Web 2.0 elements collection for web developers

Ben Hunt writes in Web Design from Scratch that if he had to sum up “Web 2.0″ design in one word, it would have to be “simplicity“. Today’s simple, bold, elegant page designs deliver more with less:

  • They enable designers to shoot straight for the site’s goals, by guiding the site visitor’s eye through the use of fewer, well-chosen visual elements.
  • They use fewer words but say more, and carefully selected imagery to create the desired feel.
  • They reject the idea that we can’t guess what people want from our sites

Web design is simpler than ever, and that’s a good thing. 2.0 design means focused, clean and simple. That doesn’t necessarily mean minimalist, just simplicity. That’s not to say that all web sites should be minimal, but that we should use as few features as are necessary to achieve what you need to achieve.

One way of interpreting it is: Given any two possible solutions to a problem, the simpler one is better. Here are some examples. Note how unnecessary elements have been stripped out from each. There could be a lot more on each page than there is… but would that make them stronger?

The result is that you have to look at the content. You find yourself interacting with exactly the screen features the designer intended. And you don’t mind - it’s easy, and you get just what you came for.

Why simplicity is good?

  • Web sites have goals and all web pages have purposes.
  • Users’ attention is a finite resource.
  • It’s the designer’s job to help users to find what they want (or to notice what the site wants them to notice)
  • Stuff on the screen attracts the eye. The more stuff there is, the more different things there are to notice, and the less likely a user is to notice the important stuff.
  • So we need to enable certain communication, and we also need to minimise noise. That means we need to find a solution that’s does its stuff with as little as possible. That’s economy, or simplicity.

Here you have some good images to help you in your designs. Remember, use them to help your readers to focus on content.
