Simplicity
Web design is simpler than ever, and that’s a good thing.
2.0 design means focused, clean and simple.
Why simplicity is good
- Web sites have goals and all web pages have purposes.
- Users’ attention is a finite resource.
- It’s the designer’s job to help users to find what they want (or to notice what the site wants them to notice)
- Stuff on the screen attracts the eye. The more stuff there is, the more different things there are to notice, and the less likely a user is to notice the important stuff.
- So we need to enable certain communication, and we also need to minimise noise. That means we need to find a solution that’s does its stuff with as little as possible. That’s economy, or simplicity.
