10 Commandments of Web Design

BusinessWeek.com canvassed a broad range of internet luminaries recently to inquire about the design rules they live by. Contributors ranged from the guru of Web usability, Don Norman, co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group, to the design director of NYTimes.com, Khoi Vinh, and John Maeda, president-elect of the Rhode Island School of Design. These 10 commandments of Web design for 2008 are the combined results of their survey:

1. Thou shalt not abuse Flash.
2. Thou shalt not hide content.
3. Thou shalt not clutter.
4. Thou shalt not overuse glassy reflections.
5. Thou shalt not name your Web 2.0 company with an unnecessary surplus or dearth of vowels.
6. Thou shalt worship at the altar of typography.
7. Thou shalt create immersive experiences.
8. Thou shalt be social.
9. Thou shalt embrace proven technologies.
10. Thou shalt make content king.

    Terrace,

    A while back you left a short comment on my blog as I was at the beginning of a much needed break. I honestly don't know if I thanked you for your comment or not, so, "Thanks, man." Anyway, I'm back. Stop by once in awhile.

    Blessings,

    Tim
