About Us Team, Impressum, Legal Notice

Smashing Family

Founded in September 2006 in Germany, Smashing Magazine delivers reliable, useful, but most importantly practical articles to web designers and developers. We don’t care about trends; we care about things that work or fail in actual projects. We are — and always have been — independent. 14+ years, and still ongoing.

The Smashing Cat is heading back to New York.

Quality Matters

We care about quality content. We never wanted to be a big publishing house: Our team is small, but it’s a truly wonderful team of people who really care about what they do. Passionate and dedicated. Honest and respectful. Professional but informal. Quirky and personal.

Through our articles, digital books, job openings, conferences and membership, we are committed to nourishing productivity, improving design and development skills and finessing the work-life balance. Getting better, together, by learning from each other — that’s the spirit that has been our mantra for all these years.

Advertising on Smashing Magazine

We don’t have much advertising on our site apart from a few spots that help us pay the bills. We look for advertisers who provide a product or service that fits the needs of a web designer or developer.

Smashing Magazine’s Experts Panel

Before an article is published, it’s reviewed by independent reviewers — respected members of the design community who provide feedback to authors and review technical details. We are very grateful for the fantastic work of our Experts Panel; the magazine wouldn’t have the same quality without their profound expertise and support.
