I only mention flat UI and bootstrap because 90% of these 'startups' I see are god awful poorly laid out defaults.
I miss actual design on the web, something fitting to whatever theme or persona the website hopes to engage the user in.
- ThomPete 13y agoA business is very rarely build on design the way you and I probably think about good design. I appreciate pixel-pushing as much as anyone else, but I also have been in the design world long enough to see that for most startups it isn't and shouldn't be their first priority. Especially since most of them are going out of business in less than a year. I always try to look at refined design as a way to optimize a product. Of course some basics are needed, but that's why we have design patterns.
- rfnslyr 13y agoI like to treat all aspects of launching a product with equal perfectionism. I don't believe one aspect of launch should be shunned. Yes they may go down in a year, but working on a pristine design doesn't take that much time and makes it that much better. Of course it isn't high up on priority, but it is a task that should be taken seriously and completed eventually. Right now, it's usually an after thought which to me looks like neglect.
- ThomPete 13y agoThat's fine if you have an infinite amount of money. To almost everyone else, priority is the norm.
