When a Thriving Marketplace Had Zero Designers
A company facilitating $180 million in annual sales without a single web designer sounds impossible, yet this was Etsy's reality in 2010. Randy J. Hunt arrived as their first web designer, constantly hearing colleagues reference "the product" without understanding what distinguished it from a website. This confusion sparked a revelation that would reshape digital design thinking. The distinction isn't trivial-it fundamentally changes how we build for the web. A restaurant's website displaying hours and menu is just that: a website. But the system the owner uses to update that information? That's a product. Products invite repeated use, enable two-way data flow, and create personalized experiences that persist over time. They're living entities requiring user accounts, featuring dynamic flows rather than static pages, and extending beyond browsers into emails, texts, and real-world interactions. Understanding this difference transforms how we approach digital creation-not as finite projects with completion dates, but as evolving experiences that grow alongside their users. Product design thrives at the crossroads of multiple disciplines, and the most powerful insights emerge where these fields blur together. Think of it as a Venn diagram where user experience, visual design, engineering, and business strategy overlap-the center point is where breakthrough products are born.
