Dinosaurs designing websites

What strikes me most plainly about this design is how the effect of a big, lumbering organisation can impact on a redesign. A good few months ago, or maybe years, when this proposal was first taking shape, it was probably the time when curved gradients, reflections and like were at the forefront of the ‘web 2.0 aesthetic’. Thing is, it takes any large organisation ages to get their shit together. Which is why designing to visual trends such as this is so risky. If your organisation can’t react quickly enough to keep up, then go the classic design route every time. If you don’t, your design will look dated within months. Or, in this case, even before it’s launched.

Pour Rue89, le lancement de Lepost.fr est une bonne nouvelle. Qu'un groupe de presse comme le Monde lance un projet présentant des caractéristiques communes est pour nous un encouragement. Nous souhaitons bonne chance et longue vie à ce nouveau confrère.

I have just published an overview of the Online Travel segment. You may want to read that, before reading this review. In this section we will analyze the Yahoo! Travel site based on the Web 3.0 framework. The site provides information on travel destinations, best bargains on hotel and travel fares. It has an attractive interface and navigation is simple and easy. However, as a late entrant, it needs to do so much more to differentiate and become a “destination”.

This blog is devoted to creating a list of web 2.0 websites and webtools that are, in some way, related to Travel and Tourism. Please email me any suggested websites (or post in the comment area).

Most of the ‘Web 2.0’ sites that have changed people methods in enjoying the web are coming from the United States. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it makes it kinda easy to forget about things closer to home in let’s say Paris. I’m talking about Netvibes, a service to help you consume and customize the huge amount of information we process in a typical day.

ConceptShare allows you to easily share designs inside Workspaces that contain designs related to a certain topic or project. It’s easy to invite people into a workspace. Invite team members, managers, clients, and consultants to add and reply to comments, chat and markup designs. People do not have to be in the workspace at the same time to contribute. Workspace members can log-in anytime to any workspace they are member. If members do happen to be in the workspace at the same time they can collaborate with real-time chat and real-time comment updates and concept updates. Paid accounts can manage multiple workspaces and premium accounts can be branded to your logo and colors.

Before a few weeks ago, those reading a significant amount of mainstream media content online primarily saw Jurassic-period philosophies from those at the top of information gathering: it was an image of aging, traditionally-oriented journalistic institutions striving to understand (and fitfully adapt to) the distribution of information on the Web. As always, sites such as NYTimes.com and CNN.com were laughably far behind: two of the most visited news sites online carried the same left-aligned, 800×600-optimised, heavily-table-based layouts that designers (or overly zealous Web enthusiasts) would have called “so Web 1.0.”

In this tutorial, I describe various common graphic design elements in modern web ("2.0") design style. I then attempt to explain why they work (i.e. why they have become common), as well as how, when and where you might use each element in your designs. It follows on from my Current Style article, and analyses in greater depth the design features of the current "Web 2.0" design style.

Marketing, Content, Usability, Design and Behavior are the main factors that make a website work. Internet Marketing is a combination of Presence (how well is it pushed? How known is it?) and Self Dynamic (how well does it market itself as a product?). Interactive Content is a combination of Constructivity (is the content/service productively usable?

But even more characteristic among these brands is their appearance. Web 2.0 sites nearly always feel open and friendly and often use small chunks of large type. The colors are bright and cheery — lots of blue, orange, and what we jokingly call the official color of Web 2.0: lime green.
