A young monk is taken by his teacher to a cave in the mountains. It is there he will learn to live, to deepen his mind, and to code.

Chopping wood, carrying water, and practicing meditation and kung fu by sunlight in the day, memorizing CSS standards by monitor-glow at night, the young monk studies design, color, and usability statistics for years, honing his skills with weapons and Wordpress both, all in service to the greater good.

What greater good? The good of his future patrons, who would one day be spared the humiliation of dealing with elitist web designers, only interested in padding their own portfolios, and rendering massive, Flash-laden, user- and owner-unfriendly websites that become the bane of the web.

The young monk’s mission: to provide clean, beautiful, engaging websites that are as enjoyable to own and maintain as they are to browse.

Monk at Work Webdesign is Born

For those of you who have enjoyed the Monk at Work articles and posts in the past, have no fear — they are still here.

Monk at Work is going through an extensive redesign right now… to rise from the ashes of its former self very soon. Stay tuned. And, thank you for your patience (it’s a virtue, after all).

What is now known is that the Monk has left his remote cave in the mountains in favor of a high-speed connection, and is currently creating websites for patrons who wish to experience the bliss that comes from having a business-savvy, hand-crafted website.
