How to Choose a Web 2.0 Designer ?

When building web 2.0 applications, one of the most important decisions that we had to make is who will do the design work. To withstand internet competition usability of Graphical User Interface, Navigation, Speed of Download, Search Engine visibility are extremely important. After the advent of Web 2.0 sites are becoming accessible to increase audience. Having a smart design with usability and accessibility with a fair amount of interactivity is necessary and very few design agencies can actually design and develop simultaneously.

For Social Article we’ve chosen DIS Web Design and we couldn’t be happier. I thought it would be helpful to share how we made that choice.

What is Web 2.0?

  • O’Reilly’s What Is Web 2.0 - The famous meme map alone is worth serious study and is the central work defining the interlocking elements of Web 2.0.  O’Reilly touches on Web 2.0 as having more of a “gravitational core” than being a concrete set of technologies.  He also introduces all the major planks of his vision of the next generation of the Web as a set of best practices from the first generation.  A terrific read worth every minute spent on it.  Finish this before starting the rest.
  • Wikipedia Definition for Web 2.0 - While this entry undergoes near constant revision, I recommend a visit to see what an amalgam of opinionated contributors brings to the table for Web 2.0 definition.  Devoid of hype or even many buzzwords, the entry has become somewhat disappointing but the key facts are present and is also notably lacking in major anti-hype.  In the end, a balanced if slightly boring view produced by a little wisdom of the crowds.
