Web Design Advice? Stick With The Basics
Forget Web 2.0 - back to the basics ...
It's an exciting time to be a Web professional. It seems like the Web is finally recovering from the dot-com bust and there is excitement in the air. While I don't think things will ever get as crazy as they were in the '90s (a good thing) I do see the potential that was always there for the Web coming around.
However, it's not because of anything "Web 2.0". The Web hasn't changed all that much, to be honest, and what we knew then still applies now. Content is first priority. Providing a rewarding user experience is key. Form follows function. Clarity and simplicity are to be striven for.
These are concepts that aren't new. What has worked in the past will still work now. In fact, in light of all the hype surrounding technologies like RSS and AJAX, my advice to every Web professional out there is to nail the basics first.
