Both TJ and I are serial designers. This means that once we have completed a design of a website and we have nothing else to do, we start re-designing what we have just completed. In fact, TJ has just completed yet another revision to his site. I think the old one lasted only a couple months. Am I right TJ? This could be because of many possible factors: 1)We are constantly learning 2)We over criticize ourselves 3) We want to try something new 4) We’re bored. Regardless of the reasons we are both serial designers.

As I was thinking about TJ’s latest rebuild I thought of how much easier and faster his redesign had to have been since his move to standards-based design. A major overhaul of a website can take minutes when you have extrapolated the presentation from the content. In two minutes you can change how everyone views your site.

This is one of my favorite features of designing with standards. It’s a must for serial designers. You can easily change your look without touching the content whenever you feel like it.

Not that this is new news or anything but something that just popped in my head.

So how does a serial designer ever finish a project?
