It is my experience that when designing their websites, most clients want the design to associate their organization with some measure of gravity. They want to look important and powerful. Often they want the website to communicate that they’re energetic and that there is a lot going on with their organization or company.

Few things are as compelling or as fruitful as a rivalry. Any landscape, no matter how vibrant or contentious, is merely tepid without the conspicuous presence of two, and only two, powerful and clearly defined antagonists.
