go ahead, answer this. I dare you.
In the recipe for a good website a few basic ingredients are list to make a good site. What other ingredients of methods could we use as designers to produce a successful website?
Interestingly enough, none of our readings really addressed aesthetics. Color, of course, but not texture, typeface, etc. Perhaps this is a tool that we need to really hone in the WWW in a different way.
I know that poster design is going to be different than Web design in more than just verbal content. So, let's talk about how.
DESIGN!!! yay for designers. while everything listed is necessary for a good website, design also a must. design can make a website impossible to use or somewhere they will want to return. make it pretty, make it easy, make it fun, make it usable!
im agreeing with these insightful ladies... if the look isnt approachable who even wants to navigate through a site anyway?? if i open a page and it even LOOKS complicated i close it... if its pretty i stay : )
I am a unique lady, born in California, lived in Texas and am attending school in Lawrence, Kansas (GO JAYHAWKS!). I am currently living and studying in Trier, Germany! I love vernacular type and discovering myself as a designer and as an individual.
