Leevi: I thought it might resonate with you. I think your design knowhow is apparent in the decisions you make in your interfaces.
Alan: I agree. Sounds like we have similar experiences. We find ourselves constantly shifting our philosophies as we learn more. Your comment put the whole “do websites have to look the same in every browser” question in my mind. We learned that the answer is of course “no”.
Alexandre: I really like your correlation with architecture; beautifully explained. I like the idea of the website as “environment” a lot. Also, I agree that decoration and illustration is not our primary focus, but I do feel such “delight’ can improve the user experience, or assist in telling a story perhaps, especially if produced thoughtfully and in line with much of what I’ve outlined today.
