What I care about, though I'll never take the time to do anything about it, is that there exists a huge amount of people who don't even know what looks good, or what good functionality is, or what the word "modern" means. That goes for designers AND the people that buy their services.
The thing that really bothers me is that in a day and age where EVERYTHING is available on the Internet to learn, consume, be inspired by, steal, there are so many people churning out absolute dog shit websites because they don't know any better. And their customers don't know any better either.
I'm not saying everyone has to be the ultimate consumer of modern design, modern standards, or adhere to some design style that people like us follow, but would it hurt some people to learn CSS? Learn to use web fonts? Stop using tables and frames? Stop building sites altogether and just buy a modern template and skin it, especially if it comes with responsive layouts? Make all the buttons on a site match and have clear queues about their purpose? Stop using garbage low-res images? Stop falling for these ridiculous hosting provider plugins that create a mobile site on the fly with a horrible disjointed look and feel?
IT SHOULD NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A DECENT LOOKING WEBSITE. Something that at least looks relevant to the last 5 years.
So yeah, that's what bums me out. That all this info is out there, and yet some people are clueless about staying modern and current with technology and design.
- are you talking about design, or HTML?monospaced
- because while HTML website design is part of design, it hardly encompasses itmonospaced
- btw, I really respect your outlook on all things designmonospaced
- Thanks mono! I guess i mean design altogether but more-so web in this case. But the same can be said for print design.mg33
