One of my resources that I’ve mainly been keeping to myself over the past 2 years is a talent web designer who lives in a small (population 10,000) Australian town of Maryborough.

Ryan Jackson AKA DesignGuruRyan, developed the template for this blog and designed and created almost all my product and affiliate sites too. (I take credit for the ugly ones…)

Besides my sites, Ryan’s also been involved with the site design for Mike Filsaime’s 7FigureSecrets and Chris McNeeney’s DayJobKiller product websites.

During our discussion, we talked about:

• Offline design vs online web design
• Incorporating direct response marketing elements into your web design
• The rise of “Web 2.0” design elements in websites (and how to incoporate them)
• Bootstrapping design resources for marketers on a budget
