In a previous post I discussed getting customer feedback throughout the development process. In my opinion, the most important aspect of this is creating a mock up of what the fully functional site will look like before you do any HTML or CSS work. (I believe in the print world, this is called a comp.)
To most designers (be they graphic, web, fine arts, or other) the skill I’m describing comes naturally. You look at someone else’s work and instantly imagine what you would have done differently. If that thought is fleeting, then you are missing an opportunity to improve your design chops. Stop for a few minutes and really dwell on the changes you would make. Why do you think your ideas are better?
A few weeks ago I wrote my early impressions of CakePHP. In this post I’ll share my thoughts on the mystical “bake” function, SEO-friendly URLs, and intuitive code.
