Understanding Web Design - Jeffrey Zeldman - An Event Apart
- What web designers need most is empathy.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:38:23 PM
- Showing websites that have internal battles. The battle to make a good website and the battle to make money. Sometimes the good content gets buried due to trying to make money.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:39:41 PM
- It doesn't matter how good the content is, if it doesn't look good and isn't easy to use the good content won't be found.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:41:05 PM
- Make a link look like a link. It doesn't have to be blue and underlined but there should be a consistent link style.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:42:14 PM
- Description: We’ll have better web design when we stop asking it to be something it’s not, and start appreciating it for what it is. It’s not print, not video, not a poster—and that’s not a problem. Learn how to explain to clients and bosses what it is you do, and why they should stand back and let you do it.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:43:10 PM
- Web designers have to be motivated to keep learning. Good education is hard to find.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:44:16 PM
- College can teach you CSS and HTML but they don't teach you everything you need to know. They don't teach content and layout etc...by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:47:53 PM
- They made a web design survey, we all took it, we know.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:50:26 PM
- From the survey they saw that the more money you make the less your field of study in college mattered.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:51:31 PM
- People making lots of money didn't study web design in college.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:52:08 PM
- BUT older people make more money and they didn't have those programs back then.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:52:47 PM
- Web designers get no respect. Architect, attorney or surgeon get lots of respect. No one gets web design, they don't understand what's involved.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:56:13 PM
- They think we sit in our mother's garage in our underwear using Front Page.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:58:02 PM
- There are no standard titles on the web, it's not like saying you're an attorney.by Matt at 6/23/2008 12:59:58 PM
- Very different titles based on where you work. One will call you Web Master, one will call you a Front-End Developer.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:01:48 PM
- Who owns the website?by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:02:28 PM
- You don't usually own the sites you work on. You're not accountable, morally etc..by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:03:25 PM
- Companies always base the website on the org chart.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:03:58 PM
- Creative people are at work but they're being beaten down. Rejected by clients, lawyers...|by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:09:02 PM
- Web designers don't get paid well, unless they're at the top. Lots making $20,000 and very few making $80,000.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:10:12 PM
- If web design is a new job are there new rules? No, they're treated the same as everyone else.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:12:01 PM
- Gender bias (women make less). Women who believe there is a gender bias make more than women who believe there isn't.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:12:18 PM
- There aren't really any good awards that take into account usability, empathetic design etc...by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:16:37 PM
- The type of web design that is awarded by graphic design magazines is not an example of good web design.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:20:35 PM
The webby awards. Websites with videos on them. Nothing really to do with web design.|by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:20:47 PM- The news media. They only report on sites that make money.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:23:55 PM
- "Why isn't there any landmark web design?" Like, the Led Zeppelin of websites.by Matt at 6/23/2008 1:25:28 PM
