Content Centered Design – Web Design Tips
Posted by My Media Pal on / 25 Comments
http://www.mlwebco.com – In this video I touch on the importance of content centered design. The idea of making sure you design your websites based on the content and not try to fit content within a certain framework.

Long time no see, good you are back.
Good One…
Always a great video from you mike. I hope to join your training course
soon!
Best way to design – get all the content, ask about possible future
content, plan consistent styling based on perceived contingencies – then
develop a design based on that information. Or do it like i used to when i
was starting out – design, get content, redesign, get more content,
redesign, add more content, redesign, argue with client, complain,
redesign, complain louder, redesign, get more content, complain, complain,
complain….
just dealing with a client who wanted the full works but had no content,
this really confirmed a lot of things for me. Thanks Mike.
just today, I landed a client with literally NO content at all outside of
an about page. But as long as I get paid, who cares.
thanks mike!
This is so helpful….Thanks Mike!! 😀
Nice video Mike, Content is always one of the draw backs in web design
hey buddy knowing that you are a ui designer have you ever thought of doing
charecter design for mobile games or illustrations of some sort
Thanks Mike, this is very helpful!
I have received the complete opposite from Mike in which you speak.
imo responsive design is important as more and more people are using mobile
devices to view websites and not just the computer screen. I am learning
responsive design as well and from the looks of it it is not that difficult
and will be what future clients if not now will be looking for in the near
future.
More great advice Mike thanks. If you are starting out in webdesign I
It has been invaluable to me and my learning.
recommend Mike’s course. A one time fee and almost weekly if not monthly
videos on many topics. A great and very different approach than others are
taking to teach us newbs
Thanks again Mike. And thanks for responding to all my emails and the
additional help I have requested along the way.
Well then you are the exception.
your talking nonsense, Mike always replies to me and a few of my friends
personally. You should be happy that someone of his caliber is taking the
time out of there schedule to make these videos. Most people in his
position would not give away such useful information.
if it’s a marketing tool or not – he’s helping many people who are coming
up in web design – weather he’s makes money or get’s website sales – it’s a
bi-product of his assistance. thanks for commenting!
Actually, I’m not “talking nonsense” my friend. I wrote him here and on his
personal website in regards to some career advice. He never responded,
whatsoever. My issue here is he says he’ll respond to you personally, but
doesn’t when the time arrives. If he’s too busy to respond, then don’t say
you’ll respond.
Thanks Mike!
I try to respond to all emails. Shoot me an email this weekend and I’ll be
sure to get to it. I don’t normally check Youtube emails, but hit me up
through my contact form on my website and I’ll respond.
Thank you for your great vids. I’m new to Firework but you have made it
look so simple. Keep it up good work.
God bless you !
THIS COMMENT SAVED ME
Just found your vids. Look v.usefull. Tell my boss and clients that content
is king every damn day. The message we aim to portray to the end user is
paramount, it always amazes me how we are expected to design a site with
very little content supplied. Often I find myself advising the client on
what type of content I need from them even tho it is their business I am
trying to best engage them with their audience. Baffling! Thanks again for
your time to put such useful vids up.
Great vids,thkx! I now realize how difficult it is to do our own Web site.
what content should i put in there? Very tricky. We really must be
continuously focused on the content we need/want. it’s easy to get out of
track and get lost on content that doesn’t matter… all the best!
