- bliti 13y agoThat's how most of the web looks.
- Jugurtha 13y agoThat implies the author built most of the web.
- stronglikedan 13y agoOr was just inspired by it.
- wingerlang 13y agoHow so?
- jaredgeorge 13y agoThe article is spot on, and it's not on the topic of design... It's on business models for freelancers. And I bet he does pretty well! :)
- csomar 13y agoIf he does work mostly for corporations, then his website is spot on.
- nfoz 13y agoI typically hate on websites pretty hard, but actually I don't have much problem with that site. Maybe it's a bit orange, but it's clear and usable. What are your objections to it?
- ChristianBundy 13y ago* No visual heirarchy since everything is incredibly saturated * Useless stock icons are way bigger than the text describing them * Horrible use of white space * Weird margins and padding * Constantly moving animation at the top right * Tacky quotes like "We will not rest until you have a site to be proud of." * Only 2 clients ever (and only one of them even has a screenshot) * Their RSS feed names their blog "BLOGNAME". I'm not attacking the site, just listing the things that jumped out at me.
- larrys 13y agoTrue but being a good designer and being a good business person are two different things.
- sdaityari 13y agoWell, you miss the most important part- usability. It looks pretty good to me! And btw, good developers might not be good designers!
