But First.....
 
 What is Design?



       "Design is the process of
     conceptualising and creating
    something tangible, in order to
      serve a specific purpose."
.....and Foremost
 What is Good Design?
 Dieter Rams' Immutable Principles of Good Design:
 ‣   is innovative
 ‣   makes a product useful
 ‣   is aesthetic
 ‣   makes a product understandable
 ‣   is unobtrusive
 ‣   is honest
 ‣   is long-lasting
 ‣   is thorough down to the last detail
 ‣   is environmentally friendly
 ‣   is as little design as possible
But, I don’t design!
              Oh, yes you do.

Anyone involved in creating a website is
     part of the design process.
