Top 5 Blogs About Web Design and Development

There is a lot of information out there about website design and development. There are a lot of ideas, opinions, comments, and content. There is also a lot of noise and it can be difficult knowing where to find the best information to help you develop your craft.

So why not create a list of the best design and development blogs? Disclaimer: I got the idea for this list from CodeinWP.

In this article I take a look at the 100 best blogs and websites for web designers and developers. I’ve given a short description about each one and I’ve carefully chosen two articles that clearly demonstrate what the site has to offer. They’re in no particular order.
