Default Where do you stand on website "form vs. function"? - 05-16-2008 , 02:17 PM






Website design usually gets classified into two categories: functional
(read: user-friendly) or innovative ('artistic,' lots of interactive,
etc.). I've noticed that a lot of times sites that are noted as having
great design are a little difficult for the average user to navigate.
Do you think form and function are mutually exclusive, or can a site
be incredibly innovative AND incredibly functional?

Of course a site can be both. Some actually are.
What usually happens, though, is that the sites that are visually
appealing are also implemented by some one clueless about web design, a
deezyner.
