Webmaster

I love the design network www.52design.com a special website dedicated to disseminating design culture, researching and designing art, exchanging design techniques, and improving the public's aesthetic consciousness; recently, I love designing nets. Webmaster a fight to accept the Visual Alliance website interview.

Visual League: Last Officer Hello, can talk about the beginning of the establishment of 52design some of the situation?

Last Officer a fight: 2001 was formally established, at that time because of their own study is the design, especially the design preferences, so the germination of their own to do a domestic design site.

At first as a personal homepage of the positioning to design, who knows more to do the content more;

Remember that at that time the 52design did not have any program support (they did not understand the Web program at that time) the entire site by a large number of static pages built, every day to go to work at the same time to make a lot of pages to update 52design, it was a little tired Can be said that at that time 52design is a large number of static pages to build a messy site; why the chaos, because the early planning is not in place, so many channels and content are very messy, these in the next few years of operation have a qualitative change.

Visual Alliance: What is the biggest difficulty in the beginning of the 52design establishment?

Last officer a fight: 52design The first time the biggest trouble is the site of the program, then they do not understand the Web program, and no one to guide, at that time is not like there are many free program reference; So at that time the most headache problem is the site update;

With the continuous development of the site, met a lot of friends at the same time have a lot of free program resources online Support, gradually 52design has its own web site procedures. The program is good to update the natural fluent, coupled with friends of mutual publicity and support, site traffic is gradually rising, this time there is a new problem: server resources and bandwidth; This problem does not solve will seriously affect the development of the site; Luckily, I met old FLASH8. Tomb) and Lakesea (5D Multimedia ban), two-bit in time to help me solve the problem, here also want to thank their support!! And of course, thanks to all the other friends who have supported and cared about 52.

Visual Alliance: What do you think is the biggest feature of 52design compared to other design sites?

Last officer a fight: In fact, the domestic design site more and more people, content and services are almost the same, 52design is not what has its own unique characteristics, the Internet 's biggest feature is openness, each site once has its own characteristics will soon be another site to continue, So I can only say that we have some of the original basic services and content continue to run, as for the characteristics I have been constantly digging, if we have good ideas, but also hope that a lot and I exchange: common development.

Visual Alliance: What type of user group (occupation, age, etc.) is targeted at 52design? What columns do users like to visit most?

Last Officer a stroke: 52design visitors are engaged in the IT industry, design and production personnel, age structure should be around 16-30 years old, we are more concerned about the information from our statistics to see

Care about the design resources accounted for 40%

Focus on the latest races in China 20%

20% of Tutorials on learning-related technology

Other 20%

Visual Alliance: 52design What is the main source of funding for the current operation?

Last officer a stroke: At present basically rely on my personal income Support site development, 52design of several sub-station server by the partner to provide support or some friends help, so the temporary cost is not big. In addition to the site's monthly advertising revenue, should be in the current look or can support the development of the site!

Visual Alliance: If there is more money to support, 52design will have what kind of change?

Last Officer a stroke: if there is capital investment, first we will put all the resources together, remove commercial advertising, provide everyone a more clean learning space, and all resources and tutorials do not scale data expansion, so that you can see more learning tutorials, access to more design resources. Our mission is to go with the design enthusiasts and push the visual communication to the Summit.

Visual Alliance: In the previous phase, there was news that venture capital is looking at the domestic design industry, how do you look at this problem?

Last officer a stroke: there is money to invest is good, if someone invest me I am also very happy:

But it also requires a good measure of the outcome of the investment, if completely commercialized, I think it is not a good thing for the design industry, I hope that venture capital can better promote the formal and professional development of the design industry, and if the result of the investment led to the entire design industry completely away from the design of the theme of the business model, That would be too sorry. Support the design industry, and constantly willing to engage and always adhere to the field of design industry new and old friends:

Visual Alliance: How do you think the site will enter a benign capital cycle? What are the specific measures?

Last officer a fight: first of their own site to have a certain readability, easy to read to allow users to recognize you; A site not recognized by users is naturally not a virtuous circle. In addition, is the location of the problem, see the current is to put the profit first or put the user first;

Profit first, perhaps you can get short-term benefits, but can not rally popularity, the user's browsing starting point is not the same, not to mention the full exchange of sex; Such operations, most of which will lead to vicious capital cycle, can not be long!

If you put the user first at the beginning, gradually in the operation into a number of ancillary charges, or by a certain amount of traffic to undertake some advertising or business activities, so that not only promote their own, while taking into account the user, such operations I personally is very advocated, it should be only in this way to truly achieve a benign capital cycle!

Visual Alliance: What do you think about the current situation and development prospects of the design websites in China? What web site development model is worth learning?

Last officer a stroke: the current domestic design site more and more people engaged in the design industry more and more. Design Web site Development and design production difficulty coefficient is getting lower, this is a good phenomenon is also a bad phenomenon. Good phenomenon means that everyone's level of technology is constantly rising, design capacity is constantly improving. The bad phenomenon is that, because the site construction starting point is not high, so many design sites are mixed, to the end, we do not know which station is good, a large number of mutual reprint of propaganda is good, but the development of the site is more harmful than benefits. Forever reprint will lead to the demise of the site.

"Design site to have their own characteristics", although I have just said, in fact, many sites do not have their own unique characteristics or difficult to maintain their unique characteristics. However, each feature is a source of hair, I hope that everyone to do their own unique source of origin.

"Blue Ideal website" is a site that I like and adore very much, the blue oneself is also very good to get along with, the 52design development also thanks his support. "Blue Ideal Site" positioning is "committed to research website design and Development Technology", where convergence of many outstanding domestic development, design staff. Because their positioning is very accurate, and the entire site has maintained a very good atmosphere of communication, so can become the authority of the domestic excellent design site

Visual Alliance: 52design What are the future plans?

Last officer a fight: Continue to go our own way, from the most basic to start, the foundation of the prison, to be worthy of all concerned about supporting our friends.

Visual Alliance: Can you summarize the development of 52design and the expectation of the future in a word?

Last officer a stroke: Bumpy road, bright future;

Visual Alliance: Say a few words to users who have supported 52design for years?

Last Officer a stroke: 52design was founded in 2001, over the years to date, we have been countless friends of concern and support. In our most difficult time, there are always many friends in the attention, support us. It is because of the selfless dedication of all of us that we can move forward step-by-step.

The members of our team are creating and changing 52design by virtue of their continuous technological advances. Maybe we are not the best, but we have been trying to do better.
