Local Expert Speaks!
I was recently asked to comment on website design by a local newspaper. The result, a two page expose on the derth of well-designed municipal websites, will thrill and astonish you. This is only the second time in my life someone has published my opinion (the first was a review of a Sigur Ros show in Madison five years ago), and in spite of a few missteps i couldn’t be happier. My dear friend Erika, who is a PR professional, has chided me for the following sentence:
“…Politics aside, designers everywhere heaved a collective sigh of relief when the new whitehouse.gov went online because it proves that great design can be applied to extremely dense informational sites.”
Unfortunately, that’s how i write. I usually try to edit myself when i’m writing professionally, I think i failed on this occasion. Still — in this post i’ve used the words “derth”, “chided”, and “churlish” — so that really is my voice; i’m not just making stuff up to be churlish.

- $200/year budget
- Designed by the clerk’s son
- Outdated clip art
- Heaved a collective sigh of relief
