I think quite the opposite. The 2.0 design style is pretty colorful, but its the presence of sites that come off as raw. Part of the reason for that is because web 2.0 is made to be very user-friendly where Web as we know it is designed to be application-driven rather than graphically-driven. Internet is going toward the time where it will be served almost as an OS to computing... Not sure how many people actually share that theory though.

ArtAshes, I have a strange perspective on most anything, so no surprise there!
:lol:
That was one colorful link indeed, I stand corrected.
I'm not sure what you mean by its the presence of sites that come off as raw. Please can you expand on that for me? As I said, it's very possibly me misunderstanding what the whole Web 2.0 concept is.
What can I say, I admit it when I'm wrong and am always willing to learn. As you can see I know zero about design lol but I know what I like!

And if you don't mind, I'd love to hear more on that when you have time to spare.

The Web 2.0 look is very new and still hasn't got a "established criteria"
White; Grey; Black and Gradients is a common example however things can certainly be taken further.
I think Zone.net has a fantastic "Web 2.0" style design.

Marks, that site is what my impression of Web 2.0 styling was more or less (but without the colored blocks since they ain't grey lol). Thanks for the example!

I've actually never seen a black/white/grey web 2.0 site, so maybe I just live in a box or design in an odd manner. Most of theones I've seen or worked on used rather bright saturated fun colors, kind of reminiscent of Apple's fruit colors. When I learned how to design web 2.0 designs my criteria were:
* Simple layout
* Centered orientation
* Design the content, not the page
* 3D effects, used sparingly
* Soft, neutral background colours
* Strong colour, used sparingly
* Cute icons, used sparingly
* Plenty of whitespace
* Nice big text
but shades of grey isn't on it.

Thanks for the info, purple! You know I really need to stop reading about web design on the back of my Cheerios box at the breakfast table and find more reliable sources, ha!
