Form vs. Function - module 1 - Dave Kalkanoff

What I learned after reading about form vs. function was that form ever follows function. Form ever follows Function was a dictum expressed by Louis Henri Sullivan. What it basically means is that function of anything created comes before the form. You must consider the function of a site before diving into the form of a site. I don't know if I necessary agree with the fact that function must come before form. I believe that form can come before function. To me the form is the foundation of a building or site you are trying to construct. In determining what the layout or form of your site will be it will allow you to come up with ideas regarding how the site is going to function. There must be a balance between form and function. You can't have too much and not enough of the other. Whenever you are creating your function you have to keep it simple enough that the users will be able to figure it out. It will be straight forward enough that won't have anything confusing wrapped in it.
