The Changes in Web Design

This evening I was thinking about the sites I use to work on since I starting working in the web world in 1996.  I recalled how I use to design with wallpaper and tile the background of web sites, the scrolling text, the blink tag, paint shop pro graphics, gray, gray and more gray. Then I began looking online and came across a nice article to read by Design Reviver. I remember these sites and recall how cutting edge they were in 1997, 1999, 2000 and so on.  But then I began looking at sites from 2006 and 2007 and how dramatically and quickly the user interface design has changed.  Simpler is better these days.  There is more concentration on a true guided path and helping get the user to the information they need quickly.  We preach that we don’t want to make the user work for where they want to go.  The simplicity of web site design has improved the user experience.  It truly was fun to go back in time and see all these web sites.

I look forward to what UI design will bring in the coming years.
