It’s pretty easy to open up photoshop, draw two columns, add a logo and say you’ve “designed” a website.

I think website’s haven’t really been designed for about 2+ years now. As horrible as they were, the death of flash-only and table based layout has effectively killed the design of the web and the freedom anyone had with it. imagine when we actually designed entire interfaces? now we just make lists, put them sideways, turn them into tabs, style the tabs…… header here, logo there……

we’re just rehashing the same template that pleases a) the “designers” and b) the standardistas.

“As Jonathan has already said I can open up any WYSIWYG editor and insert some words and I have myself a website. Easy.”

That’s not a website. If one opens up Paint, draws a few lines and drops in some colors, you certainly wouldn’t call that a design, would you?

Very well written article. I have been taking classes online to finish up my degree and the amount of web designers, who think they have the knack is frightening.

I guess its kind of like dating, there is something for everyone. Someone has to make the ugly websites, that way our nice sites will look much more beautiful in comparison.

I’m highly surprised to see that getting an education and background in design is not in this list. Having a background in what the great designers have done in the past is highly important in knowing what works in design as well as creating a launching pad to start from. At the very least, I would suggest getting some design books on work done in the 1930’s to 1960’s which is considered by many the golden age of design.

Amen to this article. Itâ€™s so true. For Steven: we all are too harsh on ourselves sometimes.

Finding the people that will give you constructive cricitism is the key also!!
