Design is as much an art as a science. Intuition plays an important part in layout and construction while logic, design principles and old fashioned coding provide the framework.
Webdesign is a constantly changing field. What was current and good design practice six months ago may be obsolete by today. Yet there are some things that are unchanging. Good clean design, sensible navigation and structure, and straightforward information are always in style.
Website visitors should not have to work hard to get to the information they are looking for. Website owners should be able to express themselves through their site. These things haven't changed, but how they are implemented is a constantly evolving process.
Many websites are designed well in some areas while others are neglected. What goes on behind the scenes is just as important as what can be seen. opus imaginis seeks to integrate all aspects of good webdesign including SEO, Usability, Accessibility and Character into site design.
