Why You Should Care About More Than Just the Look of Your Website

Pete Ashton has posted an excellent explanation of why you should care more about what your website does than how it looks.

It’s an issue that often disappoints me, most often when the website in question is one that some publicly-funded agency has had built by a big-name web design agency. I’d expect the agencies to know better, and to produce good work, but that could also be solved by those commissioning the work having a better understanding of what they want.

Pete also touches upon the portfolio software of choice for non-web-designers, indexhibit (which I’m thinking we should maybe start referring to as inhibit…) which Alex covered well in her piece on online presence for design students.
