Proof is in the Pudding...

"What does, "The proof is in the pudding", even mean?"  I'm glad you asked!

"The proof is in the pudding" is a popular figure of speech meaning "the quality, effectiveness or truth of something can only be judged by putting it into action or to its intended use" and when applied to food, "A dish may have been made from a good recipe with fresh ingredients and look delicious, but you can really only judge it by putting it in your mouth.  The actual taste is the only true criterion of success." 

"The proof is in the pudding", isn't the original phrase, it’s something like this, "But the key to the mystery lies in the fact that “the proof is in the pudding” is actually a mangled form of the original phrase, which was “the proof of the pudding is in the eating.”

While some may think that websites are poor examples to use, let's take a look at several of our website designs, a website design says a thousand words, so here you go:

I have often thought that a website should be designed before the client pays any money and then presented to the client for a looksy and if they love it, BUY IT!   Too many times the designer has to keep going back to the drawing board because the client does not know what they want…they know what they “don’t” want.  Is this an effective use of a designer’s time or the client’s valuable time, which by the way is the only thing a designer can bill for?  I say NO! 

Have you ever gone shopping for a pair of shoes with a particular budget in mind and you discover the “perfect” pair that costs much more…do you buy them?  I think we all know the answer to that one!
