This was a , not a complex app, but the important shift was turning a clear idea into a live, decent-looking site without a middleman.

Asking for the desired result worked better than describing exact layout details. A request like making a section read like a prospectus rather than a brochure was more useful than trying to control the design piece by piece. After three months, traffic was about 14 times higher.
