Over on the Reflect website, we are starting to feature websites being built using the CMS. The first of our showcased sites is from our good friend Jina Bolton. She recently launched a new website, Sushi & Robots that is sitting on top of our Reflect CMS. Congrats to Jina! The site looks great, and thank you for all of your great work, valuable feedback, and patience.
What makes one a web design professional?
If you make websites for money, you could possibly say you’re a web design professional. However, I know I wouldn’t want to get surgery from a guy who just decided to become a doctor, but hasn’t had any training. I’m not saying you have to go to school to become a web design professional. Experience and research can be everything you need. But if you’ve just picked it up as a hobby, and don’t put the serious time into learning the “right way” to do things, and don’t read up on web standards, then I’ll be honest in saying I will have a hard time believing that you’re a web design professional.

Well said, Jina. Be sure to check out the rest of the interview with Jina as she discusses her passion for such things as typography, user experience, and interface design.
