Design

Sarah Steffen

Good design is crucial for me. When it comes to websites, I can't stand an overload. I like simplicity, and too much blinking, flashing and moving annoys me. Especially those ads nowadays (the ones that tend to blink aggressively) drive me crazy. No matter what you do, you always see them from the corner of your eye. I would think twice to place such an advertisement on my site.

I think good design also helps to promote professionalism. If a website is poorly made, I'm more likely to think that its content is rather insignificant. This doesn't necessarly have to be true, but pink letters on a green site just don't look as trustworthy as a white site with plain black letters.
