With close to a decade of experience in web design, I have come across plenty of mistaken beliefs about the latest design tools and technologies; but nothing beats the misconceptions surrounding the use of HTML 5. As developers, we have our own set of misguided beliefs about a certain technology, but as we begin to use that technology we are able to understand what it is all about, its usage, and its scope. Inspired by certain HTML5 requirements that I have come across through the course of time, I wanted to add my two cents to clear the air on certain aspects of HTML5. Most of the misconceptions surrounding HTML5 are because many people think it’s a replacement for Flash. At the outset, I would like to make it clear that this is not an HTML5 vs. Flash post.

With our new show Future Insights Live less than a month away, we’ve been getting more and more excited about all the great content our speakers will be delivering. Longtime Future of Web Design favourite, Aarron Walter (UX design lead at MailChimp) is presenting a keynote on “Honest Customer Relationships,” an approach to communicating with customers that weaves through nearly every activity of the business, including UX and social media platforms. The purpose, according to Aarron, is to understand why communicating honestly with your customers (as opposed to, for example, BP’s superficial marketing effort before the catastrophe of the Deepwater Horizon spill) is so important, and how to get there. “Companies that are scared to be honest, or that have a dark streak in them, are going to be forced to shift,” he says. “The right way to do this is with a great deal of honesty and sincerity — sharing your personality and humanity to create a connection with your audience.”
