I stepped into Indonesia recently and it’s been 2 weeks. All I notice was people are on their mobile browsing, it is a hot media right now in Indonesia, their 3G rate is very low and reliable, I even get myself a SIM card to browse with my mobile phone. That remind me about creating mobile-compatible web. Checking into my Google analytics, I saw some Opera Mini browser. After I log into my web with my Opera Mini, I notice that it took about 50kb to load a full website, which is very heavy for mobile web.

What is the content of the “design” in web design. It is the effect? The structure? The arrangement? Or the guide on a webpage? Which one is the core job of the web designer? Designing a web site shouldn’t be a web designer, but a web architecture, because one need to know how to structure the whole layout, then guiding the visitor from one part to another.

A lot of time we have argument about who copying who and who steal who. Actually there’s a very thin line in between copy and steal. My understanding on copy is to exactly extract from a existing design; while stealing is to get some part or even a “feel” of a existing design.

Facebook and Twitter has become one of the hottest topic among the World and almost everyone participant on it. Just the matter of updating or not. Believe it or not, most of the people around me are into these 2 things only. And with these 2 things, they can spend hours and even days on it. Interesting? What so fun about those anyway?

Are those services killing we as a web designer? Not exactly, there are beneficial among web designer too. Especially yhose who work freelance. Pre-made template, has been inspiration for me, I don’t buy it, I just browse around, like CSS gallery. To save web designer time and hassle, PSD to XHTML service is a powerful weapon.

Back updating ZhngSuiSui. Anyway, I’ve just made a biggest decision of my life.
