    Maybe "the old web" was more fun to look at, at times, but it was also much harder to use. I think it's a good thing that certain conventions have developed, now we know more about what users expect, and it makes it easier to design for a good user experience.

    From a designers perspective, maybe the old trend with long flash intros etc. was interesting. From a users' perspective however, it was all pretty irrelevant (especially with that damn 56k modem).

    I'm a big fan of user centered design. If you can combine the unexpected creativity with good usability and suitable style, I'm all for it.
