Technology, in the way it works, the way we use it, and the way we want technology to look, is constantly evolving. This is nowhere more apparent than in the world of web design. We want the websites we visit to be useful, entertaining, and fast. If we wait for more than three seconds for a website to load, we have already clicked on to something else. We also use the internet and look at websites on our mobile devices now more than ever, and if a website is not optimized for mobile use, it is of no use to most of us. These constantly changing trends are showing no signs of changing so it is important to keep up-to-date with the best practice in web design. We value learning and education, and in this quickly advancing field we will find much information on innovation from our blogging peers.
