trapped in the paperless, wireless, timeless and spaceless office

Over the months I’ve noticed some aesthetic and functional aspects in web 2.0 projects. Here’s a checklist to help you make your own. 

• Use rounded boxes everywhere
• Make it a one person project
• Use apple green or sea blue as primary colors on your website
• Use Trebuchet MS as the font for your website
• Use a horizontal navigation instead of a vertical navigation bar
• If you still need to use a vertical navigation bar put it on the right of the page. Never on the left
• Use large icons on flat colored rounded boxes
• Use extra-large entry fields in forms
• Don’t write too much text on the homepage
• Use AJAX as much as you can even if you don’t know what it is
• Add a blog to the website
• Move to the San Francisco bay area
