The process and skill of information design are essential to successful web development projects. The web is still a relatively young form of communication. It's to be expected, that mistakes will be made as clients and developers work through the process of communicating this new medium. Learning how to effectively communicate about the structural and technical complexities of websites is central to improving our ability to utilize the web to its fullest potential.
The web is truly a revolution in how we communicate information. As difficult as the web development process can be, companies continue to build sites, attempting to realize the rich potential the web. Imagine if the time commonly wasted in miscommunication during web projects could be poured into actually improving sites. Instead of bickering over problems, clients and developers could focus their attention on making their sites better. Exaggerated expectations could be uncovered and addressed if clients and developers worked through an effective hands-on process of defining their sites.
Web technology will continue to change and evolve. Every day new site features and capabilities become available. But no matter how much promise technology holds, good communication will always be essential to successful web development. Sooner or later, grayscreen prototyping might be outdated, but communicating technical information non-technically will always provide a solid foundation for effective web development. Only a deep commitment to discovering new and innovative ways of communicating technical information non-technically will allow us to keep the peace and end this war between clients and developers.
