My Web Design
Philosophy
- I believe
content should always drive
design. Web Sites should be relatively fast on Dial Up connections
and easy to use.
- I desire to design
a very functional website. The coolest feature of a website is the
one that pays you to have it. You want people to visit again and again
- Most of my websites look very similar in
layout. People can use one of my websites and go to another
and navigate it in a very similar fashion. However it's
features will be different according to each application.
- Standards can and should be developed.
Can you imagine a highway with no rules or standards. Every
intersection would be a disaster and you would be constantly asking,
"Am I on the correct side of the road or are they?"
- Innovation comes with an experience that
is used, not just hoped to be used.
- Bell's and whistles can be
expensive and can always be used later. I prefer to develop a
plain straight forward site that will integrate into your business
where appropriate. Less is more! Ease of use and Low cost
maintenance is the goal!
- There are many Artist
much more qualified than myself. I will utilize a number of
resources to integrate when it is feasible. I will always ask the
following questions:
- Will this
addition/feature make my site easier to use?
- Is the feature worth
the cost of development and maintenance?
- Will it update itself
or will I have to do it or pay someone to do it?
- How long before it
reaches it's useful obsolescence?
- What is the best
approach to the given situation?
- Are the clients
Goals and
Values congruent
with MacWood Enterprises?
- Will it require
changes in the logistics in the business?
The Following are some
websites I have designed or have been involved in designing.
