Lesenswertes vom 12.10.2011 – The Case against Responsive Web Design

Maxi — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 05:01:13 +0000

Nachdem ich viel Positives über Responsive Web Design gepostet habe ([1], [2], [3]), hier ein paar kritische Stimmen zu dem Thema:

11 Reasons why responsive web design isn’t that cool! | WebDesignShock
"Every proposal must have some weak points and this, as a “new one”, shouldn’t be considered the solution to the world’s problems. In the heat of the moment, not many people stop and think about the downside, the mistakes and the compatibility issues this proposal may have; and this is actually very normal. In the end, we’re just starting to know how this thing works, right?"
CSS Media Query for Mobile is Fool’s Gold | Cloud Four
"Unfortunately, CSS media query is fool’s gold for mobile devices. It hides tough problems and gives developers a false promise of a simple solution for designing to multiple screens."
Responsive Web Design or Separate Mobile Site? Eh. It Depends. | Global Moxie
"In the mobile world, we have the persistent and circular debate over whether the mobile web should be powered by the very same sites and webpages that render the desktop web. Savvy CSS media queries, beautifully explained as “responsive web design” by Ethan Marcotte, can transform any webpage into device-specific layouts tailored for any device. But should they? Strong opinions sally forth."

Lesenswertes vom 27.06.2010 – Psychologie & (Web) Design

Lennart — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 20:06:44 +0000

Psychological Study of Web Designs | Abduzeedo
"A website is the window to the soul of an Internet business as well as the people behind it. It may have a positive or may be a negative effect on your end result. If you take the time to think about what your visitors want and how they want to get it, then you’re already on the right track to creating a site that will tap into the psychological drives of your target audience."
The Psychology of Web Design | Webdesigner Depot
"Designers often don’t take the time they should to learn about how basic psychological principles can effect the experience their visitors have on the sites they build."

Strategizing Web Content – Writing for the Web

Lennart — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 06:46:21 +0000

Shay Howe spricht in seiner Präsentation über die Wichtigkeit von Webseiten-Inhalten und beschreibt wie man gute Inhalte strukturiert erstellt und präsentiert.

When it comes to designing a website, content is often overlooked, but why? Very rarely do users browse the web looking for a good design or decent experience. Users come for the content. Not giving them what they want with poorly written content will frustrate users. Not only does it waste their time, but your time as well.

Neben der Präsentation hat er seine Erklärungen online gestellt und die Folien können bei Slideshare als .pdf heruntergeladen werden.
