I missed yesterday’s program because I was demoing an umbraco website I made. That’s the disclaimer part (as in “I hang with the umbraco crew”) — and an excellent oppurtunity to second Hartvig’s take on the complexity as the new black notion.

I basically did the “Write, Preview, Publish” walkthrough, pointed to special modifications made to their implementation. And that was it. They wanted to use their website as a communication platform and liked the simple interface where someone already had made a decision not to bloat everything with buttons and funky functionality noone’s using (or should be using). They didn’t have a list of problems that needed solving, functionality that could be “nice to have”, ambitious plans to take over the world by pushing buttons. Their focus was on writing and selecting content. Which is why I think they’ll walk away with their task completed and their mind clear.
