remember humble pie?
With time, anyone who fancies themselves a web designer will develop personal opinions and taste for what they feel is a good website design. That is all well and good - developing a critical eye takes seeing lots of pages, noticing frustrating elements, or succesfull elements - but as this article from ALA points out, it's still important to remember that it doesn't matter how much a designer likes a site, the customer has the final word. And even though making several versions of a website, and getting people (or even better, prospective end-users) to evaluate them, can take time, it just might be worth it in many cases. And since most of us are wonderfully proficient in separating content from design, making multiple designs is not an unmountable challenge.
