We invited to the Design Alliance website webmaster He Minhua (wind son) and everyone chat.

Visual Alliance: Hello, Wind, first to our readers to introduce the design of the Alliance at the beginning of the establishment of some cases?

Wind: Design Alliance site was established on November 17, 2000. Do you know the wind chimes? http://www.windbell.net

The design alliance was first transferred from my wind chimes. In the beginning is only for Shenzhen friend, later, re-register domain name www.chinadu.org used to now. Many of the old friends of the wind chimes are still on the alliance now. A lot of difficulties were encountered at first. The main is the server is not stable. It's good now. We already have our own server.

We have been in the first domestic industry exchange, is from our launch. This makes me very memorable, of course, can miss more people. Things are more.

Visual Alliance: What is the biggest difficulty that the design alliance encounters at the beginning of its existence? What other problems do you usually encounter during the development stage of the website?

Wind: The biggest difficulty is that there is no server of their own, always put in a friend or the space station above, bad themselves are not control, so the server must be needed. Development phase of a lot of problems, to be overcome, the main or insist on their own, adhere to, and then adhere to. Everything's fine. For the new site, it is best not too follow the trend, to have their own unique things, I think too much to provide free material and so may not be able to drive the development of the site, think, this and download the site What is the difference? So start from your own perspective and see what your strengths are. And then go in this way.

Visual Alliance: The Design Alliance has been established for nearly 5 years, what changes have you felt in the field of designing the website for 5 years?

Wind son: Now many friends have this resource, the idea is also more up, many excellent design sites are springing up, very appreciate them also bless them.

Visual Alliance: What kind of management form does the design Alliance team adopt? How do you view the problem of team management?

Wind son: are some old friends in the management, there is no special management. We often open meetings to exchange ideas and feelings. Forum and site responsible for a clear division of labor, is still mainly civil form, there is no commercial operation. Team management is a very learned art, but also network management, I still need to improve this aspect, this is not just a matter of personal charm, but also includes a variety of ways to deal with things.

Visual Alliance: Would you please introduce the Design Alliance labs and electronic magazines?

Wind: laboratory and electronic magazines are together, by the laboratory members in operation, is mainly to achieve some of the designer's own idea of an experimental platform.

What do you think of blog? Does the design alliance have a plan to add a blog?

Blog is a trend, I estimate later will have more good features, design Alliance temporarily do not have this idea, of course, when the right time to try also may not be.

Visual Alliance: Design Alliance currently has more than 70,000 members, what do you think the design alliance is most attractive to users?

Wind: I do not know what attracts the user is what place, may be accumulation of it, at present we have a lot of need to improve the place, may be supplemented by some of the designers interested in things. The biggest feature of the present is that there is no feature. So, to be revised.

Visual Alliance: What do you think of the status quo and development prospects of domestic design websites?

Wind son: Still have very big development foreground. After all, is now maturing.

Visual Alliance: What are the main sources of funding for the current design affiliate website?

Wind: I and my technical partners mainly provide the funds of the server, others have no source of funding. A mere loss of business. But there is no way, who called has done it.

Visual Alliance: How do you plan to make a design affiliate website profitable?

Feng Zi: said did not consider that is false, but want to design a website to make profit is not so easy, this question seems to be considered several. I don't have any good ideas at the moment.

Visual Alliance: The previous stage by the news that venture capital is focusing on China's design industry website, what do you think of this problem?

Wind son: I have not heard, do not know how the future development. It would have been better if there had been. Looking forward to a day of elated.

Visual Alliance: What is the future direction of the design alliance? What are the specific plans?

Wind Son: The direction of development will not change, is still for the vast number of design friends to provide Exchange services, the specific plan is a year ago, a lot of fresh things.

Visual Alliance: You use a sentence to summarize the development of design alliances and expectations of the future bar
