Description

Web design shouldn’t be hindered by the need for a fast, smoothly loading site. However, all too often, web designers find themselves choosing between prioritizing creative design choices and speed. Google’s AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) Project has worked with agencies like MetaLab, North Kingdom, and Grain & Mortar to fix this by creating well-designed AMP pages that take full advantage of AMP’s interactive capabilities. Now anyone can access these AMP page templates from AMPstart.com, a library of components and pages all available to download and use across the web. Abby Beck explains how to keep design at the forefront of any web project without sacrificing speed.
