Posted on December 10th, 2007 in Design, Product |
I just came across Andy’s blog - something tells me I should have been reading it a long time ago. Oh well, better late than never.If you’re interested at all in web design, I highly recommend adding it to your reading list.

Objectivity be Damned
Designing a website is like designing a sex chair. You can gather all the objective data you like from the most comprehensive of studies, but if you’ve not had sex in a chair – in a variety of different chairs - and fully and intuitively appreciate the various issues of, let’s say, alignment and accessibility (ahem), you’ve no business designing that chair. Put another way, if you ain’t feelin’ it, neither will anyone else.Don’t Walk; Run
I typically craft my articles to speak directly to designers, aspiring designers, or sometimes simply to the broad spectrum of design industry wonks. With this article I’m instead speaking to business owners and marketing managers who are planning to enlist the services of creative agencies for company projects. Many of you are being duped and defrauded, or are about to be, costing you time and money.
