While trying not to sound overly enthusiastic (which I am!!), I’d like to announce the new Keuka College website redesign. We are proud to have worked on this project along with Pete Bekisz and the Keuka College team.
There is something that’s been on my mind for awhile that I think needs to be addressed. It comes into our own sphere often and it’s something that I explain to new prospects on a near weekly basis.
Oh, do we have another fun website design to talk about. Oh, do we. Can you tell by now that I tend to get excited about new client site launches?
A few weeks ago… Er, more than a few weeks ago, I posted a blog post on why designers should use wireframes. I have always used Photoshop to do more formal wireframes for client sites, but wanted to give Balsamiq a try since I first heard about it. They were gracious enough to give me a copy to review. By the way, they are incredibly friendly and fast responding.
Doing a wireframe before each web site design is a crucial step. Actually, it’s more than crucial. Let’s put it this way, I divide my own work into two distinct periods. The “before the wireframing phase” and the “after I discovered the glorious virtues of wireframing” phase. I do one now for every single project, even the most basic ones.
