02/08/2010 Why Are Web Pages So Ugly?
I was thinking about the Reader's Choice Awards and specifically the Best Web Designs participants when one of my friends was complaining that some of the nominees were (in his words) "downright ugly". He wondered why, when there were so many good looking sites on the Web, ugly ones seem to get more prominence. So I asked him who he nominated for each of my design categories. And he laughed and said "well, I couldn't think of any for all of them." And I began to wonder, are beautiful Web pages more or less common on the Web than their ugly brethren? So I devised this completely unscientific test. I went to a random word generator and had it generate 10 words for me. I then went to Google and input those words one at a time into the search engine. I clicked "I'm feeling lucky" to get the first result for that search term. I decided ahead of time that if I got any About.com sites (I didn't, by the way), I would get a new word - as no matter what I think about About.com sites beauty or lack thereof, my opinion is biased because I work for them. I also decided to only accept one page from any given site, so if a site came up for more than one word, I went back to the word generator and asked for another (this happened three times). Once I had my 10 sites I evaluated them based on principles of design and my own aesthetic. The results are as you see them in my article Why Are Web Pages So Ugly? As you might guess, none of the pages were something I would really consider good looking, although a couple were okay. Most were downright ugly, and one was almost frighteningly ugly.
Stock.Xchng, while not really software, is a tool I use for my Web design work all the time. It's a stock photography and images site, and the best thing about most of the images? They are free. You can find standard stock photo iconic images like the ubiquitous handshake signifying a business deal and abstract photos like these lightbulbs and many other types of photos. It's my favorite stock photo site.
If you've ever tried to build a JavaScript drop-down menu from scratch, then you know how hard it can be. They can get very complicated very quickly, and unless you are building menus all day, everyday mistakes will creep in that can be challenging to find and fix. One solution is to use a tool like FlexiMenusJS to design and build your menus.
There is a lot of hoopla going around the announcement of the Apple iPad. I admit that I've been hooked as well, and the complaints that it's nothing more than a "giant iPod touch" suit me just fine. That's not a complaint in my book, that's a benefit. But all swooning aside, I am wondering how the iPad will affect my work as a designer. If you had asked me last December what I thought was going to change in 2010, I would have said that Flash was going to get a lot bigger as more sites started using it for games and features. But then the iPad came out and Apple is beginning to make it fairly clear that Adobe Flash is not going to be present on their devices. It's not available on the iPhone or iPod touch, and it apparently won't be on the iPad either. Apple is instead focusing on HTML5 as a way to deliver video an other content that Flash delivers a lot of now. Is this going to change how you build your websites? Are you going to focus more on HTML5 and less on Flash now that the iPad may be a game changer? I know it really depends upon the device itself, but what do you think right now?
02/03/2010 Only 3 Mac people have voted?
Wow, I was looking at some of the results pages in the Reader's Choice Awards and so far only 3 people have voted in the Best Macintosh Web Editor. I know a lot of you use Windows, but come on! Aren't there any Macintosh people who want to vote for the best Mac editor? 3 votes is much less than the 172 votes that the Best Designed Information Page has already garnered. Where are all the Mac people? Are you all just swooning over the iPad and forgot to vote? ;-)
