Yes, it seems very accurate. I’m pretty novice in desiging. I’m more of a coder (PHP/Apache url rewrite/structuring) than a designer. But I always like to have logo top left, navigation right under as a bar or a left navigation.

Guess I’ll have to start getting into a professional set of graphic tools if I’m to catch up with the best design firms.

Great post and one that I will save and remember. I completely agree with sticking to conventions . It is great to experiment with unusual layouts and user experiences, but not when good usability is the main objective for your project. But then again, going back to what Michal Kozak said above, that still depends on who your core audience is.

Again, great job:)

The most web designers these days are thinking of the great design effects, brushes, sliding, paddings, transparency and so on, but they have totally forgotten about the usability and UX, and it’s so simple.

All you should need to do is think about the primary objective of your site (Is it buying something? Sharing something? Reading something?) and how the page you’re looking at fits into that objective (Checkout page? List of posts?). Now ask yourself, is this obvious?
