"Web 2.0" is one of the Internet's most widely used (and abused) buzzwords. But as award-winning South Florida Website Designer Bruce Arnold observed in a recent installment of his RSS-syndicated series Web Design with Results in Mind™, the term has no specific definition. Consequently, it has meaning only in context. Here is how it is seen through a lens at Squidoo.com:

"'Web 2.0 design' has no definition, yet it is widely recognizable. Consisting of a light and 'easy on the eyes' look, Web 2.0 design utilizes whitespace with bright, vivid colors and gradients. Fonts play a major role in Web 2.0 - the 'H1' tag resurfaces as a major part of a web page's design, as it is typically a large, bright statement of what a page or paragraph is about. Links are bright and typically neon in color, and color combinations themselves are heavily contrasted against their backdrop (color patterns such as white, neon green and fuchsia make for an eye-appealing mix). Overall, Web 2.0 typically borrows from minimalist styles - where 'less is more.'"
