Web design is a lot like fashion—everyone has a distinct style.
And though there are aesthetic trends that come and go in the Web design world, the best websites are the ones that reflect the unique personality of the people for whom they were designed.
So if you’re interested in creating an author website (or having someone do it for you), but are not sure what kind of design you want to go for, no worries!
This quick little quiz will reveal what kind of Web personality you are and help point you in the right direction.
Have fun!
