agree. i also want to develop a company with more efficient and more simple hierarchy. as a start i might hire less than 10 person. if the project need a bigger team, then i'll hire people only for certain time. or maybe hiring freelancer.

Thank you Danny. I am a firm believer in KISS. So many times we over complicate.
It is good to have some "Structure" but never let the structure or system get in the way of accomplishing the goal.

I have witness the eyse of clients glaze over when marketing plans are overly ambitious or complex. ( Is that for the clients benefit? if not ditch it.)

Keep it simple, one step at a time.

Now that's impressive. But, like you say Mike, keeping the design simple lets the content and users shine - which is what it's all about at the end of the day.

I was about to reply "Awww, Ria, didn't know you cared" and then remembered the acronym ;-)

I agree with Ria - K.I.S.S.

great post Danny. definitely something people need to remember - a lot :) especially me. I'm building/designing/coding 4 websites for a mini network by the end of the month (hopefully) and it's a LOT of work but it's a great help to know how to keep it simple and not overthink/overdo.

Danny,

We must be in rhythm with each oher. I just went to a flea market and bought a book called, "Principles of Applied Stupidity - How to get and do more by thinking and knowing less"

It doesn't. You hit the nail right on the head! e.e. cummings once wrote a poem called "all ignorance toboggans into know." It speaks of how we strive for ignorance only to slide back into knowledge again. Thanks for bringing us back to knowledge!
