**It is a hurtful truth. **
It REALLY HURTS!
Now that we know about what ānormalā people think. What can we do about it? :beam:
I know! SULK
That ariticle is true, usability is extremely important, but also keep in mind that not all designers are like that. Some will design differently for themself and when designing for a client.
When youāre designing for a client, there are standards youāll tend to follow that will ensure that the site will serve its purpose and easy to navigate.
When designing for yourself, itās like contemporary art where anything goes.
A lot of my client work, to me, look extremely boring compared to what Iām use to but itās what the clients want and importantly, it meets their needs. As long as they pay me, I donāt care how boring it looks.

Hahaha. Thatās right! Iām continouslly experimenting in combining usability and style. I donāt want to take sides. I want to benefit from both worlds. I know this is possible. The main problem is acheiving the balance between style and design. The problem with most people (normal) is that they close their minds to new techniques and ideas.
