McFarlane Prize 2009
No, I didn’t win… but I was in the top 50!
The McFarlane Prize is for Excellence in Australian Web Design. It’s judged based on accessibility, usability, the design, and the code behind it all. I submitted DouglasHeriot.com when it wasn’t even finished yet (it still isn’t, but it was even less-finished than it is now), and didn’t ever expect anything to come of it.
It was 6 months ago now when I got an email:
They said they were going to publish a book of the top 50, and I had 2 days to send in a few things! I sent them everything they asked for, and then didn’t hear anything back for another 6 months.
Today, I got another email, saying that I can now get my free copy of the book!
You can see a preview on the publisher’s website. (I’m on page 42-43)
