Design Philosophy
I believe design on the web is all about communication. I'm here to do more than just make things look pretty. If you have a website or any other web-based appliation, you want more than art. You have a story to tell or a product to sell and your website should do just that.
I think websites should be built using web standards. That is to say I believe in the separate of structure, content and behavior. Which is also to say I believe writing clean, semantic code is the best way to provide flexibility today and make changes tomorrow a breeze.
I believe user experience is enhanced by:
- Pages optimized for fast download
- Accessible content for disabled users
- Clean layouts, free of visual clutter
- A logically organized site structure
- An intuitive navigation scheme
I also believe websites should be filled with well-written, compelling content. Since design on the web is all about communication, what you have to say is paramount. Your content - what you say and how you say it - can make or break the whole user experience.
