Web Design for Dictators
Web Design for Dictators No problem, web-design is an 'art. Search for the right mix of style and usability is a delicate balance that few, if any, fully master. Which is why I am very tired, point-point AF demanding reading lists and what you should do, but should not build your website. These dictators of web design are the mysterious illusion that stumbled on exactly the right balance between functionality and beauty. Do you think that his Anglo Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel after reading an article entitled "10 steps to perfect renaissance art"? Hmm. What these designers are really saying is: "My idea of what makes a good website is worth more than all your opinion and on the contrary, is destined to fail." There are no right and wrong ways to design a website. Any technique that you have ever been told is wrong, it can be used successfully in the right setting. And similarly, a technique that has also been said is correct, there can be a total failure in the hands of the laity. The next time you visit an article on web design, as I recall, this is just an opinion. It is not a right, not wrong, just an opinion. Actually, better yet, keep the text of ideas. Instead, spend your time on websites, in reality, not in the mind of writer imaginationless. Visit sites that are programmer and hobby visit other web sites maintained by professionals. The Inteet is full of original ideas, and are not the sole domain of experts. Everyone can do something new or different. If you are building your website, visit a few hundred others before. Choose the good, the bad and the ugly, and use it as a springboard for his own masterpiece. If someone with more experience I would like to give you advice, to listen, but do not automatically assume that they need to know it better. Have the courage and conviction, to experiment and decide for themselves what works. Because, although the techniques can be taught art, fantasy art cannot.David Congreave is the owner of Ortica newsletter, the newsletter business for the home - on-line.
