Thanks for this Peter. This is exactly what I’m needing right now, I’ve just started my first blog and am torn between weather I should use a free Word press theme or get a professional theme done.

Excellent post! I want my blog site ( http://www.HotKomb.com ) to be impressive but don’t know much about the technical stuff of web design/ layout. After reading this article I feel like I should go back to the drawing board.

In the offline world, I work in an Advertising Agency and we do a lot of lay-outs, mostly for print ads. It’s pretty unexpected that I read a good lesson on Art Direction in a blogging site!

I read a lot of articles where they say that the number one mistake is to put blogger’s pictures and biography.

Excellent article. But who spends his time only on designing the theme. Most of Internet Marketers outsource this coding and designing aspect.

[...] One of the buzzwords of Internet marketing is design. Peter Flaschner over at http://www.problogger.net wrote an excellent article on the importance of design. [...]

I agree with Sara. I am also a coder and am forced to layout pages. A good application is use to move around elements is Microsoft Visio. It is one of my primary tools for developing.

Could there be a larger scale image for the wire frame example? I was able to open it in Photoshop and enlarge it to see the element names.

Just stumbled upon this and it’s a great article. I’m a programmer, not a designer, but I do design in a sense. I use wireframes on all my projects and I really wish more people would do so. Design (not the graphic part) is one of the most important parts of any web or software project. Wireframes are a great tool to give you a visual representation.
