Creativity may be an important concept while developing a website, however, it is not the main key. Creativity and design may catch the eye of a website’s visitor, but that does not imply that the visitor will be attracted to the website’s actual purpose, and that being business and market purposes. Mark O’Brien connects a website in which it’s main purpose is creativity to an architect’s design of a demo house with it’s main purpose of showing how many various designs he/she can generate in his article, “The Purpose of a Website”. For a website to be successful, access has to be of ease for not everyone is computer savvy during this day and age. A website may be exactly of a visitor’s needs and/or wants, but in the end, if she/he can not access what they wish to reach, they will, for a fact, depart from the website, even though it’s purpose, business and market wise, may satisfy that person’s desires. In addition to that, a website should have some creativity, however, too much creativity can also lose visitors easily. For example, if a visitor cannot easily find what they are looking for within the first few seconds of approaching the website, the visitor’s attraction towards this website for not only it’s creativity, but also for its business and market intentions. A website, as stated by Mark O’Brien, is a self-guided tour for its users. With that, the website needs to be accessed of ease for one to get to where they want and get to what they want without the assistance of the website’s maker because of the fact that he/she will not be of presence.
Throughout my years in high school, being almost three, I have only taken art classes such as studio art, 3-D design, and I am currently taking Ceramics. All of these classes do not involve any graphic experience, however, I am a quick learner when it comes to computers and I cannot wait to become more involved in this field.
