TopSoft Design Studio Blog

I’ve heard the talk over and over about how the main categories of websites are:

• Informational
• Creative
• eCommerce

These are my own variations to the popular terms, but in essence, that’s it. What boggles me is that somehow the consensus is that the Creative style site is the only one that qualifies for high-quality graphics!

This bothers me. Why is it that popular opinion says that webpages that have ALOT OF TEXT should be ugly, drab, plain and boring? WordPress, blogs, Drupal, Joomla, etc. Remember PHPNuke? Every site looked identical. Every wonder why every news organizations website looks just like the next?

I know…the link colors are different, the header shows the logo and information of that individual organization, but they are all the same! BLAH! Get creative, make it look good. Make it give people a reason to look again. Honestly, when is the last time you pulled into a fast food shack because the picture on the billboard picture actually looked like the burger that gets dumped in the bottom of the bag? Like never?

Why does the world of fashion put the top priority on perfect images formed by popular opinion?

In simplest forms, make it look good and people will want it! Have you ever eaten at McDonald’s and walked away saying MAN THAT WAS GOOD!!! Like never?

TopSoft Design Studio’s about page says nothing about how great I am. How many websites I’ve completed, how many pages of code I’ve read/written. It says that my focus is making you look good, so count on looking if you have me design your website!
