Browsing through the blogosphere, I came across many opinions, many strong opinions, about Web design. It seems that everyone is an expert on how Web design should be done, as they should be. Isn't this stuff just designed for us anyway? So if I like it, it must be good design.
While I believe this is true, we must remember that there is a whole slew of hits on company Web sites every day. And you know what, most of them are useless.
Web sites exist for a reason, whether it is to sell products or get people's eyeballs on the ads, someone is paying for that domain name, and the (usually) have a good reason for it.
Good design doesn't just get eyeballs on the page, it controls the direction of they eye, the location of the click, and so on. Makes you feel powerful, huh?
What I am trying to say is this: quality not quantity. You may get a lot of hits on your site for pasting up the latest celebrity crotch shot, but what will you do with those hits? Will you make money? Bring about governmental reform? Quite a task
