I evaluated my site's design against professional parameters and found it lacking. I believe the era of static sites is ending, and I'm anticipating the shift toward dynamic web design inspired by MIT Media Lab research.
My site actually has pretty bad design against these parameters. Need to work on it. Besides, the time is up for static sites. Dynamic website design will rule. Wonder when Geocities will start offering these features.
Explore Martijn van Welie's extensive library of web design patterns. This resource provides documented solutions for interaction design, navigation, and UI components to help you build consistent, user-friendly interfaces across different web platforms.
I visited Coincidence Design and found it to be one of the creepiest websites I have ever encountered. If its claims are true, the site’s exploration of synchronicity and intentional design creates a deeply unsettling and eerie experience.
I found "The Non-Designer's Design Book" is the best primer for beginners. I use its four "CRAP" principles—Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity—to fix common visual errors in slide decks and improve information grouping.
I explore the MIT Media Lab's Social Media Group, a research team dedicated to creating innovative sociotechnical systems and understanding how digital environments affect human interaction and communication through design and experimentation.
I highlight Jakob Nielsen’s Useit as a primary resource for web usability and interface design. It offers essential principles for creating user-friendly websites and understanding how visitors navigate the digital landscape effectively.
