Simplicity in design scares, yet excites me!

This whole idea of simplicity in design fascinates me. Especially in regards to websites, whose beauty lies often in the fact that you can rattle on forever about how good you are! I know that’s bad copy, but you can if you want to! The fat is however:

1/ I have no eye for design yet I do love simplicity in design.

2/ However, I just wonder how much simplicity actually sells.

3/ If the end game is simplicity then job done.

4/ If the end game is sales. then job not done. Fail.

5/ My takeaway is that simplicity works for creative types – writers, photographers, designers.

6/ The idea of stripping everything away and hiding it in other sections of say one’s website (eg. hiding social media links in Contacts),  scares the hell out of me.

I’d love to simplify my site…in fact I want a site just like this.

I just haven’t got the guts!

You?
