aka: everything I know about good web design I learned from the airport
People who design web sites should spend more time studying airports. Airport designers know their business and have some excellent design principles that web designers need to adapt. Most importantly, airport designers understand their place in the world: airports are conduits, not destinations. Most church web sites should be viewed like airports, they are conduits to information, not destinations themselves. Still we try to design sites like they are attractions to be experienced.
This workshop will look at several design principles modeled by airports that also apply to good website design. Learn how traditional advertising principles can actually reduce usability and frustrates users.
Even if you hate flying, this session will give you a great checklist of design principles to help you build sites that are simple and easy to use for your visitors.
