Those of you who aren’t natural aesthetes/Ponytails will be wondering if this subject could apply to you. There’s no beauty in pursuits such as programming and business development, is there?
Au contraire! I take a broad view of the term. Yes, of course an artist will see beauty in an elegant design, a pleasing color pallete, or the right choice of fonts. A programmer will find beauty in well-developed, easy-to-read code that benefits the user’s experience; businesspeople and bean-counters enjoy seeing their companies run effectively and efficiently; and marketers thrill at a brilliant promotional campaign.
I enjoy all of these things, and, eclecticist that I am, dabble in pretty much all of the above. Yes, it stretches the usual definition of beauty a bit, but not so far as to make it lose its true meaning. Basically the advice here will be advice with a purpose: no frivolous items that are simply cool or fun, but only those which have a definite reason, a goal to improve your Web presence.
Let’s work together to make the Web a more beautiful place, whatever your definition!
