About this Blog
I love developing database Web applications and websites, but I also have a great passion for how users interact with them too. You will find me blogging about all things related to the user experience including Customer-Centered Web Design, Personas, and Interaction Design, along with Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Radiant CMS.
Firsthand Web Design in Montréal is the studio of Nicholas Henry developing Ruby on Rails applications and Content Management Systems with Radiant CMS.
Contact me today to develop your next web application.
