Don't Let Friends Have Bad Websites
Have a stunning website that is uncluttered and is current with design trends. Websites from the 1990s are hands down the easiest target for any design joke now. But in 1996? They were dope! Right? Because THIS was current design. Netscape navigator was all the rage. But it’s 2016 now. You have to accept a hug from impressive current websites like THESE (Woven is my favourite). As long as you’re keeping your web presence current to the decade we’re living in, you should be in good shape.
The biggest takeaways from this harsh but crucial topic are:
It’s okay to realize your website isn’t working anymore.
It’s okay to admit that the designer you hired might not have taken the time to understand exactly what makes you YOU, and to translate that into a clean design online.
It's not okay to give up, and rely only on facebook for your web presence.
Now is your chance to assert control over your fate. You will be more successful with a gorgeous website than you will be without one.
Think about this paradox: Be a modern minimalist while conveying the whole picture.
NO: Don’t be an outdated, dark and dusty house with weird carpet and wood paneled walls. THIS is not the way to utilize natural elements like wood and rock.
YES: Be a modern design house in Argentina, like THIS one.
Argentina has some of the most killer, jaw dropping houses ever. I actually wrote this entire article and video before finding the link to that Argentinian house. I knew that a house like the one I described had to exist there. And it does.
Buena suerte!
