Designing a website presented itself as
an extremely daunting task until I really dove into the process. After spending
hours and hours working on a site and presenting it to a few people, it was
very dismaying at how little attention was given to certain details that I
spent what seemed like hours of frustrations and thought on.
It dawned on me while reading that even
a website that I find extremely interesting or well designed I will blast
through it from page to page scanning its menu bars and information. That is no
way to appreciate a well-designed piece, and yet that is how I have learned to
appreciate things. Funny since being on the design people, that attitude is
frustrating to me.
When it comes to user experience and
how to design a product to be easily understood it seems like there are too
many factors to really build the perfect website. It makes me curious if there
are certain cultural characteristics that could be observed when comparing
different parts of the globe. Are there unique tendencies and expectations on
how links and buttons are going to operate? I’m also curious how many of those
tendencies were learned out of ease or out of design.
