]]> Comment on Your In-House Content Management System Is A Con by Ben Morris http://www.fogofeternity.com/2009/12/your-in-house-content-management-system-is-a-con/comment-page-1/#comment-22035 Ben Morris Sat, 23 Jan 2010 11:28:28 +0000 http://www.fogofeternity.com/?p=959#comment-22035 The first time anybody approaches content management they often consider writing it in-house, hence the fact that freelance designers will bump in to the occasional bespoke CMS. Nobody *ever* considers writing content management in-house the second time around. Custom CMS systems are always a bad idea, without exception. As you point out, it ties you in to a supplier, limits functionality, increases cost, blah, blah, blah. It's a sign that the developers are clueless, basically. CMS is difficult enough on an established platform...

I like this whole Golden Ratio concept. Personally (and I should clarify that I actually know nothing) I would subtract my margins first and apply the golden ratio to the rest. As you say, the difference is minimal, but the key point is that it's <i>barely</i> noticeable, i.e. it IS noticeable. At a glance, the site looks better - I figure whatever calculations you use, you'll find one that happens to explain what you think is naturally more appealing! If you've never read Blink (malcolm gladwell), you should. Oooh, a designer after my own geeky heart. I like this whole Golden Ratio concept.
