However, from time to time a customer will just want me to come up with something on my own. That’s right! It is not that they don’t care, it is just that they don’t have enough time to get too involved in the design process. The fact is, they need a website and they need it quick.

Was the very first traditional website conceived by a design idea or the need to communicate content? This is akin to asking whether the chicken or the egg came first.
