I do a lot of web browsing (we all do). Mostly to look at websites for inspiration and other stuff… But let’s stick to the web inspiration for now. These are some of the best responsive websites October 2013, that I’ve recently found and I’m going to try to post every week / month, sharing some inspiration.
I decided to put together a little list of some web design conferences 2013 you should check out. Right now there are not many listed for 2013, so I did my best, so you’ll have a lot of time to plan.
