Webfield Manual
"Everything we do is designed, whether we're producing a magazine, a website or a bridge. Design is really the creative invention that designs everything". HENRY PETROSKI
Design Categories
Accessability
“The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential
aspect.”
TIM BERNERS-LEE
Animation
“It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
STEVE JOBS
Best Practices
“The more users’ expectations prove right, the more they will feel in control of the system and the more
they will like it.”
JAKOB NIELSEN
Grids and Type
“The web’s greatest strength, I believe, is often seen as a limitation, as a defect. It is the nature of
the web to be flexible, and it should be our role as designers and developers to embrace this flexibility
and produce pages which, by being flexible, are accessible to all.”
JOHN ALLSOP
Inspiration
“Every designers’ dirty little secret is that they copy other designers’ work. They see work they like, and they imitate it. Rather cheekily, they call this inspiration.” AARON RUSSELL
Process
"A good designer will have a logical answer for each decision. Nothing should be done at random, after all, and intentionality is a hallmark of good design." JULIE ZHUO
Staying Current
“Figuring out what the next big trend is, tells us what we should focus on.” MARK ZUCKERBURG
Design Systems
“Sometimes we can be so focused on getting the site ready and live, that we lose sight of what happens
after it’s launched, and how it’s going to be maintained. A simple web style guide can make all the
difference.”
ANNA DEBENHAM
Toolbox
"...remember the website design tool’s choice can break or make your website design." HAMMAD BAIG
Workflow
"Implementing a well-defined web design workflow will help you strategically guide your clients through every major phase of the project so they know exactly what to expect and when." ALEX YORK
My Pick
