I think what you said about luxury villas can be extended to all services. If you promote high quality and comfort, you site has to breathe high quality. I like clear looks of sites. Stylish or minimalistic, I don't care as long as I can find my way through. I am also quite sensitive to fonts they choose and their size. If reading the content is a big pain, I quit. I've seen "trendy&cool" sites written in way too many colors and I instantly feel tired when reading them. Hi Mig,

You blog is a very good example of elegance and refinement in design. I think this will be one of the next threads at The Dog Yard. Oh, yes.

It just makes sense. Apart from the attractive fresh clean looks these create, readability and navigation around a site is enhanced and the content stands out. Graphics can then be used to their best effect within the content without restriction being imposed by the overall design. One aspect that I find a lot of designers do not abide to so much is the 'nice big text' I think that trying to cram too much in, by using smaller text to avoid scrolling, can spoil a page. Other methods of highlighting content can be used instead. You have written another great post and the trail that led on via Ben Hunt's article gave me much enjoyment and helped fuel ideas.
