I've recently been heavily involved in web design for a project I hope to be able to unveil fairly soon. We hired a professional, and I think the final result will be both functional and elegant.
But, alas, I made all the crucial decisions before reading this essay on 10 things a web designer would never tell you. It's amazing how few of these things I figured out myself. I'll be better prepared next time.
Umm…did you read the first 3 or so comments? Or maybe you don’t want to spoil it for others?
The secret is in what category I filed the item. And it’s not “Internet”.
I hope the new design is for this site, cuz, well, it really bites.
Alas, not. But I’m open to suggestions. But there are not funds to pay professionals….
Ah, that is subtle. Even a bit more subtle than the linked article itself.
It was a good read, that’s for sure. Ever check out any Chinese websites? They really do follow rule 7, no kidding, at least as far as packing every square inch of space with content goes.
