicate with our readers.

Excerpts from the article:

“…The basic idea behind both Web Developer’s Handbook and Smashing Magazine is the same. You see, what I created with Web Developer’s Handbook was an organized collection of references one should always have ready to hand developing web-sites. Smashing Magazine goes a slightly different road - we find some topic we’re excited about and search in the Web for professional references or solutions for given problems.”

“…Source for inspiration? Mostly that are just problems we have and solutions we find during design process (my case) or publishing new articles in Dr. Web (Sven’s case). As I’ve mentioned before, it’s nice to have useful references in one single place. For instance, collecting information for the post 83 Beautiful Wordpress Themes You (Probably) Haven’t Seen had cost us a lot of time, but now I don’t have to Google any more if I am looking for some beautiful Wordpress theme. Doing something for yourself and presenting it then to the public is simple, but it can be very useful - in our case particularly for web-developers. Actually, I was just looking for some useful stuff for a web-project I am working on right now.”

“…So our basic aim is to help web-developers get the information they are actually looking for. We want to make sure that the valuable information we have, collect, or stumble upon is available for people who might actually use it for their creative works.”

“…It takes many hours of hard work to write the articles which are already published. All resources are hand-picked and selected manually. We want to achieve the highest quality content and present it to a broad audience.”

“…In fact, we put a lot of thinking in before posting every single article. We try to provide what we personally understand to be quality material. We present information which we ourselves would like to bookmark once it appears online. Ironically, if I am looking for something in the Web, I go to Smashing magazine myself, because it’s handy to keep all the useful stuff in one place.”

Full interview can be found in the article Smashing Magazine Interview.

We’ve also been featured on Fadtastic; Andrew Faulkner asked us few questions which resulted in the quite comprehensive Fadtastic Interview With Smashing Magazine. Some excerpts:

“…Every article posted on Smashing Magazine has to be useful. The degree of utility defines the nature of our content. With every post we publish we try to smash our readers with the information that will make their life easier. This is our tagline, our basic aim and this is what we’ve been doing over the last 12 months.”

“…The topics always result from the recent problems we’ve been recently dealing with. Once we’ve stumbled upon some problem we don’t know the answer to, or have found something useful / interesting, we start to search for answers and related resources. This usually results in comprehensive articles about a given topic. Why would someone do this? Basically, because we are extremely curious.”

“…Cameron Moll said once: “Don’t design to decorate, design to communicate”. This is extremely important. Design is a mean of communication, it doesn’t serve the purpose to simply exist - indeed, it should be based upon the usability layer. It is important that more designers realize that usable and functional web-sites build the foundation of successful web-sites. Gorgeous design can wait. We, at Smashingmagazine.com, still don’t have it. We’re not sure we’ll ever have.”

Full interview can be found in the article Interview With Smashing Magazine.

Server issues

In December 2007 we experienced serious server problems. Here is the article of what happened then and the company which has caused us so much trouble. In German.

Testimonials

“Lists are a firm favourite on the Net, as a regular glance at the Digg home page will tell you. What gives us an idea of just how popular some lists are is the fact that Smashing Magazine is being touted by eBizMBA as the 25th most popular blog on the planet! and this is after only one year online for the lords of the lists for web dev resources. Outstanding!” (Quoi9 / August 07)

“Sites like Smashing Magazine have created a name for itself, very quickly, by publishing content that can’t easily be duplicated. They create massive lists of sites and resources that take a lot of time to put together. Those stand out.” (Copyblogger / August 07)

“How the hell…. can you NOT love SmashingMagazine?” (p0tent1al commenting on Digg / August 07)

“I’m a big fan of Smashing Magazine and appreciate the time and effort that goes into researching and writing their often exhaustive posts on web design tools, resources and techniques.” (Smiley Cat / May 07)

“If you only have time to read one blog everyday, read mine :) If you have time for another one, throw in SmashingMagazine.com. This is a great blog that I stay for around 30 minutes upon my first visit!” (KC HUT / August 07)

“If you looked up “Useful” in the dictionary, you’d see a screenshot of SmashingMagazine there next to it. Not only do they showcase great designs, but if you’re a web designer you’ll find their CSS tips and tricks, layout guides and other articles will have you itching to try new things with your next design.” (Freelance Switch / May 07)

“Hey, Smashing folks… you guys really do rock!” (Don Giannatti / August 07)

“Smashing Magazine is an extremely popular design and development blog which features rich content for geeks. Thousands of people subscribe and read Smashing Magazine daily.” (Dot Sauce / June 07)

“Perhaps you are familiar with the blog SmashingMagazine, if not suffice to say that if you looked up giant linkbait lists in the dictionary, the Smashing logo would be right there next to it.” (North x East / June 07)

“these guys just plain rock and roll.” (juxtaviews / August 07)

“Am not usually the one to write a big long review of a single tech journal/mag. By far most of the ones i’ve read are just about okay, nothing really made the cut. Smashing Magazine, true to its name did.” (Sindhu-S.Com / May 07)

So what now?

And finally some interesting site suggestions. Just for fun…

  • Caligraft
    The main idea behind this exhibition is to explore a new dimension of textual representation. The designers tried to consider the different possibilities of glyph, words and text representation and distribution in space and time.
  • Dreamlines
    Dreamlines is a non-linear, interactive visual experience. The user enters one or more words that define the subject of a dream he would like to dream. The system looks in the Web for images related to those words, and takes them as input to generate an ambiguous painting, in perpetual change, where elements fuse into one another, in a process analogous to memory and free association.
  • Nobody here
    Creative, inspiring, unusual.
  • Netdisaster
    Netdisaster is a web filter; it’s a fun toy only. The user chooses a target website. Netdisaster overlays an animation that simulates the destruction of the target-site by a disaster. The animation can go on automatically, or via mouse-control.
  • Amaztype
    A visual book search on Amazon.

    vlad (May 3rd, 2007, 7:55 pm)

    Hi!. One remark.
    I think the slogan is still in bad shape.
    Donna Brethauer pointed out (3 months ago :P ) a mistake regarding “which” and you added a comma, but somewhat lost the emphasis, i think. What she was suggesting is
    “we smash you with the information that will make your life easier. really.”

    I’m not a native english speaker, but i think that “that” cannot be preceded by a comma. At least, not in this context.

    However, i would suggest another kind of emphasis:
    “Information that will make your life easier. We smash you with it. Really.”

  28. 28.

    Smashing Mag has become one of the sites I visit the most. You’ve done an incredible job, and should be commended. Now, it’s time for you to go to a magazine-style layout. Just one WD’s opinion — a blog should be something you can read without clicks. Your articles are very long, and it calls for the magazine-style layout. If we have to click everytime anyway, I’d rather click that way…

    Hi all,
    I have been searching and wasting time in finding some useful tips for design and as well as for the web development until i found smashing magazine, it has been the only site i visit and i get most out of it for my exact needs and saves time

    The new UI of the website is buzzing.

    Hi,

    I like your site a lot. It is one of its kind. Your site gives an insite about every thing that is required by everyone. On thing that I would like to suggest you guys is that - kindly include “top 20 javascripts” also in your right sash. This will help the designers and developers to design prototypes more effeciently.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Ronnie

    Richard Francis Kay (October 17th, 2007, 9:39 pm)

    Does anybody here feel that Smashing Magazine should include After Effects as topic? There’s a lot out there like: Link [www.youtube.com]Let me know if there are more amongst me?

    My god !! This site is “THE” place to be for any web developer.
    There is just no limit to the content available on this website. Quantity, Quality and Variety…
    Like someone commented… this is like having google just for web developers !!

    WOW !!! I am exhausted of the content this site has… Even if I spend 8 hours a day on this site, still I have more to learn….

    Useful to all levels of web enthusiasts.

    I think you’re limiting some topics to 64 best, 80 best etc., please increase them to 100 best ! ;) i am sure there’re more than 100 solutions or ideas but that no kind of gives meaningful & abundant list. Probably smashing could be known as 100 best one stop resource…

    Great site. Everytime the feed goes black to denote new content I am in for a treat. To that end, I noticed that the images you embed in your feed to not render properly in IE7. I just get a placeholder.I am not having this problem with any other site at the moment. Thought you would like to know.

    Thanks again for the nice work.

    Out of all the web design and development resources I’ve found on the web throughout the years, Smashing Magazine is my favorite by far. Congratulations for the best web design blog I’ve ever read.
