What industry experts say

“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design; it’s decoration.”

Jeffrey Zeldman

Entrepreneur, web designer, and co-founder of the Web Standards Project

“The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with.”

Paul Rand

Graphic designer and art director
