Web design philosophy
To create clean designs, usable navigation and accessible pages to communicate your objective & content in the simplest and most user-friendly manner possible is the goal. That is the intention, that is the result. Simple, isn’t it?
“NetSmart Research reports that 83% of web users have left sites in frustration due to poor usability. Unintuitive navigation and sluggish performance were reported as the main culprits.”
To me, this isn’t hard to believe.
Keep. It. Simple.
The Problem
We live in a digital world where we’re consumed with information overload, over-stimulating advertisements and basically too much flashy media all fighting for the smallest bit of our attention. We try to communicate our messages through our web sitess but somewhere they get lost, lost in between the incomprehensible navigation and intense flash banner ads.The Solution
