Wireframes and Layout

When I started with graphic design my approach was quite straight forward. At least I thought that it was. It took a little while to actually find out that planning a raw layout on paper or with simple diagrams can be very helpful.

Luckily I already knew my way through wireframes when I started with webdesign. The idea is to make a “raw” version of the website first showing the links, the content hierarchy and information architecture.

Here a little one hour presentation if you want to get into it ;-)

Tools are just the vehicle, not the road

What makes a website awesome?

Is it really the PHP, Python or Rhuby stuff working behind the scene that accomplishes your goals? Do you believe switching to another CMS is going to solve all the problems of your current website?

Most people think about Tools when they think about the quality of a website. But - to further use the metaphor of the title - even the greatest vehicle is not going to drive to the right street without you knowing where to go.
