Aesthetics and User-experience : Website Design and Development – Oneupweb Marketing

Ask someone to draw you a house and you’ll probably receive a rudimentary rectangle with a rectangle door, square windows and a triangle roof. Ask Frank Gehry to draw you a house, and you’ll probably receive something that belongs in a Salvador Dali painting.

Buildings are quintessentially square boxes. So are computer screens and so are mobile devices and thus, so are websites (boxes within boxes). To create something truly wonderful, it takes a thorough grasp of the basic limitations and the creativity to understand how far the threshold may be pushed.

Albert Shum, Microsoft’s “design guru,” believes in the importance of design – merging right-brain creativity with left-brain thinking.

Many claim to be able to website design and development, but be wary if what they give you is another box.
