For A Beautiful Web is a series of web design master-classes, hosted by world renowned web designer and author Andy Clarke, covering topics including visual design for the web, best-practice mark-up and progressive CSS, cool Microformats and practical web accessibility design and techniques.

We keep our audiences small so that everyone will get individual attention and we back up the knowledge that you will go home with, with the highest quality take away materials. Say “hello” to the For A Beautiful Web series of web design master-classes.

Andy inspires consistently. This was the second course I’ve attended and once again I’m going away from it ready to go to work (even on a Friday afternoon)!

We are really excited about For A Beautiful Web and to meeting new people along the way. We hope we will see you there.

Your host, Andy Clarke

Andy Clarke has been called a lot of things since he started working on the web ten years ago. His ego likes words like “ambassador for CSS”, “industry prophet” and “inspiring”, but actually he is most proud that Jeffrey Zeldman once called him a “bastard”.

Andy is a member of the Web Standards Project and a former invited expert to the W3C’s CSS Working Group. He took ten months out of his life to write the best-selling book Transcending CSS: The Fine Art Of Web Design, but Andy’s passion is amazing web design. He loves making designs for the web, writing about design and teaching it at workshops and conferences all of the world.
