Response - Website Critiques

It's always fun to see how everyone's creativity contributes to their websites. I think the sites, more than a business card or logo, can show your personality, probably because there are so many opportunities to express this personality (splash page, navigation, portfolio set-up, etc). The down side of having so many various elements is, however, that there are so many details we want to perfect. We spend hours and hours creating every nook and cranny of the site, and oftentimes are disappointed with the results. Then another problem arises: unlike an InDesign layout, you can't just go in a tweak one or two things and be done with it. These tweaks on a website can interrupt usability and consistency, and therefore lead to a whole host of changes. I think we should all be happy with what we have created so far. In my experience, each website you create is better than the next. So, just keep practicing webdesign and eventually we'll all come up with something we're happy with.
