Why sales people should never design websites

Every day, digital artists in corporate environments are in a battle, nay, a war with sales people. Designers always want to make something pretty while sales people just want something up on the web as quick as possible with as many keywords as possible. What do you think would happen to a company website if the design was left to a sales person? Well, if you dare to click the link below, you will see one of the worst web designs from an “Internet Services Company” I have seen in years. I really hope this is some type of joke, but after watching the “innovative” video walk-out and hearing all those buzz words coming out that person mouth, it sounded like he was serious.

You’ve been warned.

New Facebook layout looking like a social iTunes

Straight from a tweet form one of our readers, Mathew has posted screen shots of how the new Facebook is looking like. Personally, I have never been a fan of Facebook’s current layout, but then again, I doubt I could do any better. Past the break are the screenshots of the future of Facebook. After viewing these, I think I’ll be happy with the design. It’s very reminiscent of the iTunes/Mac OSX Finder layout. Simple shortcuts or menus on the left, and everything else happens on the right with a simple search bar at the top.

Good job, Facebook. I look forward to your achievement of keeping productivity down in schools and businesses across the world by 25% or more.
