Warmest Greetings,
:: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 ::
When all else fails, create a new poll.
Sheesh, the news is boring or maybe it's me?
So, in desperation, I've created a new poll and question for webmasters over at Cre8asiteForums. Are website layouts too much of the same old thing?
One of my favorite books on making websites usable is "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug. Although he sees the logic behind making websites somewhat standard so we recognize certain elements quickly, he also champions the cause for creativity and offers examples on how in his book.
How risky is it, REALLY, to move the search box to the right, or middle of a page?
Does the navigation HAVE to be on top, or left to be recognized as navigation around a site?
Do webmasters get caught in a rut born of a fear of change, upsetting the status quo or management decisions not based on anything but "This is how I do it and I want it done this way too"?
Is anyone chomping at the bit to see something NEW in web design besides more programming hoops to jump through?
We want to hear from you!
