After more than twenty years, the webdesign-l list has permanently been shut down. Thanks to everyone who made it the best mailing list on the Internet.

WebDesign-L is a mailing list community created in early 1997. The list is intended as a forum for those involved in creating the Web — whether for business, for self-expression, or for exploring the possibilities of a new medium.

The list community continues in order that we might share our sundry experiences and perspectives with others. In and out of that shared knowledge we hope to build a new sense of ourselves as practitioners of Web design and development.

Originally chartered to address both “page design” and “site architecture”, the list has grown organically to cover most any topic related to the Web as a profession or as a labor of love.

In essence, if you're a Web designer or developer, or work with people who are, and share a commitment to building a community around the profession, please consider yourself welcome to participate.
