"Preserving the Home page from promotional overload requires constant vigilance, since it usually happens gradually, with the slow, inexorable addition of just one more. . .thing."

Web Development

The web can be credited for bringing the role of design - all types of design - into the world of software development.  Early web development was severely constrained by the limitations of primitive browsers and immature standards.  Coding requirements were tamed by the restrictions imposed by simple HTML, and while pictures  were permitted, code warriors often lacked the graphic design skills to fully exploit this.  

Voila! Graphic designers found a new medium and our post-modern world was, and still is, being enriched with an explosion of art and color; a second renaissance of excellence and beauty as significant and enduring as the one that gave us Michelangelo and da Vinci.

Web InteractionWebsites are rendered with a step-by-step interface that greatly simplifies interaction.  Having to cater for a user who might "Go Back" is both liberating for users and constraining for developers.

These constraints are what makes web development different.  Developers and interaction designers may grumble about these limits, but there is no denying the harsh truth: Users find web interaction less demanding than most non-web software.

There is a lesson in this for all designers, developers and webmasters.  Simplicity requires restraint.
