The question faced by all web designers at sometime during a
project is: How much functionality should I sacrifice for stylish
design? I know that I have played this balancing game many times.
However there is a way to have both in healthy servings, in other
words, there is a way to have your cake and eat it too.'UserLovely.com beckons the next functionality revolution'
The popularisation of .jpeg and .gif formats in web design was arguably one of the earliest and greatest functionality revolutions, allowing us to fill our pages with 10 times the images we could before. Now UserLovely.com beckons the next revolution for good design and functionality on the web. What is it and how much does it cost? Is the response given by most, including myself when I first heard about it.
However, UserLovely.com costs nothing and in the tradition of good design, is simplicity at its best. It specifies a set of design musts, put together by a team of pro web designers, that ensure functionality and stylish design. Access to this checklist is completely free and is te most useful resource I have encountered during my career as a web designer.
These top designers will also rate your site (for FREE) and give you a User Lovely Rating, out of 100. Get over 90% and you will be able to proudly display the prestigous User Lovely Award on your site. Get under 90% and the team of designers will implement the necessary changes for a very competitive fee. So how can you have your cake and eat it too? UserLovely.com that's how!
