I don’t know if touchscreen consideration should be on the forefront of your mind when creating and laying out content right now, but it’s a good idea to understand today’s content is consumed in many ways.

Web, mobile and other devices continue to add to the contact points a user has with your content. Thanks for the comment.

… but also content needs to be presented accordingly. Due to the increase of touchscreen devices websites will have to be more touchable. When creating and publishing content keep in mind that it has to be readable on mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, etc. too, because mobile will dominate the internet soon.

I get what your saying, was just throwing some (lame) humor out there. Luckily I’m not skilled enough with design to ever become one of those designers that designs more for themselves, haha.

Centering the design around the content is what makes web designers different than template implementors.

I used to make a layout and then try to fill it with content. Now I make semantic html without regards to a layout, and then I’ll make a design based around the content made. Working that way really helps prevent over-designing, and it leads to awesome code to boot.

Good article!

Great ideas Joseph … errr, maybe not.

Very true, every aspect of a good website can hurt you if not done right. Bad design, poor navigation and lackluster font choices can deplete your content efforts quickly.

My main point is making businesses aware of the need for good content. Don’t leave content undervalued or as the last piece you consider in your website (too many do!).

The best is when content and design work together to deliver a great web experience. Like you stated, let it soar. Thanks for the comment.

I’d like to see this post written in comic sans, with gloss and lens flares everywhere and the headline created with WordArt: Then see if we can take the post as seriously.

I’d say bad design hurts good content, adequate design is indifferent, and good design makes your content soar. But design can still hurt the content
