Lemons or Limes?
I spent some time today thinking over what a website should be, and how to make one. I decided to make a new, private, web design notebook, one where I could make a quick mockup and work out an idea. Not complete sites, but just to see where color, style, and feeling could get me.
It’s liberating to throw away content management systems, templates, auto-generated pages, and pre-defined code and just focus on an idea. Too often these things start out with all this crap thrown into it – auto-generated from WordPress or Tumblr, or whatever, and I work for it instead of it working for me. That’s not the point of a content management system.
