Every Web Designer Should Know…

The ever insightful Jeffrey Zeldman recently lectured on the skills and opportunities that should be the top of every web designer’s list. Titled ‘What Every Web Designer Should Know’, his keynote speech in Atlanta confirms the best practices we feel important here at Gooii. Great importance is placed on designing around content, my personal belief is that “content is king” but I guess in a world where the web is made up of people from many different skill sets, it’s a timely reminder for some.

One of his final points is that with the advent of HTML 5, “every website is now an application.” A great way of thinking and approach to the products we use every day, for a long time the web has no longer been about online documents and its easy to forget that a website serves a greater purpose than simply being an online presence.
