Back in about 1906, Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the not so equal distribution of wealth in his country; he figured out
that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth.
Im sure Pareto thought that sucked pretty badly; needless to say, he had no idea how good they had it back then!
OK, so what does this have to do with web design?
The 80/20 has since evolved into a proven principle that works in just about any field - web design in no different. A classic definition of the principle
states: that a small number of the causes (20%) are responsible for most (80%) of the effect.
With respect to web design, we can say that 20% of the work will take up 80% of your time. So the trick is to identify that expensive 20% and do
something about it!
What is that 20% of the work (in a typical web design project) that is taking 80% of your time?
It could be different for you, but from what Ive seen, the big time waster is in the set up. When Im talking about the set-up, I am talking about two
things:
Figuring out what the client wants and dealing with them.
Creating the basic structure for the website.
