The way websites are designed is changing rapidly. It’s a natural hazard for this type of work unfortunately. I thought to myself recently “I can’t keep up with all of these changes”. But really….has it ever been different? \u00a0Likely not.<\/p>\n

I’ve done webdesign since the days of the dial-up modems where even having a background color that was different from grey was considered the coolest thing. I’ve seen techniques where it was once cutting edge, became common, and then died out completely (slicing anyone?)<\/p>\n

I’ve had to work around browsers that are constantly footracing to see who can outdo the other. I’ve seen browsers completely disappear now that I think about it. I’ve seen monitors get larger and larger demanding that we design interfaces that meet changing viewing habits. I now live in a world where my own retired father, who once used to humor his son’s excitement over a dialup connection, is now installing beta web browsers just to see what it looks like.<\/p>\n

It’s a bit overwhelming when you look back. How did we web-designers ever get by? It would be akin to asking a print designer to print a brochure where the paper size is constantly changing materials and sizes. It would be near impossible to predict any nice design outcome. Yet somehow we do it.<\/p>\n

Does the fact that these new retina displays shake up yet another reliable web-standard<\/a> concern me a bit? \u00a0Yeah it does. Anything that brings more uncertainty to an already uncertain design standard makes me jittery. But as always I have to remind myself to take it in stride. It’s what we’ve always done.
