Howard Roark as a Web Designer

I can’t help hazarding a guess that if Ayn Rand’s hero Howard Roark was a Web designer then he would’ve also begun with building a site like my Fluid Verve.

Minimalistic and Functional model - objective I

That’s what my objective was, to code something very basic and just enough to let the content do the talking/engaging.

Contemporary and Seamless design - objective II

I don’t intend to imply that my understanding of coding is as exhaustive as Howard Roark would’ve known his Mathematics, Mechanics etc. As a matter of fact my limited knowledge of coding was a constraint that had to be mitigated and a quick site kick off ensured. Hence…

Quick and Easy site launch - objective III

But …

Is this much of a framework enough?

Am I capitalizing on technology?

Can this be considered as “rich user experience”?

The answer to all of these is a blatant NO. I know that Fluid Verve is far away from meeting these unwritten goals, but then, it’s still under construction :)

By the way… I didn’t initially set out with an idea to follow Ayn Rand’s Fountainhead in my site. Just like it happened with my painting titled Howard Roark, I realized the similarity much after its creation!

I read Ayn Rand too long ago to rem any of it now. But I like the minimalistic color scheme and the no frills setup. And I simply love the line - Be Fluid. Explore, Adapt, Grow and Flow with the Verve that Fuels Creativity.
