Thats some damn good design skill there, I think everyone can learn a bit of something from this guy. He is a true designer, through and through.I'm impressed, and it takes a hell of a lot to impress me normally.
The designs are nice. However he says coding is the easy part. I would suggest that is because he doesn't bother testing his pages rigorously. For example on Mac Firefox 1.5, his "Dragon Labs" page looks fine until I turned on javascript. Then the chapter heads broke, and the "liquid layout" was a mess during resizing. I've looked at some of his other sites, and lack of attention to browser compatibility shows up in most of them.You just can't be a pro web developer without considering browser compatibility.
Granted, although sometimes clients are clueless and they have no idea what they want, let alone any content. And if I'm permitted to assume, anybody who hires a 16 year old web designer probably doesn't know what they're doing and are probably thinking that "kids these days know everything about computers, what with their interfriends on the hyperspace with the bits and bites and whatsuch."

Amazing article, it's not the first of it's kind, I did my own a few weeks back (<a class="user" href="http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-design-process),">http://www.devlounge.net/articles/the-design-process),</a> but he has out done me by lengths. This is a truly great read. As for the person who was complaining about the kid being 16, maybe you should be concerned with your own sites design, before ragging on someone because of his age.

Off the top of my head he's the best 16 year old designer that I've seen. But he is still 16 so don't get to caught up on what he doesn't know yet.
