What Would Google Do?

Google and I, we’re old friends. I’ve written about them here and there for years. Google, as a web innovator, has done just about everything right.

But as a designer, I’m tired of hearing clients and associates ask, “What would Google do?” as if every move they make is pure gold. When it comes to visual/exerience design, Google does just about everything wrong, starting with their user-hostile homepage.

So I wrote a little something for the new web design magazine, Vitamin. It’s intended to be opinionated, so it’s okay if you have a different opinion. That’s the thing about old friends – you’re allowed to squabble every once in a while.
