Overview
"What you see is what you want" is a user-focused slogan that places
the user in control of what they want to see and how they want to see
it. If a user wants to see their site on cell phone, so be it. If they
want to print the site, it's no problem. If they want to navigate using
a directed search or just want to browse, it's all up to them. It seems
pretty obvious that many customer-driven sites already practice the
WYSIWYW principle.
Regardless of the adoption of the exact concept, there is no
guarantee that even the basic ideas behind WYSIWYW will continue to be
important in Web design. The Web doesn't sit still. Innovation occurs at
a frantic pace and the distance between a "cobweb" and a bleeding-edge
site is short. As times change, the design principles presented in this
book should be questioned, lest they become too restrictive or even
inappropriate for the current Web environment.
Examples
