Day by day, the number of devices, platforms, and browsers that need to work with your site grows. Responsive web design represents a fundamental shift in how we'll build websites for the decade to come.
Designers can create normalcy out of chaos; they can clearly communicate ideas through the organising and manipulating of words and pictures.
Difficult situations breed astonishing results.
I've been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving.
Design isn't risky - change is. Good design mitigates that risk.
To dismiss basic contexts such as link colours, page layouts, navigation systems, and visual hierarchy as 'boring' or 'pedestrian' is akin to laughing at a car's steering wheel as unimaginative.
Math is easy; design is hard.
Good design can't fix broken business models.
One of the things I firmly believe about seemingly risky decisions is that you can't fully imagine how things can be better while you're in the thing you don't quite like.
Web-site creation isn't something you learn once and then check off on your to do list.
