Porque este site qua se não tem gráficos nem frames?

A justificação que Don Norman (www.jnd.org) aplica ao seu site é perfeitamente aplicável a este portal. Coloco assim o texto original para o leitores opinarem... A polémica foi lançada:

"This page was originally entitled, Why this site has (almost) no graphics. The Nielsen Norman group doesn't believe in graphics for the sake of graphics. We do believe in websites that fit their mission. If the mission is information, don't get in the way with extraneous stuff. If the mission is fun and enjoyment, well, do whatever your viewers want.

My partner, Jakob Nielsen, has argued most persuasively -- and numerous studies over the past several decades have confirmed -- that content and the speed with which it arrives are the most important properties of a website. What good is it to have great beauty, subtle pictures, and fancy design if most viewers give up before the third download? Moreover, most browsers are not the very latest version, so they may not be capable of handling all those latest features. And anyway, html is not very standard, not with companies engaged in a battle to the death to ensure that their browser is better than the others, with proprietary features. User be damned, is their philosophy. Well, we put humans first, technology second.

Go for simplicity, elegance. Go for content and speed. So speaketh Jakob. So speaketh Don. Hardly a surprise that we both speak the same language. These are the principles that my books, my life, and the consulting group that Nielsen and I have founded are all about".
