Anatomy of Design

The design of MyDC websites, much like our own bodies is a meticulous blend of form and function. There's a strong skeleton, functional organization and of course a powerful central nervous system.

Everything rests on the skeleton

MyDC's skeleton is designed to be very flexible to brilliantly organize and display your content if you choose to offer just the basics but it's robust enough to handle great volumes of valuable content.

Skeletons are all about alignment, wouldn't you agree? You're eyes naturally for look well aligned images and text on websites. Clean vertical and horizontal spacing organizes information, letting visitors easily navigate your sites information without distraction. No one likes to sift through text-scoliosis.

Using your head(ers)

There are precious seconds when a visitor first opens your page where you can capture their interest. This means you need to make an impression before they've even scrolled down. This is using your header.

MyDC websites offer captivating graphics you can use to make a visual impact for your site visitors. It's also powerful enough to let you add large custom graphics or images as a slideshow.

Getting from an organ down to a cell

Just like in anatomy things can be broken down into finer and finer structures. When visiting a website similar organization is very helpful for navigation. If a patient wants to learn more about their back pain having all of the health conditions organized in one location will make it easy to find what their looking for.

This organization gives visitors a quick summary of those topics and lets them read further to learn in greater detail. MyDC websites packages all of those 'cells' very neatly into full functioning organs to bring your whole site to life.
