This page includes alot of popular web design ideas that are absolutely awful. Included are things like using Flash for navigation, splash

I don't consult that. The reasonable points I already knew, but a few of them are too picky.

An experienced designer will have long figured this stuff out. If you don't know it, by all means refer to that list.

The Startup Skill Set

19.05.12

I went to LeanCamp London last Sunday. It was a blast - there were a lot of interesting people to meet, and one of the highlights was, of course, seeing Eric Ries answer a whole bunch of questions very intelligently and entertainingly.

Another key highlight, for me, was my own "workshop" talk, judiciously titled "Lean Startup Skill Set". Was it really specifically lean? Perhaps not, but it's a skill set that will help any entrepreneur trying to build a startup , particularly those that use Lean methods.

My premise, as I explained previously , is that success (at least to the "survival" or "comfort" levels) in the startup world has more to do with skills than with ideas. A skilled entrepreneur will achieve some measure of success even with a mediocre idea. An unskilled entrepreneur is likely to fail even with a brilliant idea whose time has come.

There are exceptions, of course, but you can't rely on being the exception any more than you can rely on winning the lottery. So the best approach as a new entrepreneur is to try and fill the glaring gaps in your skill set (via learning, partnerships and mentorship) so that if your startup fails, at least it will be failing for an interesting reason .
