Web Designers -vs- Website Builders
As technology progresses further into the 21st century we will begin to see the rapid development of new technologies which are based on artificial intelligence. Keep in mind that with any new technology comes bugs or hiccups that need to be worked-out. Software will never be perfect, but it hopefully becomes stable and in that stable state is where programmers can begin to further develop software functionality. Getting back to web designers -vs- website builders, website builders are good, but not perfect and cannot (yet) understand the intricacies of web design that only the human eye can see. Call this perception or intuition, but the result is that when a web designer (human) is designing your website they have a more discriminating eye for aesthetics that machines cannot yet capture.
Why Perception and Intuition in Web Design is Important
Think about why a business owner or merchant would pay to have their web designer create a new website, if you’re a business owner or merchant you have already answered this, sales or leads (i.e. revenue). During the web design process, they want to know that each detail their customers will see, directs them to move in the direction of sales or leads. Simple and often overlooked details can cause a customer to turn left when you want them to turn right. This can be remedied by experienced web designers by creating the path with more clarity and purpose, thus leading the customer to the shopping cart or lead generation form.
Website Builders are still Learning
Yes, artificial intelligence is an amazing technology and can do incredible things even though it is still in its infancy. It is safe to say that eventually artificial intelligence may replace humans in the web design industry, but that day is not today. Artificial intelligence is still learning, it is to coin a metaphor still in college trying to learn the craft of web design, and the human psychology behind perception and intuition. It is assumed that one day artificial intelligence will replace many white collar jobs, it will not however develop human intuition and perception.
