You were gone WAY too long. I too have noticed many typos on the letters coming home. I give it to Samantha as a quiz to see if she can find the typos!

Comment on Is Web Design Becoming Less Important? by Pedro Henrique

I just want to add something to my comment.

This post is from November 6, 2007 and my comment is from October 2009. So…

The reality of the web back in 2007 was a little different. In a way that I don’t believe that many people were viewing content outside the original content provider if compared to today.

So, what I’ve just written is way more valid if applied for the 2007’s situation.

I think you’re right that web design doesn’t play that big role today.

However, I don’t believe the reasons why that is true is the one you proposed. This thing of content being viewed outside your website is happening, but, intensively, I don’t believe it’s happening for any website that are not on the top 100-1000 (somewhere between that) on the web.

Just so that we get concrete here. 1000 websites are LESS than 0.000021% of all the websites on the web. For that I believe that this idea of content being viewed outside your website is far from a reality for MOST people.

Summing up, unless your website is superfamous, I don’t believe you can just suppose most of its content views happens outside the website.

I surely agree that it’s a trend though.

I believe content is more important than design because we’re in an “age” that people are hungry for information for themselves. They don’t care about the website anymore, they care about what is in for them MUCH more than they did before.

“Yesterday”, people used the web to have some fun. “Today”, they use it for serious work and research. There was a shift on how people use the web some years ago that put content in front of looks.

By the way. I’m just considering information websites. I would not risk to guarantee that all this stuff I talked about would be valid for e-commerce for example.

Anyway, great post and blog you have. Peace.

I’ve always wanted to see those trees! I think I need to plan a trip to Florida.

I love the idea of sending a children’s story in the mail in parts! My 7 year old daughter was complaining the other day that she NEVER gets any mail, and I was thinking I need to find someone to send her something just for fun.
