Look Back But Don't Go Back: The Web Design History
Sometimes it is good to look back on where you have come and reflect on your accomplishments, but in the case of web design I think it is a necessity so we never go back. The web was born from our need to communicate, connect, and inform, and in the beginnings it was definitely more useful than usable. But as with any new powerful tool it was quickly abused. Most businesses tried to figure it out but usually ended up using it like TV to steal our attention and shove their advertisements and promotions down our throats. However, I am proud to be apart of the revolution to bring a design-centered approach to the web. Design has made the web useful again by making it usable and enjoyable. As we move forward we must keep this focus on design and continue to enhance the web experience for all.
