Christian blog about church website design

Well, today’s lesson is “Always learn from the others!”. This is true in any domain of activity, not only in web design. It is one of the “must do” things. Always look around. As a personal experience outside the design business, I (used to - we haven’t met in a while) play in a rock band. While playing together we were great. Well, once a year we used to go to a national concert where underground bands from all over the country used to come and play. Well…what do you know? There were other people better or at least different!

And you know what? You could only see this by looking around. If you do your stuff closed in a box, you will never learn anything and more than this you will never see new stuff, you will never see trends, what is good and what is wrong, etc. This is a part of your permanent education. Loon and see how the others are doing one way or an other, there are always better solutions to your problems. Actually when you say that there is no solution to some problem you face, always think that the solution is there, only that you can’t see it. Well, maybe somebody else already found it.

Meet people. Meet designers, chat and learn, tell the others how you do things and they will tell you how they do things. Don’t just go and tell them “I am the best” or “Let me show you how things should be done”, you will only upset the rest and they will never accept you around.

Look for design collections, there are plenty of design collections, for example I have found a great collection of best sites from the point of view of a designer where you can see nice designs, see for ex this one or this one , you will only learn from seeing somebody else’s work.

Always ask yourself how an other designer did this or that. Ask around, read blogs, forums, chat with the designer, some of them will tell you.

Be social, you need it when you work as a web media professional!
