Some of the worst website design decisions start with perfectly good advice.
Keep everything above the fold. Make your content scannable. Keep your layouts consistent. Make your buttons stand out. Add more interactivity.
Sound familiar?
In episode 105 of Think Inside the Square, Becca takes a closer look at five common design principles that can make a website less effective when they're treated like rules instead of guidelines.
From overcrowded hero sections to repetitive layouts and animations that compete with the content, we're talking about why context matters more than following every so-called best practice.
In this episode:
Why everything important doesn't need to fit above the fold
The difference between scannable content and content that's too short
Why consistency doesn't have to mean repetition
How too many calls to action can create confusion
When website animations become distractions instead of enhancements
Good design isn't about memorizing more rules. It's about knowing which decisions make sense for the website you're creating.
