A beautiful, well-thought article on “web design” and how it has evolved, diverted, and made us realize that the content is the true focus of a web site.
[Excerpt]
We get better design when we understand our medium. Yet even at this
late cultural hour, many people don’t understand web design. Among them
can be found some of our most distinguished business and cultural
leaders, including a few who possess a profound grasp of design—except
as it relates to the web.
Some who don’t understand web
design nevertheless have the job of creating websites or supervising
web designers and developers. Others who don’t understand web design
are nevertheless professionally charged with evaluating it on behalf of
the rest of us. Those who understand the least make the most noise.
They are the ones leading charges, slamming doors, and throwing
money—at all the wrong people and things.
If we want better sites, better work, and better-informed clients, the need to educate begins with us.
