You Got 3 seconds!
I came across an interesting article by Luke Wroblewski on how site visitors within 2-3 seconds can quickly identify whether the site they are visiting is worth staying or leaving. That means as a site owner you got 3 seconds to impress your site visitors. 3 seconds might not be the exact amount of time for each visitor, but it emphasizes that you have a few seconds to grab people’s attention and communicate who you are, what you do and what to do next on your site.
A great book that goes beyond the web to explain this phenomenon is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.

So what is web design?
According to Jeffrey Zeldman:
Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.
I think this is by far the best and the most concise definition of web design you can find online.
To see what is not web design, read Zeldman’s article on Understanding Web Design in the new issue of A List Apart.
