Don’t feel foolish for doing an about-face { 0 }
It surprises me these days in the web technology industry that we work in that people still feel they need to stick to their guns when it comes to evolving techniques.
Back in the day when the web was still finding its feet, designers didn’t know much about usability or user experience on the web so we took standards from other mediums such as print and fitted them around the limited technology that we had.
Since then, things have moved on and the web has become a much more complex world as we know. It’s grown immensely and techniques and standards have had to grow with it.
So there is nothing wrong with changing your mind! If a client says “that’s not what you told me last time!” don’t be afraid to explain why you’ve changed your mind.
Backing down will only lead to bad usability, old-fashioned techniques and the prevented evolution of our industry.
After all, the web is in your hands!
