HOMER SIMPSON AND “HIS WEB DESIGN”
Professional web design and development, with Rana Negra.: HOMER SIMPSON AND “HIS WEB DESIGN”
“Design in the absence of content is not design, it is decoration.” And in Homer’s case, not even that:
What comes to mind when you see Homer’s website? He likes it, but all he’s done is popping nonsensical graphics. It is neither “his” (he has not created anything) nor is it “design” (there is no logical aesthetic) and we can hardly call it “web” (where is the content, what function does this page have?)
We know that nobody, or almost nobody, is going to reach the limits of Homer, but … Do you know what a graphic design should be that facilitates the user experience? Do you know the web standards? Do you want to have the same website as your competition but changing the colors and photos? Do you have the time and desire to learn a new program, which is also limited in its functions? If the answer is no, do not ever consider developing your website through a pre-designed template, which also will never be yours, that is, if you want to take your website to another hosting service provider tomorrow, it will not be possible. In addition, in web design, we are facing a new challenge, that said design is responsive, that is, that web sites and applications can be adapted to each new device and its corresponding resolution. Good,
It is time for you to program the content and functions of your website and also know how to keep the content updated and implement new functions as you detect new needs, right? and well, establishing colors, shapes, photos… it is a task that can be enjoyable, if you like it, but in terms of content and functions… Do you have programming knowledge? And desire? Would you like your website to be programmed under search engine positioning criteria? A website created from scratch just for your business will always be optimized in terms of system resources. A template implements code and functionalities that we may never use, but that can take up disk space, among other things. What is most obvious is that you can make a static website with a template that may require a database when a similar handmade website would not need it at all. What do you think? We leave you with another great phrase, which sums up the essence of web design: Good design means never having to say “Click Here”.
