Great article. I'm a big fan of this - "Once you’re done with the content, you can start to ask yourself whether this content needs a header. Or a logo. Or subnavigation. Does it need navigation at all? And does it really need all of those widgets? The answer to that last question is “No.” I’ve never understood what those widgets are for. I have never seen a useful widget. I have never seen a widget that’s better than white space."

I hate trying to take in content that clearly isn't the focus of the page, where all the site owner wants you to do is click to other pages or click on ads.

This is such a great piece of advice to remember when redesigning or designing a website:

"To build a responsive website that works on all kinds of screens, designing for a small screen first is easiest. It forces you to focus on what’s really important: if it doesn’t fit in this small square, it is probably not terribly important. It forces you to think better about hierarchy, about the right order of components on the page."
