Thanks for the comment, Michael. I've used the “house” analogy quite a bit, myself, which is probably why I went with the car this time ;)

“The experience is the brand”. This is what I tell my clients. We have very little time to get our point across with their site, and if we screw this up – if the experience is poor – we risk damaging their image with their customers.

Your car example is perfect, and I use something similar when selling design. “Would you build a house without blueprints?” Same thing goes with web sites.

Nice post.

You said it right: loud and very clear. We are dealing with a business here and since we have a very competitive internet world, we should take designing seriously.

Thanks for the comment, Yavor. Always glad to hear of non-designers who are astute enough to focus on usability rather than aesthetic taste.

I’m not a designer but I always end up approving design or proposing changes. I always try to aim for intuitiveness of the functionality, simplicity and effective use of colors to bring the right emotions to the visitor.
