Things I Love and Hate in Web Design
This post will be composed of all the positive and negative things in web design that I think are worth mentioning. You may agree or not with the list and please complete it with your own Love-Hate things. So here are my 2 lists with the things I find rewarding and the things I detest in Web Design.
Things I Love in Web Design:
1. Web Design Community Sites
With sites like A List Apart, Smashing Magazine, Digital Web or Envato Tuts network it is pretty hard not to love web design.
2. Content Management Systems
CMS have been the engine of web design in the last 2 years helping the Internet to evolve rapidly. There are so many that you will for sure find one that is suitable for you.
3. Google Analytics
This is the third most visited site for me after my mail account and my website. I just love the pie-charts and timeline based information.
4. CSS Galleries
Although there are a ton of CSS galleries out there, you can always find good inspiration resources in these sites, especially now when there are many niche ones.
5. Good Freebies
I really enjoy from time to time a good freebie: a Wordpress theme, an icon pack, a CSS template etc. Also from time to time I enjoy creating one and see the feedback.
6. Typography – I love this thing because there are very few designers in the entire world that are extraordinary with web typography.
7. Optimizing for Performance
I really love this area of Web Design because it makes you think of different ways to improve your site speed.
8. Wordpress
Although you may say that Wordpress can be a part of the second love argument I disagree. Wordpress is something apart, beyond the concept of a CMS. Wordpress is pure awesomeness.
