“Designing a website to be usable is like baking a cake to be edible. It’s simply not enough. A usable website should be the minimum requirement, it should go without saying that a website should be absolutely usable. It’s time to look beyond that.”
Spent a fair amount of what could have been billable time working through how to merge our content, design and usability for our site’s re-design. We want to incorporate a grid for the inner pages so our content can grow and scale over time, and from a usability standpoint it’s intuitive structure will handle user-based issues and goals.
That leaves design, and after researching several grid-based layouts we like (many of which were premium tumblr themes), we’re confident the direction we want to go will get us where we need to be.
This article points out a noticeable shift in how the design process is evolving as we learn more about the medium we create in, good stuff to keep in mind.
