UI Web Design with Purpose

The intent of designing a user interface is to make the information as accessible as possible. A travesty in design can be a great look with poor functionality. If your user cant access your information or products then something is seriously wrong. Another issue lies in whether your user ever returns. An important question to ask is whether they can identify the need to return to your services. It needs to be easy enough that they can achieve instant gratification and desire more when they are done for the day. For example if they stumble upon web design in the Inland Empire are they going to refer you to a friend, or forget about your portfolio before the days end.
The interface is a navigational panel that should be operational by just about anyone that encounters it. Too many options and too much flare may confuse your viewer, but not enough can leave them disinterested. The key to creative web design is combining that creative aspect with a design built for the web. Which of course means it functions as a working tool that provides to both parties.
The skeletal structure of the site counts the most. The remaining design is what completes it, but without the structure of content management the concept collapses.
