“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” – Luke 6:31 (NIV)

A website that ignores its users is quickly forgotten. Effective design is user-centered, created with the audience in mind. In web design, as in life, we’re called to consider others and serve their needs. When we design with empathy and compassion, we create experiences that invite users in and make them feel valued. Luke 6:31 reminds us of the importance of serving others thoughtfully—design isn’t just for us; it’s a tool to connect and communicate with those we’re called to serve.

Good design considers the needs and perspectives of others, aiming to provide a welcoming and functional experience. This principle of putting others first extends beyond web design into every area of life. By placing people at the heart of what we do, we reflect God’s love and grace, making our work a testimony of His care for others.

How can you approach your projects or responsibilities with a more people-centered mindset?
