wefunction.com — Quality is a word that a lot of people like to use when describing their web design services. But what is quality, how do you know if a design is quality or not. Well, I think that there’s quite a few ways to spot quality within web designs. Once you can see just what goes into making a quality web design, you can use the techniques yourself.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Since when did we collectively say that Web 2.0 and the "designs" surrounding it are the "standard"?? I recall many, many previous "well known" website designs that used small fonts and packed as much information on the page as possible. (and many designers followed suit)God only knows what we will come up with for the future of web design.The designs of today do not necessarily mean that they are perfect and timeless. Me personally, I think the article's author demonstrates a way of thinking that stifles creativity and innovation.

Any proficient web designer/programmer will use both. They both have their purposes, bending css to do something it wasn't meant to do for the sole purpose of not using a table is not good programming, it's blind stubbornness.

I agree. Web 2.0 designs look great, but if you're going to be using the site for more than 15 minutes you want something simple and standard, not complex, colorful, and "3D".

The point is that paying attention to small details can impact the quality of a design. Not that 1 pixel borders equate to quality design. They are just one example of the point.

@NathanielJ - I must be honest, when I originally designed the site I didn't really expect to be writing posts of that length, which I guess is why the proportion seems a little out. For sure that will change when we next update.

It's just an article, doesn't mean you have to implement it..
