after the phenomenon called Web 2.0 has passed. It is true
that becoming good at web designing takes years of
experience.
However, it is also rooted in learning the fundamentals
well. Time has proven that the basics work and they should
always be the most important tools that any designers
should have.
Here are some basic skills that help one become a good web
designer.
1. Subtlety
- each era will have its own sense of style. Amateurs will
always exploit the new trends and use it on every occasion
possible. But this makes designs look amateurish and tacky.
Great designers, on the other hand, learn the new styles
and keep its use to a minimum.

2. Simplicity
- this is somehow connected with the first skill.
Simplicity is not making things bare and dull, but it is
making things work. A simple design will always have its
timeless appeal and it will always help new visitors of
websites navigate the site easily.
3. Willingness to Learn
- another good thing about great designers is that they
never cease to learn. For them, there is something new to
pick up everyday. The willingness to learn helps designers
stay fresh and relevant even styles and tastes have
changed.
The things listed above seem easy enough to follow.
However, things are different in the real world. There will
always be the temptation to design like the rest. But as
always, great designers will always find ways to stand out.
We hope that you learned today. Please leave your comments.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
Your so correct....good web designs will always have a long life. I have a friend that was a graphic designer....some of his designs will be admired by future generations.
The internet is evolving so quickly...it is difficult to determine the direction it will go.
Thanks for the post!

Hello Hilary,
Thank you for both of your comments to day.
It is good to keep things simple. People like it better. If they can not understand what you are talking about they leave very quickly. That means no sales.
So glad to be of help to you.
