The Deadliest Twister in U.S. History The weather forecast for much of the Midwest on March 18, 1925, predicted "Wind and rain." This prediction was right, but lethally inadequate. Around 1 p.m., a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri, and charged relentlessly for three and a half hours across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The destructive storm left schools and workplaces leveled, over 600 dead and 1,600 injured in its two-hundred-nineteen-mile wake--earning it the name, the Great American Tornado. A nation united, doctors and nurses rushed aboard express trains. The Red Cross orchestrated an enduring six-month relief campaign, and people contributed funds and condolences from around the world. Amidst the staggering ruin, volunteers, the Red Cross, and ordinary heroes like Isaac Levy spearheaded awe-inspiring recovery efforts that rivaled the powerful storm.

This book is for freelance and agency designers and developers. It's for clients and business owners, entrepreneurs, and everyone interested in making their website better. Based on nearly 15 years of experience, Justin Harter considers the questions and topics that come up most often when approached about a website.

Designers and clients alike will learn better questions to ask -- for both sides -- before, during, and after you sign a contract. You'll read how to achieve mastery in your website and your business. Justin shows how developers and designers can develop and design better websites without succumbing to trite trends and useless features.
